As Seen On...

Should you become A Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach?

No experience required!!

If you are a...

🎯 CrossFit Coach or Group fitness instructor

that hates not knowing how to coach the women in your class beyond “listen to your body” or “don’t do abs."

🎯 Personal Trainer

who wants to retain your clients during pregnancy and postpartum and even increase your hourly rate now that you have more specialized training.

🎯 Gym Owner

that knows adding a women’s specific strength class with qualified coaches would create an a much needed additional revenue source.

🎯 Physical therapist or Practitioner

seeing more and more athletic women in practice, wanting to better understand strength & conditioning and how to progress clients beyond table exercises.

🎯 Tactical Athlete or Coach

that supports people navigating the challenges of returning to duty postpartum.

🎯 Female athlete

that is in the trenches, navigating this chapter of fitness alone.

You’re in the right place.

The Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coaching Certification will give you the tools, resources and support you need to coach female athletes as they navigate fitness through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

Does this advice sound familiar?

"JUST LISTEN TO YOUR BODY"

Listen for what?
When should a movement be stopped? What's the difference between normal exercise discomfort and something that is truly concerning?

"DON'T LIFT OVER 50%"

50% of what?
A 1 Rep Max?
What you usually lift?
50% less reps?
Cut back on intensity?

"DO WHAT YOU'VE
ALWAYS DONE."

The notion that as long as an athlete doesn’t do MORE than what they normally do then they will be fine is generic and not enough.

Help change the fitness experience for Pregnant + Postpartum Athletes!

By The End Of This Certification You'll Be Able To:

01 Coach athletes through each trimester of pregnancy and stage of postpartum recovery.

02 Understand core + pelvic health symptoms and know what fitness adjustments to make.

03 Confidently communicate with clients as a coach who sees the big picture.

04 Build and create in-person and online offerings that attract clients and generate income.

05 Effectively write exercise programs for clients that are pregnant, postpartum, or symptomatic.

You DO Coach Athletes!

An athlete is MORE than someone who lifts heavy weights or plays a sport.

We believe that an athlete is any person who pursues fitness across a spectrum of interest and ability.

But More than anything else...

The Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Certification course teaches you how to apply what you’ve learned to the client in front of you.

Theory, clinical applications, and breathing recommendations only go so far.

We go beyond extreme examples and generic advice to provide a practical training approach and emotionally intelligent coaching style that leaves clients feeling supported and informed during these seasons.

All while helping you create an income from coaching that helps support whatever your financial goals are.

It's More Than Exercise Modifications!

Exercise modifications are a great start when coaching pregnant and postpartum athletes.

BUT ...

Coaches also need context to know why they are suggesting a modification, and when and how they should implement it.

We know you may not have a background in exercise physiology so we’ve created an easy to understand framework to observe and address the 5 variables that often influence core and pelvic health considerations.

Highlights Include:

✔️ Understanding of the structure and function of the core muscles and pelvic floor.

✔️ The P&PA Principle and how each “player” impacts core + pelvic floor function.

Coaches are often the first to see a new mom in a fitness setting and we have to act as the first line of defense, a quality guiding voice, and a resource for recovering and reintegrating.

In this module, you’ll learn how to approach training in the postpartum chapter as well as knowing how to progress, regress, adapt, and lead her toward improved function and performance.

We bring in experts from different fields to provide further context and clarity so you walk away knowing the considerations and thought processes behind each specialty.

There are so many components of motherhood that impact fitness, health, and overall well being.

As coaches, we must recognize that our influence and education can extend beyond providing workouts and exercises.
