About Us

Having always been a fit and active person, it was something I did not consider giving up during my pregnancy. In the early stages it was easy, all my training and active wear fitted me perfectly. However, as time went by I grew more and more frustrated and uncomfortable. I eventually resorted to wearing my husbands training gear as it was all that “fitted” me. In saying that the pants kept slipping down and the top kept creeping up, I found myself constantly either trying to hitch my pants up or pull my shirt down.

 

One morning, I was walking with my best friend and stopped for about the 10^th time to readjust myself, “for goodness sake” I said, “Surely someone must make active wear for pregnant women”, and in that moment the idea for Belly Activ was born.

 

I run a private gym from my home and am a personal trainer, triathlon and swim coach as well as having a marketing degree. The combination of all these skills allowed me to get this business from an idea to reality. As with all initial concepts, things change and tend to take on a life of their own. We decided that a website would be a great idea not only for selling our product but also for giving Mums to be and ladies who have had babies, ideas around getting fit, staying fit and getting back into shape after having their babies. With 20 years experience in fitness and competition I feel as though I have some insight into what would work and what would not.

 

And so we bring you Belly Activ, a range of active wear for Mums to be and anyone who feels as though they could benefit from the comfort, design and technology that has gone into the making of these garments.

 

Belly Activ gear is designed, tested and manufactured in New Zealand and our business is based in Taupo.

 

Enjoy this special time in your life, stay fit and feel fabulous.
