Testimonials:
I fully understand how nuts
life is after having a baby but I can't say enough about the benefits of
CrossFit. This will give you the physical and mental energy you need to care
for your little one(s). This program will not only be a great way to meet and
bond with other mom's but you will SEE RESULTS and have fun in the process!!!
It is only 1 hour out of your day with the support of an amazing trainer like
Aimee and the community that is CrossFit. I personally have been doing CrossFit
for 4 years and did it throughout my entire pregnancy. I gained 40 lbs. with my
pregnancy and I credit my quick postpartum recovery to CrossFit. Aimee is
highly experienced in training mom's and is very aware of the postpartum body
considerations. So mom's, don't want to wait a year+ before squeezing back into
those pre-pregnancy jeans??? This is the program for you!

After many years of
struggling to begin a family, I finally became pregnant with twins in the
beginning of 2013. At the time, I had only been Crossfitting for 4
months. I continued CrossFitted until my 36th week of pregnancy. I felt
great, remained healthy and carried my daughters over 38 weeks. I truly
believe I had such a great pregnancy due to Crossfit and Aimee's guidance
throughout!
-Steph I
CrossFit during and after my first
pregnancy was really the best thing I did for myself. While pregnant, I never
felt better than when I was working out, and then after I had my son, that hour
away was the best for my mental health as a stay at home mom. Now that I am
pregnant again, I plan on continuing to CrossFit during and after again. It is
a great way to do something healthy for yourself, and it only takes an hour.
Aimee has a wealth of knowledge on exercising while pregnant and after and is
very attentive to what you can do at any given time. The free babysitting has
also been wonderful, as I am now able to go during the day and have my evenings
to spend with my family. Crossfit creates a community of moms that is a great
place to go to for advice or just to talk about what's going on. I would hands
down recommend this program to anyone!
-Jackie
I have always been active. I
am a yoga instructor and a pretty avid runner. So crossfit was a natural
addition to my repertoire. However, while pregnant it sometimes felt as though
I was checking off things that I had to stop doing. Luckily, crossfit
was something I maintained throughout my 2nd pregnancy even when other things
were diminishing. Moreover, when I returned after having a baby I felt like I
could add back to my physical capabilities. Each week my body became more
competent and stronger. I also enjoyed how I felt in my body and moving in my
body which is so important in the postpartum stage of a woman's life. Lastly, I
loved the supportive community that Crossfit KoP has offered. As we become
older the chances of us being in a situation where we are consistently cheered
for in a group setting is slim to none. It is truly moving to have other adults
cheer for each other for working hard. There are so little extrinsic and verbal
rewards received in motherhood that feeling supported, seen and routed for by
other adults during a WOD is extremely fulfilling. So, it should come as no
surprise that I have been crossfitting throughout my 3rd pregnancy and plan to
return afterwards!
- Tori
After pregnancy the majority of your time is spent
taking care of your child. The gym is about taking time out of your day
for yourself. I went back to the gym about three weeks postpartum.
The hardest part is remaining patient and knowing that your
pre-pregnancy strength and endurance will take some time to return. It
is important to simply take it day by day and focus on the positive.
After a few weeks of working out, you will begin to feel like your old
self.
