Hit play to hear about the impact you can make in women's lives.

Pregnancy and postpartum can be incredibly challenging for women.

But despite the fact that 85% of women have babies...

And 75% of health and fitness clients are women...

Pre- & postnatal women are mostly ignored by the health and fitness industry.

You and I both know - that's not right.

Women deserve better.

That's why GGS pulled together 21 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification.

After enrolling, you'll learn how to help yourself and other women manage issues like:

  • Diastasis recti
  • ​Pregnancy weight gain
  • ​Pelvic floor & pelvic health
  • ​Incontinence (leaking urine)
  • ​Hormone issues
  • ​Pelvic organ prolapse (POP)
  • ​Exercising safely during pregnancy
  • ​Returning to exercise safely postpartum
  • ​Postpartum body image struggles
  • ​C-section recovery
  • ​Fatigue and low energy
  • ​Strength and muscle loss
  • ​Supplement recommendations
  • ​Postpartum depression
  • Morning sickness and heartburn
  • ​And so much more (all within your scope of practice!)

You can become the go-to expert for pre- & postnatal women.

In an industry where research-backed, pre- & postnatal specific health and fitness information is hard to come by, YOU can be a beacon of hope.

You can help women understand why their bodies are changing, navigate difficult pregnancy challenges, and empower them to thrive.

You can become the rare coach who can safely, effectively, and confidently coach and train pre- and postnatal women.

Learn from 21 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study
Molly Galbraith,
WOMAN-IN-CHARGE AT GIRLS GONE STRONG
CREATOR OF THE GGS ACADEMY
"When I first started in the fitness industry 19 years ago, there was very little pregnancy-specific coaching and training education available.

What was available was outdated, not evidence-based, or minimized the challenges that many women face during pregnancy and postpartum.

Given that 85% of all women have a baby at some point in their lives—that's not OK.

Women deserve better.

So we pulled together 21 trailblazing women from 12 fields of study to create this industry-changing Certification.

After enrolling, you'll learn exactly how to help pre- & postnatal women stay safe, healthy, and strong.

“As a developer of this Certification, I’m excited to be part of helping health and fitness professionals bring women’s coaching into the 21st century with this truly timely, progressive, and empowering approach.

The majority of people who hire a coach, trainer, or nutrition professional are women. 

Yet to date, few coaching organizations have truly met women’s diverse needs — until now.”

“We created this Certification to help any professional — of any discipline — who works with women.

You're going to walk away with knowledge and skills that change lives.

“This Certification has set a new standard. 

Not only for our industry — but for the millions of women who will now have access to the care and support they deserve in their pre- and postnatal stages.

I encourage anyone who works with women to tap into the genius inside — and start changing the lives of your clients today.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Final Note
Women make up 67–75% of all people who hire a coach, trainer, or nutrition professional. 

What’s more, 85% of women will have a baby at some point in their life.

More women than ever want to eat and exercise in a way that keeps them safe, healthy, and strong during pregnancy and postpartum. 

And yet — pre- and postnatal-specific health, fitness, and nutrition topics are rarely covered in Certs. 🤔⁠

Spoiler alert: a paragraph about heart rate and relaxin' ain't gonna cut it. 🙄⁠

When you become a Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach you’ll get everything you need to safely and effectively coach and train women during the entire pregnancy and postpartum experience (within your scope of practice).

By the time you graduate, you’ll feel qualified to write expert training programs customized for each trimester and every stage of postpartum recovery.

You’ll also know how to coach pre- and postnatal-specific nutrition, and use women-specific behavior change psychology to empower pregnant and postpartum women to have healthier, stronger, more confident pregnancies and postpartum experiences.

Girls Gone Strong is the world leader in evidence-based, interdisciplinary, body-positive women’s coaching & training education.

We invite you to join us in our mission of raising the standard of coaching care for pre- & postnatal women in the health & fitness industry.
