prenatal/postpartum training in seattle

Strength training while
pregnant is safe.

We’ll keep saying it because the myths are still out there.

The truth? Research consistently shows that prenatal exercise supports a healthier birthing parent and baby.

It’s in your DNA to be strong.

That doesn’t mean this is the time to train for your first marathon or aim for a 300lb deadlift PR if you’ve never lifted before. But it does mean that moving your body, picking up weights (babies get heavy fast), and learning how to breathe through discomfort are not just safe—they’re beneficial. Especially with the support of a certified prenatal and postpartum personal trainer with advanced knowledge and experience.

The postpartum period comes with its own challenges, and a structured, progressive return to exercise is one of the best ways to restore strength, rebuild confidence, and prepare for the heavy lifting of parenthood.
