MommaStrong

It’s hard to articulate how incredible MommaStrong is and the ways it has helped me in my life. I’ve been doing it since 2017, when my first kid was a toddler. I have learned SO much about my body from the perspective of movement and how different areas and muscles interact with each other; how to properly support my pelvic floor after pregnancy and childbirth; how to practice self care in a meaningful, doable, and sustainable way; how to approach and remedy physical pain without going into panic mode; and I truly feel stronger, more grounded, and more aware in my body and mind than ever before, even after being a college athlete. MommaStrong welcomes you with open arms, sees and embraces you in whatever phase of motherhood you’re in, and walks alongside you with a beautiful mix of humor, grace, growth, and compassion, day in and day out, in the often messy, hard, and exhausting journey of being a primary caretaker.

I found MommaStrong 18mo postpartum after my first son. I had been in the fitness industry myself for over a decade and was skeptical but not for long. Courtney’s ability to speak to life and the body was a balm for my very battered mind, body, and soul. I came for the workouts and hopes of repairing my body and stayed for the last 6yrs because you can’t find another program that will change you like this one. I love that there is no focus on weight loss or appearance and no judgement of those who are focused on those things. The workouts help you heal and get truly strong, flexible, and mobile not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. I still cannot believe how much content and the amazing community you get access to for such a ridiculously low price. AND their Share the Show Up program helps people afford to join or stay a member! Where else are you getting all of this? I haven’t found another program like this anywhere. Love yourself enough to join and start anywhere you can. You won’t regret it.

This program is the actual best. It is exercises focused on helping you live your life to its fullest, NOT on losing weight or “looking good.” Because who cares how you look if you can’t play with your kid the way you want to because you are feeling too weak or in pain. MommaStrong will help your body and mind to carry the (quite literal) burdens of your life with grace. Even if you don’t keep up with the daily exercises, it’s well worth the subscription cost to basically have your own personal Physical Therapist to help you fix (and prevent) all your random aches and pains (see the Fix Me series!). (Disclaimer: seriously, not a substitute for real physical therapists, they are amazing. But many of us would not go to the doctor for some our aches and pains, and would quietly suffer, and for those folks/situations, I am here to say you can probably fix it!!!) If you are a parent, but even if you aren’t, and would just appreciate someone to hold your hand through taking care of your body in a really thoughtful intentional way, you need to try this. I wish I could give it to everyone. ❤️
