We’re Kathy & Holly - athletes who have grown and birthed a total of 6 children.
We KNOW how much scary, incomplete, and contradictory information is out there about training in pregnancy, postpartum, and through menopause. We know the feelings of:
FEAR of exercising after a diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse or diastasis;
RELUCTANCE to participate in activities for fear you’ll leak;
FRUSTRATION when previous athletic activities trigger symptom or pain
CONFUSION over who to trust and where to get reliable information.
Our own aches, pains, and injuries through pregnancy and motherhood led us to seek out the most up-to-date information on training our cores (including pelvic floors) for a lifetime of athleticism.
The best part? These strategies and training approaches are relevant forever. We continue to apply them for ourselves as we navigate perimenopause, and share them with clients of all ages to help them become their strongest, pain-free, and and least leaky selves.
Still not sure?
We’d love to see you in class IF you have (or had) a uterus AND:
Are pregnant or postpartum; OR
Are in perimenopause or menopause and navigating pelvic floor symptoms/diagnoses; OR
Are struggling with urinary or fecal incontinence, back or hip pain, or feelings of pain/pressure in your pelvic floor; OR
Are brand new to strength training and want to learn solid basic techniques before joining Circuit45 class.
Try before you buy: Check out a 20 min mini class from Kathy, including exploratory breath work plus foundational strength moves.

Yes. We will work in a contained portion of the studio, and you’re welcome to set up a small playmat or a few toys for your child. Changing diapers/feeding are fine during class. There are also couches and WiFi for older kids. However, please do note that we do not have a child-minding service, so you will be responsible for your child.

Everyone has feet, a pelvic floor, and shoulders. This class will help you learn how to use them all effectively.

Due to the specific and sometimes intimate nature of topics discussed, for the comfort of all participants, we are limiting this class to uterus owners and former uterus owners.
We can explore similar topics around pelvic floor, pressure management, hernias, and prostate symptoms in a 1:1 training session for anyone else. Our other classes are open to participants of all genders.
