Our programs are designed to be completed at home with minimal equipment. You will need:

• A mini band

• Longer Resistance Band

• Dumbells or Kettlebells, ideally, you will have 1-2 weights in each of these ranges:

  • Light (5-10 lbs)

  • Medium (15-25 lbs)

  • Heavy (25-40 lbs)

• Nice to have (but not required, you can use household items): bench, stable step/stool, exercise ball.

Using the 123+R system, you can customize your workout to fit your time and energy needs each day. A level 1 workout will take you between 5-10 minutes. Level 2 will be about 30 minutes and Level 3 will be 35-45 minutes.

We’ve designed these workouts for busy women and mothers, so if you are interrupted, you can easily pick it right back up and finish the workout. We build in rest periods where you can wipe a bum or serve a snack and then get right back into it.

Yup. Pregnancy, postpartum or peri/menopause can bring a lot of unwanted change to your pelvic floor and core, but it definitely doesn’t mean you are weak or broken. We give cues and suggestions in our videos so that you can move without pain, pressure or peeing. Stuck? Just shoot us a message inside the app and we will give you a strategy to make it work for your body.

Never! You are welcome here whether you’ve never had children or if your children are 2, 5, or 30+. You can get started now with just a few workouts a week and feel the difference in your core right away.

Not for us. You are welcome to take those photos for yourself, if you find that motivating. We keep our focus on how your body feels, your energy levels, how strong your core is getting and consistently fitting your workouts into your busy life.

Guess what? You will. You can count on it. Life will get crazy and there will be days where you are barely keeping up. We’ve built rest and recovery right into our 123+R programs so that you can still “check” them off in the app when rest is the most productive thing for your fitness. Your workouts can be completed on any day of the week, so you can be flexible and adjust when needed.

We keep our small groups “cohort” style, which means the group stays the same for every 3 month round. This is why some amazing friendships have grown out of our online Zoom classes.

But we get it, sometimes you will need to miss class and we have a very flexible make-up class policy. If we have an open spot in another class that week, it’s yours.

We know very well the exhaustion and tired achy feelings of pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. And still, we would really encourage you to start the program now because you will be preparing your body for a smoother postpartum recovery.

Our programs are customized for your specific phase of pregnancy, you can trust that your workouts are safe and effective for you, right now.

Many of our members tell us their Core Love workouts were the only thing that felt good on their bodies in that last month of pregnancy- even better than walking!

All of our clients have access to The Postpartum Plan during the 4th trimester, your first 3 months post birth. This is a collaboration between Core Love and Mandy Renfrew-Kuncio, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and Birth Doula of Nurturance Health.

The Postpartum Plan walks you through the first 3 months postpartum (starting on day 1!) with breathing and core exercises, tips on healing stitches and easy recipes to speed up your healing. No more going down the google rabbit hole at 3 am!

With bite-sized videos and 1 page checklists, the Postpartum Plan makes it quick and easy to get the support you need as you heal and get ready to return to exercise.

Once you’ve had clearance from a doctor, you can begin building back with full body workouts customized for your postpartum body.

Surgery is a good option for some people. Other times, a well designed exercise program can replace the need for surgery. Whether you are considering a surgery or recovering from one, we will help you strengthen your pelvic floor so that you can feel strong and trust your body again. This may require some more individualized coaching, so if you are currently considering surgery, please contact us HERE. We will let you know honestly if we can help and which program will be the best fit.

It can be scary to put money on the line, especially when it comes to our own self care. If you try the program for 2 weeks and decide it really isn’t what you need right now, we will give you a 100% refund.

Absolutely. One of the best things about strength training is that it can be adjusted easily based on your experience, strength level, time available and energy to put into your workout. For many of our members, Core Love was their first experience with strength training and they have been going strong for 3 + years!
