I am so proud and excited to introduce my 26-week long prenatal fitness program: GOOD // SWEAT Pregnancy Guide. This guide has taken longer than any of my other guides to program, test, develop, and finalize as I designed it while I was pregnant with my first. I’ve put so much care into this guide, because nobody understands how confusing and complicated pregnancy can feel until you’ve gone through it yourself.

I designed this program with you in mind—it’s for all the incredible moms-to-be who want to keep moving confidently while safely growing their babies. As a certified personal trainer and prenatal exercise specialist, my goal is to give you peace of mind, so you never have to second-guess whether an exercise is safe at any stage of pregnancy. With that in mind, I encourage you to always listen to your body and make adjustments as needed. As your personal dietitian, I also offered my own recommendations in regards to nutrition and supplements. I’m so excited to be part of this special chapter in your life and help you stay consistent with your fitness routine while feeling your best!

To give you even more value, I brought on my own personal pelvic floor physical therapist, Dr. Laura Jewett, to be part of this program. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pelvic floor health, which is incredibly important to learn about while pregnant. Laura’s professional expertise adds so much to this guide and I’m so excited for you to have her guidance as you get closer to birth – she gave me so much confidence.

If you’re newly pregnant, further in your pregnancy, or even trying to conceive, this guide is perfect for you. I hope you enjoy the consistency of the workouts, the very digestible educational format, the confidence to move your body, and the community of other expecting mama’s, including me! I think you’ll love this guide and I can’t wait to hear what you think. xx Rach

Why Exercise Matters During Pregnancy

Staying active during pregnancy has amazing benefits! It helps maintain your heart health, keeps your energy up for daily tasks, and supports your mental well-being and sleep quality. Plus, it strengthens your muscles to support your joints and posture as your body changes. Regular exercise can also help you get in tune with your breathing patterns and pelvic floor muscles, which is so helpful for labor and beyond. And, all the benefits you build during pregnancy will carry over into your postpartum life, helping you stay strong and prepared for the journey of parenthood.

What You Can Expect From This Program:

This program focuses on making fitness a seamless part of your day, without added stress.
