WHY THIS COURSE
The course the fitness industry
has been missing.
Most fitness professionals are underprepared for the most significant physical transition their clients will ever experience. The Bump Wellness course changes that.
1
Evidence-informed, not fear-based
Grounded in ACOG Committee Opinion 804 (2020), the 2019 Canadian Pregnancy Physical Activity Guideline, and the Goom, Donnelly & Brockwell (2019) return-to-running framework. 34 peer-reviewed and consensus references.
2
Scope-clear from the first page
Every chapter ends with a scope-of-practice reminder. You will always know what you can coach, what requires modification, and when to refer.
3
Built for real-world practice
Case studies, intake forms, referral templates, clinical red flag tables, and sample training splits. This is a reference manual you will return to after the exam.
4
One course. Nearly your full recertification.
At 1.9 CECs, this course satisfies nearly the entire XXXX 2-year recertification requirement of 2.0 CECs. The only remaining requirement is your CPR card.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR
Built for certified fitness professionals
who want to do this right.
This course is designed for professionals who already have a foundational education in exercise science and want to expand into one of the fastest-growing and most underserved client populations in fitness.
Personal Trainers
NASM-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, ACE-CPT, or equivalent. Already working with or planning to work with perinatal clients.
Group Fitness Instructors
Yoga, Pilates, barre, and fitness instructors who regularly have pregnant and postpartum clients in class.
Strength Coaches
CSCS, NSCA, and performance-focused coaches whose female athletes become pregnant and postpartum.
Allied Health Professionals
Physical therapists, nurses, and healthcare professionals seeking a fitness-focused perinatal training framework.
Running Coaches
Coaches working with pregnant and postpartum runners who need criteria-based return-to-running guidance.
Corrective Exercise Specialists
Professionals who assess movement and design corrective programs, particularly for pelvic floor and core function.
"Train the client in front of you — not the protocol you memorized."
The Bump Wellness method is built on one standard: every programming decision should be guided by the client's current stage, symptoms, recovery capacity, and goals — not a generic prenatal program applied uniformly. This course teaches you how to think, not just what to do.

BUMP WELLNESS PRENATAL & POSTNATAL FITNESS
SAFE, EFFECTIVE PERSONAL TRAINING
FOR YOUR PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM JOURNEY
Exercising during pregnancy and regaining strength afterward requires more than a generic workout plan—it calls for evidence-based guidance that adapts to your changing body. Bump Wellness personal training programs are developed by certified prenatal and postpartum trainers who adhere to ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) guidelines and, when appropriate, coordinate with your OB-GYN. Whether you want to stay active while expecting, build stamina for labor, or address diastasis recti after birth, every session is tailored to your stage, energy, and comfort level.
Your Journey, Our Expertise
Our personal training focuses on deep core and pelvic floor health, functional movement, and appropriate progressions. Many clients begin with trimester-specific strength and mobility exercises before transitioning to an effective postpartum plan that can start as soon as six weeks after delivery. Others begin later when they feel ready, concentrating on improving posture, restoring balance, and rebuilding core strength.
Our Services
- Progressive prenatal training that evolves throughout your pregnancy
- Postnatal personal training beginning as early as six weeks (with medical clearance)
- Baby-friendly small-group sessions for new moms
- Breathing techniques and relaxation strategies for labor preparation
- Specialized diastasis recti and pelvic-floor rehabilitation
- Flexible training options: In-home, outdoor, or virtual Zoom training, wherever you are located
