btone & Pregnancy

Stay Strong & Active Your Whole Pregnancy

btone is famous for being a highly effective and safe way to stay active during your pregnancy.

Give yourself the gift of energy and endurance, (thank us later).

Consult your provider about exercise
during your pregnancy

btone is low-impact, full-body, resistance-based strength training, designed to be challenging, but totally modifiable to meet your needs before and after childbirth!

Tell your instructor about your pregnancy, procedure, or recent delivery so we can give you the best experience possible for your stage.

Why is btone the smart option during and after pregnancy?

All components of our signature method support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery:

• Low-impact exercises are gentle on your joints.
• Full body strengthening builds endurance, muscle stability, and helps to fortify and repair your core and pelvic floor.
• Slow movements encourages mindfulness, helps prevent injury, and delivers real results.
• Form-focused classes safely builds strength, stability, and balance.
• Modifications are always available to meet your mood & goals.

btone helps prepare your body for labor and delivery

TONE-ing regularly during pregnancy helps train your body for labor—particularly your entire core, including the abdominal wall and crucial pelvic floor muscles. A strong core helps you when it’s time to deliver, and aids in a swifter recovery. This is true even for planned and unexpected C-sections, having a strong engaged core is a healthy place to start.

Pregnancy, delivery, and parenthood are marathons. We help you train.

Can I start during pregnancy?

The answer is, maybe. In general starting a totally new fitness journey mid pregnancy is not advised. You and your baby’s safety are paramount. Everyone’s situation is different, please reach out to your local btone with any questions about getting started.

I’m a btone regular and now I'm pregnant!

What should I know?

Listen to your body, now more than ever.

Throughout pregnancy, you may experience symptoms that affect your experience, such as nausea, dizziness, lower back discomfort, sciatica, and acid reflux, oh boy!

You might also encounter new challenges with balance, a changing center of gravity, and difficulty with certain positions as your pregnancy progresses.

Ensure your workout is safe and sustainable:

be patient with yourself, and modify as needed.

Your instructor may “deliver” some personalized options:

• To reduce muscle fatigue select a more supportive spring load.
• For assistance with balance add an extra yellow spring for lightweight leg work.
• To avoid excess strain and hyper-mobility reduce your range of motion, or adjust your body position.

As your pregnancy progresses, don’t hesitate to adjust or ask the instructor for an alternative exercise.

What about postpartum recovery?

However your delivery goes, we will be here for your 4th trimester postpartum journey!

Once you are medically cleared to get moving again, start slow and always tell your instructor so we can support your recovery.
