The Strongest I've Felt During Pregnancy
As an ex athlete and mom of 3, my body has been through it. But this program was super approachable starting from ground zero at 6 weeks postpartum and now 18 months later. I have never felt stronger or more connected to my body.

Mamas Are Not Delicate
It is the easiest app to follow and takes the guess work out of what exercises I should be doing that day. I've now used the app through 3 pregnancies and I've been so thankful that I was able to still lift heavy (mamas are not delicate) and that I've been able to rebuild back each time.

A Great App for Expectant Mothers
I REALLY LOVE this app! I've been using it since my first trimester and currently in the middle of my second.  First app I've done that has postpartum recovery and works by someone actually credentialed to give workouts and advice.

FAQ

your questions, answered.

Start where you are. Mom Moves is structured in three trimester-specific phases. Begin at your current chapter and train forward from there.

Mom Moves works at home or in the gym. You'll need dumbbells, a resistance band, and an elevated step, though a sturdy box or stair works just as well. Built-in modifications mean you can always adjust for what you have.

Mom Moves was developed by pelvic floor PTs and women's health experts, with programming built specifically for pregnancy, not adapted from a general program after the fact.

The app doesn't leave you. Postpartum Moves picks up where Mom Moves leaves off, a 10-week progressive program developed alongside pelvic floor physical therapists. Your history and progress stay exactly where you left them.

You're not just training for you anymore.

Tell us where you are in your pregnancy. We'll build your plan.
