Classes offered by FITMOM Ottawa
FITMOM 2 B: This is a class to help women stay active and healthy during pregnancy. The FITMOM 2 B class focuses on increasing muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance and core stability, helping you feel more energetic and strong throughout your pregnancy.
FITMOM and Baby: This class is an indoor workout for you and your baby. New moms use baby carriers to wear their babies and work to improve strength, cardiovascular fitness, balance and flexibility. This program will help you lose your baby weight, bond with your baby and meet other new moms. As your baby grows, it will provide you with more resistance, making your workout more challenging! Please bring a structured baby carrier (front carrier for younger babies and back carrier for older babies) to this class.
FITWOMAN Bootcamp: This is a challenging workout for women who want to workout without their little ones. This class works to maximize your metabolism by combining various strength and cardiovascular techniques. Women can expect to increase lean muscle, improve cardiovascular endurance and reduce stress. Modifications are provided to accommodate beginner to advanced fitness levels.
FITMOM Stroller Strength: This is an outdoor class that is designed to help you lose weight, gain strength and develop your core. The class is a circuit program designed to accommodate all fitness levels, so that you can work at your own pace, while building strength, stamina and lean muscle. A variety of cardiovascular and resistance exercises are completed each week to help you improve your fitness levels. Coming back in the spring!

Top 5 Reasons to Join FITMOM 2B
1. Boost energy levels: Most women experience fatigue at various times during their pregnancy. Engaging in physical activity 3-5 times per week will actually give you more energy to perform daily tasks and will help you sleep better at night!
2. Reduce common pregnancy discomforts like backache: Strengthening your core muscles will greatly reduce, if not eliminate completely, common back pain experienced by most women during pregnancy.
3. Tone your body: Just because you're pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t have an improved body shape. By increasing lean muscle tissue, you are preparing your body to get back to your pre-pregnancy shape more easily.
4. Reduce your risk of having a Cesarean Section: Studies show that when women are physically active they greatly reduce their chances of having a C-Section.
5. Have an easier labour! Regular exercise helps facilitate the labour process. Women who are physically fit have better strength and stamina to endure the physical demands of labour.
Top 5 Reasons to Join FITMOM and Baby
1. Improve your sleep: Sleep deprivation is a real problem for many moms since waking frequently during the night with a baby is normal. Although working out with your baby doesn’t guarantee a night of uninterrupted sleep, exercise can help you sleep more deeply when you get it. You will also find you have more energy throughout the day.
2. Bond with your baby: Babies who are in close contact with their moms tend to cry less, sleep better and breastfeed more consistently. Wearing your baby during exercise helps them interact and socialize with the world.
3. Have a social life: Women who get out, meet other moms and engage with their community, report having more fun and enjoying the 1st year of their baby’s life even more. Having an active social life can also help reduce the number and intensity of reported post partum mood disorders. Making connections with other moms, sharing parenting advice, discussing challenges and getting support from other women are other benefits of joining the class. You never know who you’ll meet at a FITMOM™ Class!
4. Reduce ‘Mommy Guilt’: The most common reason moms don’t workout in the post-partum period is because they don’t want to leave their babies with an unknown caregiver. FITMOM™ classes are designed to incorporate your baby into the routine WITHOUT compromising your workout, making your exercise time guilt free, fun and effective.
5. Improve Fitness Levels: Ask any of the 10,000 women trained by FITMOM™ coaches and many of them will tell you that their fitness levels improved AFTER having their baby. Classes are designed to meet the unique physical needs of women during the post partum period so that you can increase your level of cardiovascular fitness, strengthen your core and improve your strength and flexibility.
