Back pain really gets in the way of your weight lifting and fitness goals. Meet Bronte! Former client, and now a coach with 4th Trimester Training! Bronte came for coaching because she was wanting to push herself in the gym but every time she did, she would get injured. She felt like she was living under a glass ceiling and could never see the gains and growth that she hoped for because of the pain she felt in the gym, and also daily life. When lifting kids or laundry baskets becomes challenging, how CAN you keep pushing in the gym? This was an issue for Bronte ever since pregnancy, which was about three years prior to her finding me. The problem is universal. Women aren’t given a playbook on how to fix their postpartum dysfunction so they can fully leave it behind. In this episode we talk about how we trained Bronte, what the missing pieces were, and how she rebuilt her strength from the inside out. She is lifting heavier than ever and seeing the results she wanted!

13: Chelsey's Transformation
Chelsey had been referred to a surgeon because of horrible back pain, SI Joint pain, and nerve pain. But is surgery actually the root cause solution??
Chelsey had bulging discs and an excursion on one of them, so her case was very challenging- but something caught my attention when she came to me at 4th Trimester Fitness Academy... She had never been referred to a physical therapist, and had never been taught how to strengthen and train her posture or her postpartum body.
This mom even found herself having to crawl on the floor to assist her kids! Chelsey's transformation is an incredible story. Can you really go from feeling broken- to strong and athletic again? In this episode she dives into her specific challenges, victories, nutrition, and how she got to where she is now living her most athletic, pain free life- all while avoiding surgery!
