Why Join

WHY MOMUMENTAL FITNESS

Healthy Moms = Happy Little Ones

Did you know that babies whose mothers exercise during pregnancy experience numerous developmental boosts which make them healthier later on in life?

Prenatal Care

PRE & POSTNATAL CARE

Special Care for All Mothers

Whether you’ve already given birth or your pregnancy journey has only just begun, these personalized pre and post pregnancy fitness programs are designed to help you respectively recover from or prepare for labor, birth, and life as a new mom.

Prenatal Care

Prenatal care reduces complications during pregnancy and prevents problems during delivery. We focus on preparing mothers for pregnancy and postnatal life by focusing on:

Benefits

BENEFITS

How Pre or Postnatal Fitness May Benefit You

If you have already experienced or are concerned about going through any of the symptoms below, discover the science-backed evidence of how components of our personalized exercise programs may help you throughout pregnancy and beyond:

Low Energy

Levels

Changes to our bodies and the rigors of labor and delivery all combined with little sleep and the stress of caring for a newborn can pack a powerfully exhausting punch.

Cardiorespiratory training during and following pregnancy provides greater energy reserves and enables mothers to manage day-to-day tasks with greater ease. Additionally, a strong respiratory system means that women are better able to tolerate the stresses of pregnancy and the physical demands of labor and delivery.

Upper and Lower

Back Pain

Increased breast size, weight gain, and postural changes can lead to serious back pain.

Strength exercises for the abdominal muscles provide stability and support for the spine and stretching also helps to reduce back discomfort, muscular tension, cramps, and posture-related issues.   

Low Mood & Self-Esteem 

During pregnancy, hormones rise and fall — dramatically impacting your physical and emotional state. And while some new mothers talk about the joys of parenting, you may feel like you’ve got a case of the baby blues.


Exercise is proven to elevate mood and counteract feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression that can occur during pregnancy and beyond. It also improves self-esteem and body image, helping women adapt easier to increased body weight and bulk.

Inability to Lose Excess Weight

While all mothers are expected to gain weight, many find it difficult to return to their postpartum body after childbirth. Everyone goes at their own pace but recovery from pregnancy and delivery often takes around 6–12 months.

 

Consistent exercise plays a vital role in helping new mothers regain and even improve their pre-pregnancy shape. 

Lack of Support or Encouragement

It is common for mothers to feel a sense of isolation and stress.
 

A pre or postpartum exercise class provides an emotional outlet and is a tremendous resource

for encouraging new moms to exercise – providing the peer support needed for women to feel comfortable taking away from their babies to focus on themselves.

Reviews

REVIEWS

“Your company “MOMumental fitness” has allowed me to be aware of so much that I would’ve been oblivious too after the baby was born. I intentionally find my wife wherever she is in the house to give her a hug and tell her how much I love her. I do this after we have put the baby down for a nap or when we are just relaxing. I can tell this attention is important to her. I am able to remember now to ensure that she doesn’t lack any love or attention because the baby is our focal point.

“MOMumental fitness is a gem. I would highly recommend this program to mothers postpartum. I’ve learned so much and I feel amazing. Not to mention it was fun! I found myself excited to see what was in store each session. My fitness journey has just begun but I'm forever grateful it started with you. Infinite thanks and much success! I can’t thank you enough. ”
