Testimonials

"I have worked with Courtney throughout my pregnancy. She is excellent and ensuring that I know how to do the exercises properly and maintain form throughout. She is ready with modifications to any exercises if they are not working or don’t feel quite right. She has been an incredible resource throughout my pregnancy at keeping me active while making sure I’m listening to my body and what my body needs. She does a fantastic job at keeping me accountable to my goals without being judgmental."

Kaitlyn

"Courtney is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She takes the time to explain all the exercises and goes the extra mile by providing videos and descriptions making it much easier for the client to do their workout at their own leisure, if they wish to do so.
Courtney is very patient and thorough, providing motivation and encouragement to her clients, I for one feel very comfortable and confident because of this.
I would highly recommend CMC Fitness Consulting for prenatal and postnatal exercises!"

Jenna

"I have worked with Courtney as my trainer throughout 2 pregnancies.  She has listened to all of my concerns and got me right back on track where I wanted to be safely! I came to her with big goals and when I became pregnant with my second baby whilst in the middle of working through postnatal training she went above and beyond to adjust and create a personalized program where I could continue to work towards those goals! I would recommend CMC fitness consulting  to anyone who wants to continue their fitness journey pre or postnatally!"

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions that I get. 
Please send me an email or message if you have any that are not listed here!

Can I do your programs if I had my kids years ago?

Yes!! As soon as you have your child(ren) you are considered postnatal. Once you are postnatal, you are always postnatal. My programs can be designed to fit your specific needs. Especially if you still do or are now experiencing symptoms of incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or diastasis recti. They can also be adjusted to accommodate an existing injury, chronic pain, or other symptoms.

Why do you only offer one-to-one for pregnant clients?

Each individual pregnancy is different. Whether it is your first pregnancy, or consecutive pregnancy, your body with go through different changes/experiences. Due to this, I recommend a one-to-one program so that I can be there every step along the way, adjusting as needed as baby grows and develops.

I am currently working on an educational course for movement during pregnancy, but it won't necessarily be a "tailored" exercise program.

Why does your Return to Running program recommend I be 6+ months postpartum?

New research is coming out each year on recommendations during the postpartum period. After delivery, abdominal or vaginal, your body, and more specifically your pelvic floor, needs to have time to recover. A quote I always use is, "You can't fire a cannon out of a canoe." Running is considered a high-impact activity, aka a cannon-type activity. Without proper physical rehabilitation following delivery, your body may not be able to support running as well as if you take 6 or more months to do the foundational work. My Return to Running program does just that. It is based off of the newest research for returning to running postpartum and helps you build your foundation as you get back to running.
