About babes + co fitness collective
babes + co fitness collective was founded by Dr. Steph Romero in 2025 after recognizing a need for safe and welcoming movement options for new moms to move in the Guelph community and surrounding areas.
As a family chiropractor with over a decade of experience in the fitness industry, she combined her passions to create baby-wearing dance fitness classes and clinical small group postpartum fitness + rehab programming.

Baby-Wearing Dance Fitness
Let’s dance! This 45-minute baby-wearing class incorporates rhythm and fun, guiding you through steps and movements offering you a unique way to connect with baby and others! There is no baby music played in class – this class is designed for Y-O-U. Expect throwbacks, dance floor classics, and music that makes you want to move. Dance is universal; this class is NOT limited to moms! Dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunties, and funcles are all welcome to participate.
Classes take place at a variety of studio spaces around Guelph including the Victoria Road Recreation Center, Common Ground Studio and Connections Dance Collective. Please see our schedule here.
Flexible class pack options available in 4 or 8 classes ($72/$136+hst) or drop-in ($20+hst). You will be prompted to select which option you would like to purchase once you book your first class.
Note: While led by chiropractor, Dr. Steph Romero, this class is NOT eligible to be covered by chiropractic benefits.
