Safe Return to Exercise is for you if..

  • You are dedicated to continuing to up-skill especially during a time like this.
  • You want to become THE go-to person in your area KNOWN for working with mums.
  • You are an Exercise Professional working with WOMEN - in 2016 mums made up 77% of women aged 15+
  • You are an Exercise Professional currently working with mums but don't hold an actual certification (often times you might not even know you need a specific qualification - you do)
  • You are newly qualified and know you want to work with mums within your Fitness Business
  • You are already working with mums within your established fitness business but want to refine your practices and processes
  • You work within a big box gym running group training sessions and you want to understand how to individually look after the women who attend your classes
  • You work one on one with clients and want to know where to start and how to work with them in the most effective way
  • You run group training sessions and you want to know how to properly screen and structure your training sessions to look after all of your mums to the best of your ability

Safe Return to Exercise is NOT for you if..

  • You don't want to train your female clients once they enter motherhood
  • You think that working with mums is a quick fix to fill your 9.30am time slot through just ticking a box of accreditation
  • You are not open to continuous learning and commitment to a growth mindset within your fitness business
  • You think you have learned it all from previous courses
  • You expect to know everything straight away - our time together will give you an amazing foundation for your continued learning but the real work starts when you begin to implement your learnings
  • You are not open to partnerships with other health, fitness and medial professionals to best support your mum-clients

I'm ready to change lives! Book my Safe Return to Exercise spot!

Before this course I would never have known so much about Women's Health in general. After this course I am keen to gain more knowledge on Women's Health and pass on this knowledge to the many young women I work with a teach. - Thai Bi Yu


I now know that every woman that has had a baby is postnatal.  I feel I am more equipped to look after myself and share my knowledge with my clients so that more people are aware of the special attention that postnatal mums need & not to rush the process. - Yee Chin Wei, Ivy


Safe Return to Exercise has been a fantastic learning and growth experience. I really expanded and cemented my learning around safely training pre and postnatal women. I think this sort of training should form part of every trainers education. It is extremely unlikely that in our work as a PT we are never going to work with a woman and or a postnatal woman. - Carissa Harrison

YES! I wanna hang with you guys - book me in!
