Medical Clearance (Pre and Postnatal)
We encourage expectant moms to continue to exercise throughout their pregnancies as long as everything has been approved by their physician. Instructors are qualified to lead our professionally designed pre/postnatal fitness programs that follow the latest American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines. We can modify any exercise that poses a challenge as you progress through your pregnancy. FIT4MOM® recommends you obtain your doctor’s approval before beginning this program. If you're pregnant and looking to start working out with us, please speak with your physician ahead of time.
Exercise during pregnancy has proven beneficial and helps improve or increase the following:
Cardiovascular fitness
Muscular strength/endurance
Energy levels
Higher fatigue threshold
Posture and biomechanics
Circulation
Self-esteem, sense of well-being
Recovery time
Moms who have recently given birth can join us for class after they've been cleared by their doctor, typically around 6 weeks postpartum.
