Embracing Movement: The Power of Exercise During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey of transformation, and while rest is undoubtedly important, staying as active as you can manage plays a vital role in supporting both mother and baby. From my experience, this stage of life is wonderful, but also really hard. It’s hard seeing your body changing and not being able to do (or easily do) the things you’ve always done (ie. jogging up a flight of stairs without sucking wind or even rolling over in bed). Even if you’ve never exercised regularly in your life, a well-designed exercise routine during pregnancy can offer a wealth of benefits, from easing common discomforts to preparing your body for labor and postpartum recovery. It's about finding a balance that honors your changing body while nurturing your strength and well-being.
Here are some key benefits that exercising can do:
Improves your energy levels
Reduces back pain
Alleviates constipation
Helps manage gestational diabetes
Boosts your mood
Reduces stress
Improves sleep quality
Gives you the strength you need to take care of your newborn

Did you know that we are certified specifically in pregnancy and postpartum exercise? We have many spent hours studying the current recommendations for exercises with various populations of pregnant and postpartum women to best help you!
“Vitality is an amazing personal training studio and it has great group fitness classes. The trainers are attentive and knowledgeable and will curate programming and workouts specific to you and your goals. If you have any limitations or injuries, they will always work with you to find an effective but safe way to work out. For me, I initially visited Vitality for their emphasis on women's health. I joined when I was pregnant - Stef and Ryann are experts in working with women and specifically with prenatal and postpartum phases. It was a non-intimidating way to come and get some movement in no matter how I was feeling. After having the baby, they helped guide and pace me back into a fitness routine that has been sustainable for continued strength and improvement. MAJOR BONUS - YOU CAN BRING YOUR KIDS TO CERTAIN CLASSES!! Anyone you meet here is super nice and welcoming. The trainers are accommodating, understanding and motivating. I would recommend Vitality to anyone in any phase of life and any fitness level - there is truly something for everyone! “ - Liz
