You just grew a human being. Your body did something extraordinary. And now — between the feedings, the sleepless nights, and the endless laundry — you're wondering when you'll feel like yourself again.
If that resonates, you're not alone. Most gym programs aren't designed for postpartum recovery. That's exactly why we created Lean Mommy at Fit In 42 — a program specifically built for new moms in La Quinta and Palm Springs who are ready to reclaim their strength, energy, and confidence. It's one of several personal training programs for women we offer at our studios.
Why Standard Gym Programs Don't Work for New Moms
Most fitness programs ignore postpartum realities: diastasis recti (abdominal separation), weakened pelvic floor muscles, hormonal shifts affecting mood and metabolism, and the exhaustion of caring for a newborn. Jumping into a standard HIIT class too soon can actually make things worse.
What the Lean Mommy Program Looks Like
Core Rehabilitation First
Before we add intensity, we rebuild your foundation. Our trainers assess for diastasis recti and design exercises that safely close the abdominal gap while strengthening your core from the inside out.
Progressive Strength Building
Once your core foundation is solid, we progressively add strength training. Every exercise is scalable, and coaches modify in real time — because with a newborn, no two days are the same.
Community of Moms Who Get It
You're training alongside other moms who understand the challenges, the guilt, and the exhaustion. Our Lean Mommy members become each other's support system beyond the gym.
Flexible Scheduling
Sessions at both our La Quinta and Palm Springs studios are scheduled at times that work for moms.
When to Start After Giving Birth
Vaginal delivery: Most doctors clear light exercise at 6 weeks postpartum. We recommend OB/GYN clearance before starting.
C-section: Recovery typically requires 8-12 weeks. Our trainers are experienced in C-section recovery modifications.
Important: There's no rush. Whether you start at 3 months or 12 months postpartum, Lean Mommy meets you where you are.
What Moms Are Saying
"After three kids, I didn't recognize my body anymore. Lean Mommy finally felt like something designed for ME. I've lost 28 pounds and dropped 4 dress sizes." — Jennifer, La Quinta member since 2023
"I was terrified to start after my C-section. The trainers were so careful with my recovery. Six months later, I'm stronger than before pregnancy." — Sarah, Palm Springs member since 2024
Getting Past Mom Guilt
Many new moms feel guilty about taking time for themselves. Here's the truth: a healthier, stronger, more energized mom is a better mom. You're modeling healthy habits for your children, giving yourself energy to be present, and protecting your mental health. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish — it's essential.
