Why Moms Train With Hannah


Hannah Pithers has been a certified personal trainer since 2009, and she created the Postpartum Recovery Program, a 4-week online course for rebuilding strength after childbirth. She also knows what it's like to rebuild a core from scratch. In 2017, surgery for Crohn's disease removed her large intestine, and she left the hospital at 114 pounds. Within six months she had regained her muscle and strength and competed on American Ninja Warrior. That's why she coaches moms the way she does: start where you are, move safely, and build back step by step.

Hannah works alongside your OB, midwife or pelvic floor physical therapist, not in place of them.

Why Specialized Training During and After Pregnancy Matters

Your body changes month to month, so your training should too.

Safe, Expert Guidance

The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week during pregnancy and after birth, and says women who were very active before pregnancy can continue. Hannah adjusts every session to your trimester or recovery and to how you feel that day.

Core and Pelvic Floor Support

Your core and pelvic floor carry a lot through pregnancy and birth. The 2025 Canadian postpartum guideline in the British Journal of Sports Medicine recommends pelvic floor muscle training every day after birth to lower the risk of leaking, ideally with technique taught by a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Hannah builds that work, plus gentle core training, into your plan.

Boosted Energy and Confidence

According to the CDC, staying active during pregnancy lowers the risk of excessive weight gain and gestational diabetes, and after birth it can ease symptoms of postpartum depression. And an hour that's just for you counts for something too.

Training Through Each Stage

Here's what training usually looks like at each stage. It's general guidance, and your doctor's or midwife's advice always comes first.

StageWhat training focuses onKeep in mind
First trimesterKeeping up the strength and cardio you already do, adjusted for nausea and fatigueAvoid overheating, which matters most now, and skip hot yoga and hot Pilates (MotherToBaby)
Second and third trimestersStrength for your back, hips and legs, plus posture and breathing to prepare for labor and carrying a babyNo exercises lying flat on your back, and no contact sports or moves with a fall risk
First weeks after birthGentle walking, breathing and daily pelvic floor workStart when your provider says it's OK. The 2025 Canadian guideline recommends getting active within the first 12 weeks
Once incisions or tears have healedRebuilding strength training step by step, working up to at least 120 minutes of activity a week over 4 or more daysThe guideline calls resistance training generally safe once you've healed and bleeding doesn't increase with activity
Months laterStrength for lifting a growing baby and a car seat, posture, and your own goalsProgress at your pace. Sleep and stress count too

Diastasis Recti and Your Pelvic Floor

Many moms worry about diastasis recti, the separation of the abdominal muscles that often happens in pregnancy. Hannah coaches gentle, progressive core work and helps you move without fear. If you notice leaking, a feeling of heaviness, or a separation that worries you, see a pelvic floor physical therapist first, and Hannah will build your training around their plan.

FAQs About Pre and Postpartum Training

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

Yes, with the right guidance. Our trainers tailor exercises to your trimester, focusing on safe movements that support your body and your baby. ACOG calls physical activity in pregnancy safe and desirable when there are no medical or pregnancy complications.

How soon after giving birth can I start training?

Every recovery is unique. We'll coordinate with your doctor's clearance and adapt sessions to your readiness and comfort level.

Do I need special equipment?

No. Most sessions use bodyweight and dumbbells. If training in-studio, we'll provide all equipment as needed.

Can I bring my baby to sessions?

For studio sessions, absolutely. We design a welcoming environment that fits your lifestyle as a new mom.

When can I start training after a C-section?

Start once your doctor or midwife clears you, and begin gently. The 2025 Canadian postpartum guideline suggests light activity such as gentle walking early on, building up once your incision has healed. From there, Hannah adds core and strength work at a pace your body is ready for.

Can you help with diastasis recti?

Yes, Hannah can coach gentle, progressive core training that works around diastasis recti. She can't diagnose it or promise to close a gap, so if a separation, leaking or heaviness worries you, see a pelvic floor physical therapist first. Hannah will then build your training on their plan.

Is it safe to lift weights while pregnant?

For most healthy pregnancies, yes, with your provider's OK. The CDC says women who were active before pregnancy can continue, and ACOG considers activity in an uncomplicated pregnancy safe and desirable. Hannah adjusts the weights, positions and exercises as you go, such as dropping moves that have you lying flat on your back later in pregnancy.

How do I exercise during a Phoenix summer while pregnant?

Train early or indoors, and don't let yourself overheat. MotherToBaby advises avoiding overheating during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and skipping hot yoga and hot Pilates. Our Midtown studio opens at 6am on weekdays, and in-studio and online sessions keep you out of the afternoon heat.
