We've had quite a few pregnancy announcements from our clients at The Cocoon Training Facility, so we wanted to take a moment to discuss the topic of training during pregnancy! Strength training while pregnant is not only okay, but it can be incredibly beneficial for both you and baby. Many expecting moms worry about whether lifting weights or engaging in strength-based exercises is safe during pregnancy, but with the right approach and some professional guidance, it's a great way to stay fit and healthy.

Benefits of Strength Trining During Pregnancy-

  1. Improved Posture and Reduced Back Pain: As your baby bump grows, it can put additional strain on your lower back. Strengthening your core and back muscles helps maintain better posture and reduce back pain.

  2. Increased Stamina and Energy: Pregnancy can be exhausting, but regular strength training can boost your energy levels and help you build stamina, making daily activities easier.

  3. Preparation for Labor: Strength training can help prepare your body for the physical demands of labor and delivery, potentially leading to a smoother birthing experience.

Guidelines for Safe Strength Training-

  • Consult Your Doctor: Before starting or continuing any exercise regimen, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it's safe for your specific pregnancy.

  • Focus on Form: Proper form is crucial to prevent injury. Our trainers have experience with prenatal fitness and are here to help make adjustment and provide alternatives for you!  

  • Listen to Your Body: Pregnancy is not the time to push yourself to the limit. If something feels uncomfortable or painful, stop immediately.

With the right precautions and professional guidance, strength training is completely okay to do while your pregnant. We'd love to be a part of your journey to a happier & healthier you, feel free to reach out to us with further questions!

TRANSFORMATION IS POSSIBLE

I’ll start by saying that I’ve worked out on my own for 15 years, and never saw the need for a personal trainer. After 12 months of working out with a highly detailed and methodical weight plan, I added strength and size at a rate that wouldn’t have been possible on my own. The owners are amazing and incredibly personable, and would highly recommend for anyone who’s serious about achieving their goals.

As someone who spent the majority of her adult life intimidated and terrified of the gym, I can personally attest to the warmth, hospitality and educational qualities I experienced at the Cocoon. I began training with Deanna in 2021 and to say that her and her team have helped transform not only my fitness and health but my life, would be a vast understatement. I can now confidently workout on my own (even helping others) with the knowledge I've learned and that has only further motivated me. Walking into each session, regardless of who is training and what day it is, you're greeted with a warm welcome from everyone. I am constantly asked how I made this transformation and I immediately point them to the Cocoon because I could not recommend it more! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, the entire team is amazing and is there to help you towards whatever goal you have!

I’ve been training with Deanna and Dennis for over 2 years and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my health and well-being. Not only have I gotten in the best shape of my life, but I feel a sense of belonging and community in this space as well. This isn’t just a gym, it’s a family, full of people who genuinely want to see you at your best. Thank you Deanna and Dennis for creating such a magical place!
