I have always been an active person, so much so I became a personal trainer. But during COVID my fitness really took an unexpected hiatus, so much that the thought of working out became daunting. About a year ago I slowly started getting back into some workouts and then found out I was pregnant and then the workouts trickled to a stop again. I’ve since had our little guy and I’m craving to move again, to feel my body come alive from its dormant state and reenergise all my cells. I want to be the best version of myself as I enter my mum era.

Gemma

I’m a mum of a 2.5 year old curious and adventurous toddler. I’m also 29 weeks pregnant. Before kids I was fit and ALWAYS prioritised exercise for my mental health. My constant reminder that movement made me physically but most importantly mentally strong. I feel like I know what changes I need to make this time around postpartum in (2025). I understand that my priorities are different now (that we have a young family) however I understand that I need to pour back into my own cup so that I can be the best mama to my babies.

With doctors no longer bulk billing, food prices soaring and increased class prices it’s becoming more difficult and costly to prioritise my health! I’m a single 31 year old with a dog, I thought this was goals! However, it’s become so expensive to do it all alone with the rising costs associated with just living. It’s not even a champagne lifestyle with a lemonade budget now. It’s a lemonade lifestyle with what once could have got you bottles of champagne and now will be lucky to get a soda water at the pub!

I have always loved exercise to support my mental health and I really let this slip after having my twins 2.5 years ago. I am feeling it now and know I need to make a change and I cannot wait to start putting myself first sometimes (lol) and being a better me for myself and my family ❤️

Monika

I am excited to get moving again in 2025 after the birth of my second baby (due in March, first baby born in 2023) as I have really not prioritised my health/fitness. This pregnancy has been harder than the last to find time for myself as I have a toddler at home. I have also had more severe pregnancy symptoms which made it difficult to keep up walking during this pregnancy. I am looking forward to get moving post baby as I plan to hopefully run a half-marathon when I return to running.

Tiana

I’m 31 years old, living in Melb and have a 7 month old. I’m wanting to prioritise my health and fitness so I can have the energy and ability to play and run with my baby boy long into the future!

Jess

To get back into routine as well as feeling strong and energised when with my lil one.

Jade

I was pregnant in 2022/23, and didn’t exercise whilst pregnant and until I was about 10 months postpartum. I started running and Kic pilates. I’ve slowed down a bit the last 3 months as my exercise partner (sister) has just moved overseas and my motivation has dropped. My daughter is at a stage where I’m very exhausted. I’m looking to get motivated again to prove I can do this on my own.

Olivia

I’m a full-time working single mother of three that took an unplanned break from exercise and in 2024 was unwell, hospitalised and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I am MORE THAN EVER READY to take back control of my health; physical and mental health. Accountability and community will support this.

Sarah

I had my baby boy via c-section Feb last year, after suffering from extreme exhaustion in pregnancy, a baby that didn’t sleep well for 6 months pp, moving interstate, going back to work etc there’s just been no time for me. This year I made a promise to myself to make me a priority for at least 15-30 mins a day…I want to feel healthy and happy … not only for my little boy but for myself and I know when I have that time my outlook/perspective and ability to work through the tougher times of being a mum is much easier

Stephanie

My motivation for fitness has dropped significantly since having kids. My heart was all about playing football & umpiring but that love has now disappeared. I need to find a new love in fitness. So I am hoping that I will be able to find that, now that I am post pregnancy with my second (literally 4 days postpartum). But also have a clear mindset & have a stable mental health.
