Buggyfit Preston

I need your help 🫶✨️

After 15 years of teaching post natal fitness under the Buggyfit name, I took the decision to take some time out for myself, my family and my health.

Ive been asked a number of times if I'll be returning to the parks of Preston.

The answer is YES! But this time I will be relaunching under a new name and I'd like your help in naming this new class.

So, what's your suggestions and what parks would you like to see classes returning to 💪🫶

Feedback needed ✨️

After 13 years of delivering Buggyfit classes in Preston, I had to take a step back for personal reasons.

Would mums like to see the return of post natal classes back on Preston's Parks?

Your feedback is extremely appreciated 🫶

This is why physical activity, exercise, being outdoors, sunshine and friendship groups are vital for looking after yourself and inturn your family.

Researchers have found that working mothers face some of the highest cortisol levels ever recorded, driven by relentless multitasking and emotional strain. The study equates motherhood alone to managing three full-time jobs, underscoring the urgent need for rest, support, and self-care. Chronic stress, experts warn, is silently reshaping women’s health and family wellbeing.

In 1903, when premature babies were left to die in hospital corridors, Martin Couney had an audacious plan. He'd smuggle life-saving technology into America disguised as entertainment.

Couney set up his "Infantorium" at Coney Island, where rows of glass incubators held the tiniest fighters you'd ever seen. These babies were so small they wore doll clothes because no store made human garments tiny enough.

The sign read "All the World Loves a Baby" and visitors paid 25 cents to peek inside. Critics called it exploitation. Parents called it salvation.

What the crowds didn't realize was they were witnessing a medical revolution. Every nickel and dime funded round-the-clock nursing care, specialized feeding, and temperature-controlled environments that hospitals refused to provide.

Couney encouraged his nurses to hold and cuddle the babies in front of audiences, proving these weren't specimens but precious children deserving love and care.

For four decades, desperate families brought their smallest miracles to a man who promised what doctors wouldn't: hope. By the time Couney's exhibits ended, he had welcomed over 8,000 babies and sent 6,500 of them home alive.

The "fake" doctor's carnival sideshow became the blueprint for modern neonatal intensive care units. Sometimes the greatest medical breakthroughs happen not in sterile hospitals, but in the hands of someone brave enough to care when the world has given up.

Martin Couney never earned a medical degree. But he earned something far greater—the gratitude of thousands of families and a legacy that still saves lives today.

“All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.⁠

This means our cellular life as an egg begins⁠
in the womb of our grandmother.⁠

Each of us spent five months in our⁠
grandmother’s womb, and she in turn⁠
formed in the womb of her grandmother.⁠

We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother’s blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.”⁠
