Katie Tams - Founder

I’m the founder of Mama Be Fit! A fitness and wellness brand created for mums at every stage of motherhood.

I’m a mum of two boys, a third on the way, and 2 puppies 🐶 My love of fitness began after having my first baby in 2015, when I qualified as a Personal Trainer.

Exercise has always been a huge part of my life. For me, it’s never just been about how you look-it’s about feeling strong, capable, and confident in yourself. Becoming a mum made me realise even more how important movement, strength and looking after your wellbeing can be through every stage of motherhood.

After specialising in pre and postnatal exercise, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of mums through pregnancy, postnatal recovery and beyond. I’ve experienced first-hand how different each stage of motherhood can feel, and how much the right support, movement and community can make a difference.

Mama Be Fit has grown from a place to safely exercise with your little ones, into a wider community focused on strength, recovery, wellbeing and self-care.

From training programmes and classes, to activewear and our new wellbeing boxes, everything we create is designed to help mums feel supported, strong and cared for.

Because being a mum is a lot-and looking after yourself matters too!

Welcome to Mama Be Fit 💜

Hey everyone!

My name is Charlie and I have a little boy, Hector, who is 5. I've always enjoyed the gym and keeping fit but when Covid hit in 2020 I used it as a good excuse to eat (a lot of) banana bread, drink (a lot of) wine and not do much in the way of exercise at all!

It wasn’t until I found Mama Be Fit in 2021 that my love for fitness resumed, and being able to bring Hector with me and let him play whilst I worked out was perfect! I also started weekly PT sessions with Katie and found a new passion for strength training, rather than the hours of endless cardio I was used to!

The Mama Be Fit community has not only been incredible for my physical and mental health but I've met the most supportive, encouraging and inspiring group of friends. So in Spring 2024, I decided to start my fitness qualifications and was delighted when Katie accepted my offer to help run some classes alongside my current part-time role in Higher Education.

I absolutely love meeting you all and helping you on your fitness journey, whatever your level or experience. It’s such a rewarding feeling and I can’t wait to welcome you to a Mama Be Fit class very soon... I promise you (and your little ones) will love it!

Anna McKenzie - Therapeutic Counsellor

Hi I'm Anna! I support women through
prenatal anxiety, miscarriage, IVF difficulties, postnatal mental health, PTSD, birth stories, motherhood anxiety and identity loss.

Women experience such a huge physical impact becoming mothers, and the mental impact can often be ignored and not given enough care.

Therapeutic counselling gives you the safe, non judgemental, empathic space to explore all these feelings and more.

So much can change during this time in your life that some mental support can make a real difference to this experience.

I offer face to face, phone and online 1:1 and group sessions. Please feel free to reach out below, I look forward to speaking with you!
