What People Are Saying
“As a mom of 3 boys (3 under age 4!), I wasn’t sure how I’d be able to fit in working out since the pandemic started. I was so happy to hear that Kellie could evaluate me via video chat once I got cleared and Ally could create a customized program that targeted my needs. I had a c-section with this past pregnancy and wasn’t recovering as well as the last two. Kellie and Ally ensured me that they would give me all the tools I needed to workout safely.
I have officially completed 4 weeks of FitPartum and I am so happy with the results so far. In the beginning, I was moving slowly and even some of the modified movements were uncomfortable for me. I had an open line of communication with Ally and she was quick to provide me with alternate modifications that better suited me. Ally provided me with workouts that I could complete in about 30 mins or less so I could fit it into nap time!Fast forward 4 weeks later, I am not only moving so much better but mentally I’m in such a better place. Those 30 mins a day is exactly what I needed to keep me going for the boys. FitPartum is a program that I wish I had access to during all 3 of my pregnancies, but am so thankful it was part of 2 of my pregnancy journeys. This program not only helping me with my recovery but it also provided me with safe modifications throughout my pregnancy. I highly recommend this program to any who is pregnant or postpartum! 💗”

I am an occupational therapist, and while I have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology as well as diastasis recti, I certainly was out of my wheelhouse when around 6 months PP I noticed the separation was not closing at all. I had a slight separation after the first pregnancy but the second pregnancy just seemed to blow my abs right open. At the same time, I was having a nagging left low back/hip pain that I couldn't seem to shake so it was time for me to admit I can not solve all my own problems in the gym and that I needed help.
I saw Kellie to assess my separation as well as hip pain. Even though I knew the separation of my abs was deep and wide it was still not great to hear. Mostly just a blow to the ego. The old me would have been like " I am still going to do what I want" or push beyond my limits due to my unreasonable inner competitiveness. Kellie took the time to complete an extremely in depth assessment of my ailments which also made me feel like 100 years old but actually was just an indicator that I needed to slow my roll and not come back to the gym trying to go balls to the wall after growing two humans in three years. Probably the most important thing she taught me is that even if my separation does not fully close, I can still control it and use it functionally in the gym. However, in order to get to that point, I had to take a long hiatus from the rig to really focus on learning to breath with exertion and control my abdominal muscle contractions. I knew it was the only way I was going to really address the problem and fix it.
So the new me went back to the gym with a new mindset that I am not going to lie was not easy to adjust to initially. Ally helped me tremendously switch out moves on a daily basis in class in accordance to the plan Kellie set up. Honestly most of the modifications were more difficult then the original. I really learned a lot about being patient with myself and trusting the process and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. I am grateful to Kellie and Ally for everything that FItPartum helped me accomplish and can not recommend this program enough.

I started FitPartum after baby number 3. I had been working out consistently for years so I thought jumping back into workouts post partum would be easy but I was very wrong! Everything felt hard and uncomfortable so I knew I needed help. I met with Kellie and Ally for an evaluation and started my remote program. Everything was really customized to what I could do physically, the equipment i have and my goals. I miss the interactions of being in the gym 5 days a week but Kellie and Ally are so accessible I never feel alone! From weekly check ins, little notes in my programming, sending videos back and forth I always feel supported. When I’ve felt stuck in my progression or having difficulty with moves I‘ve set up in person check ins which have really made a difference. As a working mom of three the flexibility of FitPartum has truly been a lifesaver! I’m a much better wife and mom when I get my workout in!
