In Switzerland, where most of our clients come from, most insurances cover a part of the costs for “Rückbildungskurse” (post-partum recovery course) and the fitnow “Back in Shape” is such a course. So yes! However, there are a few insurance companies (e.g. SWICA) that do not cover the costs since they only accept their own-approved courses. Until today, only 2 of our Swiss-based customers did not receive get reimbursed.

Yes! In fact, in the first week of the program you will find one video explaining exactly this topic: all around training and breastfeeding. There are some tricks that will make it easier for you to handle the logistics as well as your comfort during training.

The post-pregnancy program has been created specifically and especially for moms who just gave birth, and no one else! That means, it is safe to start the program right after birth (literally) since it was designed to fit the needs then. However, the timing is not relevant and it is very personal. You can start right after birth (the first week is only explanation videos) or weeks/months after, even a year after if you need to re-build strength from zero. Our recommendation is that you join the program as soon as it feels right for you after giving birth, ideally before 6 months post-partum.

We use 2 small dumbbells for the workouts of approximately 2kg each (for some exercises). However, depending on your fitness level, you can use more or less weight. The good thing is, you do not really need dumbbells for your workouts, you can use bottles of water (you can re-fill them with sand or water) or even cans! There are several home-made options that you can use to complete the exercises. Here are some 2KG dumbbells I recommend: go to amazon. If you need more weight, you can find heavier dumbbells: 3KG or 5KG. Or even a set with several dumbbells. Ideally, you also have a training mat to make your exercise session more comfortable at home. The one in the link is ideal because it prevents slipping.

Yes, and it is important to be aware of them and discuss with your doctor or midwife. All fitnow programs and workouts are designed generally for expectant mothers and/or recent mothers. However, exercise programs have inherent risks, the degree of which depends on your individual health, condition and fitness. This is why it is important that you consult with your doctor or midwife to understand how the exercises of this program may affect you, your health and your baby. There are contraindications to exercise during pregnancy (e.g. placenta praevia, regular bleeding, shortened cervix, among others) and after childbirth (e.g. pain, heavy bleeding, high degree of diastasis recti, among others) that limit the exercises you can do, their intensity and type.

Both programs, Pregnant & Strong and Back in Shape, have a 7-day money-back guarantee. This ensures that, if you are not happy with the purchase or the program does not meet your expectations (and you let me know within 7 days), you will get the money back. You can also sign up for a trial week before making a purchase to taste the type of training that is awaiting you.

It is just a one-time upfront payment.
