Ready to start a new exercise routine? Start with once a week!

Find out why one workout a week is a great way to build a successful, sustainable and healthy workout routine, especially after having a baby.

Starting a new habit—especially as a parent with a new baby—can feel overwhelming.

The demands of caring for a baby, sleepless nights, and finding time for yourself may leave you questioning how to fit exercise into your life.

We totally get that, because we are mamas too!

The best way to get started with regular exercise, is just to get started! Although we would LOVE to see people exercising 2-3 times each week, it can be hard to maintain that level of consistency when you’re just starting out.

That’s why we love to see our members start with once a week, and here’s why:

It’s manageable & realistic

Setting the goal of one workout a week feels doable. It’s just one hour carved out of your busy schedule—a small, achievable step toward your fitness goals without feeling like an added stressor.

Creates a routine

Habits thrive on consistency. By setting aside the same day and time each week, you create a routine that makes exercise feel like a natural part of your life. This one small commitment can be the foundation for a lifelong habit of prioritizing your health.

Builds accountability

When you attend an in-person workout, you’re showing up not just for yourself but for your community. Knowing there’s a live instructor and other parents expecting you makes it less tempting to skip. You’re more likely to follow through when there’s a connection involved.

Committing to one in-person workout a week might seem small, but it’s the first step in building a strong foundation for your fitness journey. It’s your chance to reconnect with your body, meet other parents, and establish a sustainable habit that benefits both you and your baby.
