Fitmama Strong Ottawa

Today was easily one of the top 10 worst days for stroller classes that I’ve had in 16 seasons! It was cold, grey, rainy and all around kind of gross. And yet, some of the class still showed up!

I’m always amazed when people choose to attend a class in this weather. Especially when you’re bringing your baby. Thank you for showing up for our last class of this series. Thankfully we at least stayed dry!

If you weren’t able to make it, that’s great as well. I’m not sure I would have been compelled to leave the house in this weather! Luckily, these really yucky days are few and far between for our outdoor stroller classes:)

Wishing all the mamas going back to work soon, a smooth transition! Thank you for supporting g my business:) I’ll miss you!

We finished today’s class off with a one minute wall sit. Everyone was a rockstar and got it done!

Even with all the smiles, I’m not sure this is anyone’s fav exercise! Do you have a favourite movement you like? Mine is definitely a deadlift of some variation!

Did you recently have a baby and are thinking about moving your body again? If so, we recommend getting new workout shoes! Why, you ask? Check out our most recent blog post for all the reasons we encourage you to consider buying new shoes to workout in:)

Pregnancy can change your feet in ways you might not expect, which means your favourite pre-pregnancy shoes may not provide the same comfort or support postpartum. Learn why reassessing your footwear can help you feel more comfortable and supported as you return to walking, workouts, and everyday mo

We think your baby makes the best workout partner. ❤️

As we move from our Stroller Strong season into our indoor Babywearing classes, we’re bringing the same Fitmama philosophy with us:

Your baby doesn’t have to be worked around — they’re welcome to be part of it.

Our Babywearing Fitness classes are designed specifically for life with a little one. We use your baby carrier, your bodyweight, dumbbells and other equipment to create a workout that helps you rebuild strength, reconnect with your body and keep progressing postpartum.

And because babies don’t always follow the workout plan, neither do we. 😉

Need to feed? Great, take a pause!
Need to settle baby? No rush, babies need comfort.
Baby needs to be worn? We’ve got you.
Ready to challenge yourself? We’ll help you do that, too.

It’s not about squeezing in a workout while your baby happens to be there. It’s about creating movement that works WITH motherhood.

We’re here to help you start where you are and grow from there.

🧡Babywearing Fitness is coming indoors this fall. Stay tuned for details! 🧡

Be sure you're on our waitlist to get all of the info. Until then, you can find our Babywearing Fitness friendly workouts in our On-Demand library of workout videos!

Be the first to know about upcoming Mom and Baby indoor, in-person classes and much more!

It was a perfect day to start our Hog’s Back stroller classes!

This little one thought so as well and was all smiles for her baby lifts!

I got to hold three babies today and that made my day:)

Hope you’re all enjoying this sunny day in Ottawa today 💕

It’s been a while since you’ve seen me on here! But I thought I’d show up after our Express Elevate class where we spent 30 minutes working out on our stability balls. If you know me, you know I LOVE a good ball class!

Nearly 20 years ago, I went to my first Fitmama Strong class and we used stability balls. I had a hate-hate relationship with them back then! But after working on my strength and core muscles I finally learned how not to roll off the ball or have it go flying out from under me. And now? It’s my favourite kind of class.

Clearly I’m not the only one because everyone who showed up tonight was as excited as I was for a ball class! I’m off on holidays for the next two weeks but I’m committed to remembering to include our stability balls more often this fall. I’ll leave a comment on our schedule on the dates where you should bring a ball to class. (If you don’t have one, consider getting one!:)

Happy August! Enjoy these last weeks of summer!

We wrapped up our summer Stroller Strong classes on Tuesday with one of the best days of the summer! We had a mixed bag of weather during this 6 weeks and all of our mamas were there for it (the ones who needed to miss showed up at our online and on-demand classes instead!).

My favourite thing about our stroller classes is getting to meet all of the moms and babies and get to know them. Of course there’s generally a pretty good workout, but we all know that half the fun is meeting new friends and creating your community. By the end of the series when everyone is chatting with each other, I know our programs are working! Exercise, community, strength and laughter are what it’s all about!

See you in the fall!
