Just what I needed!
I’ve battled low back & hip pain for years. Yearly getting knocked down with a bundling disc. I needed to scale back with a plan to progress forward. It’s been great to focus on breath work and mobility while building strength and power!
Loving this app!
Coming from a strong fitness background I was hesitant to go back and build a proper foundation after having a baby but I have to say the persistent aches and pains I was having when getting back into fitness post baby have decreased or been eliminated after going through foundations. I have to give Carolyn the biggest praise for making such a well rounded program that really works to build and sustain strength through all levels. Don’t hesitate to do her program, you won’t be disappointed!

So glad I did it!

Love this Program!
I have done everything from pelvic floor therapy to traditional physical therapy to performance training under the guidance of a DPT. While all were helpful, none quite gave me everything I needed as a momma of 5 with pelvic floor tightness and the desire to lift heavy and be active. That’s until I found Connect! This program has connected all the dots for me - giving me a strong base in foundations and working up to heavy lifts while continuing to emphasize the basics - keeping the pelvic floor from becoming too tight, maintaining the stack, and breathing properly. I am so grateful I found this program and I recommend it to everyone!

Exactly what I needed
I struggled with pelvic floor issues for the last eight years since the birth of my first child. I struggled with keeping the right amount of pressure in my abdomen, diastasis recti, small belly button hernia etc. As a very fit and active person, I was getting more and more discouraged because the more I worked out, the more my abdomen/pelvic floor seemed to fall apart. I eventually started traditional Pelvic Floor Therapy but received little education and zero improvement. I've been doing this program about three months now and it has changed my life! Carolyn spent a lot of time upfront on education which helped me understand the big picture and what I was aiming for. The exercises are so perfect and yet incremental so there are no big leaps to the next progression. 1000% I would buy this program again. And there are so many advanced workouts that I haven't even gotten to yet. Thank you Caroline for the work you do. It changed my life!

Great workouts
Love the program
The missing link
I was lucky enough to find a coach who taught me the fundamentals of prolapse (grade 2) management- the breathwork, core work, hamstrings, that whole shebang.
But I needed something to progress from. Before childbirth I went to the gym 5 days a week and I needed to know how to combine my rehab with my future goals of strength training.
With this app I have managed to get back into working out without the return of my prolapse symptoms.
It is very slow and steady and starts you with the basics but I truly feel that the slow pace was necessary. With any physical injury if you jump back in too hard, things end up taking longer than if you never jumped at all.
But if you stick to the program you will progress.

Amazing!!
I’m a PT myself who has struggled with leakage since having my 2 kids and have found the foundation such an amazing tool! I am loving the workouts and excited to continue to progress and learn!!
The best workout app
Truly the best workouts I’ve ever done. I have learned so much from this app
Absolutely phenomenal
Very educational and easy to follow along
I’m a new person!
When I started this program, I was having back pain, leg, pain, leaking, and prolapse. They have worked out for years, lifting pretty heavy, so it was hard to go back to basics, but boy was it worth it. I feel like a new person now that I have learned how to breathe properly and where pressure should be going during each move. I was so hesitant to start this program thinking I would lose all of my strength apart from day one you work things that you never felt because you are now breathing properly. I am so happy that I bought this program and have no more back pain, and barely any leaking. I can’t wait to keep progressing and wait and move along with her other programs. Thank you so much for making this!

Changed my life!
I’ve been dealing with chronic neck pain, inability to gain a butt, always had that lower pooch, and I was working out 5x/week. After having a baby, these symptoms intensified and I had the addition of constipation, peeing with lifting, and heaviness down below. Being a physical therapist myself, I knew I was missing something. I found Caroline’s program and I thought I’d finally do something for myself and not only has it changed my symptoms, but I’ve incorporated this into my own practice! I’m teaching my colleagues these techniques, and it’s motivated me to now continue my learning to become a pelvic floor physical therapist! Thank you thank you thank you!

Start now!
So much great information and instruction! I’m mid -way through the beginner phase and I am already seeing improvement. Wish I had started it sooner.
Every woman should subscribe
After 2 kids and getting back to exercise nothing was clicking. I just couldn’t find my physical rhythm when working out. This was the answer. Can’t say enough.
Finally a complete pelvic floor course
I have had many issues with my pelvic floor and core after having 2 kids. I have seen several pelvic floor physical therapists, but they only treated one part of the issue and the pain and injuries continued to progress. This course has taught me how to rebuild my pelvic floor and core while properly aligning my body starting from my feet all the way to my head and neck.
The sessions are very thorough and sometimes a bit boring, but it truly is worth it!

Really misses the mark
This app has a lot of potential but I think is deficient for a variety of reasons.
1. Knowing which program to go between isn’t well explained, as another reviewer noted. It’s just way too much, really poorly organized, and not easy to search or filter for what you need.
2. This may seem trivial, but the buzzer that goes off when timers go off is really abrupt/loud/grating and removes me from my concentration.
3. I don’t think it’s easy to find exercises or programs for rib flare.
4. Subtitles are either non existent or hard to find on the app.
5. I had a lot of issues with the videos. If I skipped ten seconds either because I missed something or wanted to move forward, the video would pause but the audio would continue. This happened at least 20 times.
6. I think that for someone who purports to care about women’s health, the creator of this app supports some pretty abhorrent people who hate women (like Charlie Kirk, who thought we shouldn’t even have jobs!)
I’d recommend something like Get Mom Strong if you want a streamlined and great app.

My only platform now!
I fractured my pelvis in a bike accident and was in chronic pain for a year before finding this program as a solution. It truly is the thing that got me back to being pain free AND is now what has made me stronger than I was before the accident. I’m lifting big heavy weight now, doing things I never thought I could like unassisted pull ups, all while she coaches to maintain mobility and pelvic floor function. This is the only app I’ve used for fitness for almost 2 years now!

What I needed
Haven’t found any other program that is as good at incremental progression as this program.
Great workouts for all levels
Advanced weight trainer here, the programs in here are fantastic and great for keeping you focused and moving through your training with proper movement patterns with a great focus on rib cage mobility, breathing, and pelvic floor.
The best app for women
I had been struggling with rib cage and pelvic floor issues for 3 years. I’d seen 3 different pelvic PTs and multiple regular PTs and it wasn’t until my last very specialized pelvic PT that I learned they were related. She suggested Caroline Packard’s app and IG page and it has been LIFE CHANGING! I am finally seeing major progress in my core, pelvic floor and overall strength gains. Caroline really knows her stuff and explains everything so well. This is the first time I’ve felt strong and not just fit. Thank you Caroline!
