Programs
Pre and Post Natal Fitness — Buff Baby Training System

We have several options for moms and mom's to be - from personal training, group training with your friends to working out with your baby!

Pre Natal
For expecting moms, we develop customized programs for you to work safely throughout your pregnancy. To keep your workouts fun and different, we can work out in a gym, at your home, or if weather permits, outdoors. The option is yours. We can also work out in a pool if that is more comfortable for you. At all times, our greatest focus is the safety, health and wellness of you and your baby.

Post Natal
Once you have had your baby and your doctor has given the OK for physical activity, we can develop a customized program to slowly and safely get you back into training.
General Post Partum Guidelines

Work Out Alone
If you need some self care time, set up someone to watch your baby so you can work on your fitness and honour your personal health and well being.

Work Out With Your Baby
If you would like to include your baby in your workout, we can develop a program where exercise can also be a bonding experience with your child. Depending on the age of your baby, if it is safe, you can make your baby more a part of your workout (like hugs during squats or push ups with kisses).

Work Out With Your Friends and Babies
You and your fellow moms can get together at one of your homes and workout with a trainer. Either the babies are involved as your resistance, or we can set up a circuit training program where one of the stations is the daycare area. A great way to see your friends and workout at the same time!

  • Stay well hydrated and don't become fatigued or overheated

Second Trimester (13 to 27 weeks)
