A nap or a workout?

At FitMama Strong, you don’t have to choose — sometimes both happen at once! 😴💪

Babywearing workouts mean hands-free fitness, a built-in progressive load as baby grows, and practical strength for real life.

💗 Learn more about our prenatal + postpartum fitness community and discover how strong (and supported) your motherhood journey can feel.

🧠 Exercise & Maternal Mental Health 🧘‍♀️🍂

Fall is the perfect time to start something new — and that includes caring for your mental well-being.

Movement isn’t just about getting stronger — it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting maternal mental health. Regular exercise can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, boost energy, and improve sleep (yes, even in the newborn days!).

✨ According to the new 2025 Perinatal Exercise Guidelines, beginning gentle movement before 12 weeks postpartum can significantly lower the risk of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PPMAD).

That means the earlier you start moving — safely and intentionally — the more protective benefits you’ll gain for both your body and your mind.

🍁 This fall, give yourself permission to move in ways that feel good. Whether it’s joining one of our FitMama Strong classes (online or in-person), or taking a short walk -every bit of movement counts.

What’s your favourite way to move your body for the mental health benefits? Do you love to walk, dance, practice yoga, run, strength training or something else?

“How much should I be moving after baby?”

The 2025 Postpartum Activity Guidelines say: 120 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous movement, including both cardio + strength.

At FitMama Strong, our in-person and online classes make that easy — each one blends safe, effective strength and cardio to rebuild your energy, confidence, and connection to your body.

Join us in person, live on Zoom, or on demand — every minute counts toward your postpartum strength. 💪

💬 Does the 120-minute goal feel doable for you right now?

t’s not easy, but it’s worth it. 💪💗

Finding time to move your body while caring for a little one can feel impossible some days—but small steps add up. Here are 4 simple ways to make getting active with your baby a little smoother:

✨ Schedule it
✨ Get organized
✨ Involve your baby
✨ Adjust your expectations

Because showing up for yourself isn’t just good for you—it’s good for your little one, too. 🌸

💬 Tell us in the comments: Which of these tips do you want to try this week? Or do you have a go-to hack for squeezing in movement with your baby? Share it below—you might inspire another mama!

How do we build strength in our postpartum classes?

We learn how to HINGE for every day life - so you can get your baby in and out of the crib, stroller, high chair -IYKYK 😘

We work our upper body with a focus on biceps, triceps and shoulders. When your arms are strong you can lift better, which puts less stress on your pelvic floor

We connect with our pelvic floor and incorporate mobility, alignment and proper breathing mechanics to help improve core strength

We select exercises that work our back muscles which helps to improve our posture and to counter that forward pull that pregnancy and postpartum positions cause

We also love to lunge, squat, rotate, push and pull to ensure your full body is strong and ready for all the things (carrying gear, wrangling toddlers, returning to sport, and living your best life!)

Drop us a 🥳 if you’re ready to join us!!

✨ Get to Know Fitmama Strong Durham ✨

Hi, I’m Jen — owner and founder of FitMama Strong Durham, certified birth doula, Lamaze childbirth educator, pre/postnatal fitness specialist, personal trainer and resident baby snuggler 💜 💪💜 I started FitMama Strong to give moms a space where they feel supported, encouraged, and strong — whether they’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or balancing life with older kids.

🌿 My favourite ways to move: strength and mobility training, with some runs sprinkled in. I also love walking and hikes along the trails with my family.
 ☕ Coffee or tea? Definitely tea first thing in the morning (after some water). Fun Fact: I don’t drink coffee! In fact, I have never even tried it.
 🎶 My pump-up vibe: it depends on my mood, but you know that if a fav song comes up I am singing and dancing between sets 😉 (IYKYK)
 💜 What I love most about teaching: helping mamas rebuild their strength and reminding them that their wellness matters too.

When you join me in class, you’ll find a welcoming space where movement meets community — whether in person, live on Zoom or on-demand. I can’t wait to cheer you on and help you feel strong in every season of motherhood.

💬 Drop a 👋 if we’ve worked out together, or share what you love most about your FitMama Strong workouts!

Band work is a fun way to build time under tension while also supporting muscle building and endurance.

We love it because it gives tactile feedback to help our members improve form while also adding a progressive challenge when ready.

Our postpartum classes are all about rebuilding base strength after pregnancy and they are the perfect mix of fun, function and challenge. Imagine a class that is tailored to YOU but with a whole bunch of new besties to hang out with!

Are you a fan of loop bands? Let us know with a 💕 in the comments below!

We love to help people get back to feeling strong and enjoying their favourite activities!

We do this by building a strong, solid base to support functional movement (day to day)

We provide expertise and guidance related to pelvic floor and core health. This means we emphasize breathing mechanics and mobility, pressure management and coordination of the pelvic floor to support the demand. It’s not about having visible abs- it’s about having a healthy responsive core and pelvic floor that can respond to pressure without symptoms like leaking, heaviness, urgency, or pain.

We have expertise in both prenatal and postpartum exercise, early parenting, infant development , pelvic floor health and mental wall being. Our programs are really unique because of our specialization, education and training. We are always committed to learning more, to share with you and are always striving to provide quality, evidence based programs.

Check out our programs and decide which one is best for you!

Our goal is not to just rebuild connections to your community, but also with your body! It has gone through a tremendous amount of change.

Let our expertise, education and training support you as you rehab, retrain and strengthen after birth and beyond!
