‘You can’t open a magazine these days without being exposed to the current celebrity trend for dramatic weight loss after having a baby. This is not only unrealistic and irresponsible but also extremely unhealthy and puts tremendous pressure on new mums to get back into shape quickly’ Melinda Nicci
Melinda Nicci is the hottest name in pre and post natal training, and with her baby2body programme fast catching on across the UK and beyond, a book and DVD about to hit the stores, drastic measures will be a thing of the past!
The loss of your figure can be a traumatic experience both physically and mentally - and can often detract from the miracle of having that longed for baby. Melinda, recognising a need for positive steps after the birth of her first child in 1994, developed a system to tone the body and improve fitness levels together with a healthy eating programme before and after childbirth. She called this baby2body. Today, baby2body is carried out all over the world encouraging women to stay in shape during their pregnancy, get back into shape after birth and to maintain a toned and healthy physique for months to follow.
Born in South Africa, Melinda was a pioneer in Aqua Aerobics and the first qualified trainer in the country. She has over ten different fitness qualifications including ACE (American Council on Exercise) plus a degree in Psychology and has been a trainer and consultant for the past 22 years.
Along with personal training, lifestyle consultations and lecturing, Melinda’s baby2body classes are now running within Gymboree Centres and Topsy Turvey across London. Melinda is also pre and postnatal fitness and nutrition consultant for beachbody.com – one of the US leading portals for health and fitness. Melinda has had numerous TV appearances including winning the GMTV Ultimate Bikini Body Challenge in Summer 2005. Her expert advice and buoyant personality is often in demand on Radio where she has been a regular guest on LBC and BBC Radio London. Melinda has been appointed Fitness Expert for Prima Baby from Jan 06 and she is often featured within many glossy magazines and national newspapers.
Melinda’s positive energy and passion for her work inspires and motivates her clients to make the right choices–the success stories speak for themselves!
