Excellent
Love this app! Has been fantastic to keep me motivated through pregnancy and now postpartum. Can be made as challenging as you want by your choice of weights/resistance, but gives you a good structured and safe workout for pregnancy and postpartum. Love the week by week program - as Each week has a number of workouts you can pick based on how you feel or how much spare time you have.

So much help
I was recommended this app by my pelvic floor physio and it has been really great. The exercises are good, love you can pick and choose to suit how you feel or time needs, the Q & As are very informative and I’ve learnt things I didn’t know. Just wish I knew about it with my first 2 babies.
Second time using this program
Such a great app. I used it during both my pregnancies and am now using it again for my second post partum recovery. The pelvic safe work outs during pregnancy made such a difference to my pain, almost gone within two weeks of doing the exercises/stretches daily. The post c section work outs are keeping me moving in a safe way. I recommend this app to all my friends and to all my health care providers!

Amazing quality for any mum or mum to be
This app contains a wealth of knowledge, not to mention the convenience of the exercise options, short classes, no equipment classes, they are built to suit everyone!
I have been using this program since 2021, I have used the postnatal week to week program, the pregnancy week to week program, returning to running and core program. There is such variety and so easy to use!

So great!
I love using the EMP app on my phone, it means I can reposition the screen easily and always see what I’m meant to be doing.
Best post partum exercise app
Love this app. Wish I had found it in pregnancy
Perfect
Really great app, good range of and mix of routines to choose from. Great to know it’s Physio led and safe for pregnancy. The stretching and fascia release routines are amazing!
Great app for pregnancy exercise!
This is my third pregnancy and I am loving this app. I used a different app my first two pregnancies and found it quite boring and repetitive. This app gives so many options depending on how I am feeling and considers and adjusts for things like pelvic girdle and back pain. Thank you Kimmy and Lyz!
Fantastic workout program in pregnancy
I switched my workout to the EMPower program a few months into pregnancy (previously did Pilates classes) and found the classes so fun and great for staying active my entire pregnancy. I’m looking forward to starting the post natal routine now!
Love, love, love EMP!
I LOVE EMP. I used it postnatally after my first baby and it significantly improved my physical recovery and abilities. Now I’m excited to be using it for my 2nd pregnancy and to stay more active this time around with exercises I know are safe and very beneficial.
Would absolutely recommend
This app is a game changer! I wish I had been introduced to it for my first pregnancy, but it has made a world of difference in my awareness and preparation for my second birth. Specifically, it has helped me understand and manage my prolapse with regard to exercise and daily life as I prepare for delivering another baby (something I was quite honestly terrified about). This program is simple, easy to adhere to, and can be tailored to your specific needs. I will be using it for all things pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Grateful for these women and what they bring to the table!!

Fantastic program
I wish I had found his program earlier! After 4 babies I have felt the need to prioritise my postpartum care and this program has been so informative. It was recommended by my women’s physio and provides manageable (and short) exercises to do while baby is sleeping or awake. Highly recommend!
Brilliant
This app helped me so much pre and post birth. Loads of useful information in easy to navigate videos. You can ignore bits that don’t feel right for you. Bite size workouts for when you don’t have a lot of energy or time. Always made me feel more myself and that id achieved something. Practical advice, and positive reassuring tone throughout without feeling patronising. I recommend this as soon as I find out a friend is pregnant.

Very Supportive
This program was recommended to me after my second baby. I wish I had found it while I was pregnant. It is well structured, easy to follow and supportive as a new mum. I love the variety of programs available to help me recover and return to running (with their specific return to run program). Highly recommend this app/program.

So helpful
I can’t recommend the EMP more. I used it both pregnant and postpartum and I can compare it to my first pregnancy where I was nowhere near as fit as I am now. It made such a difference to my mood, daily pain levels and birth experience. It also made finding the time to exercise when you’re lacking a village achievable.

Love this pregnancy hub
I was desperate to find an app that was straight to the point, easy to use and also motivating to use too.
I just started my pelvic pain exercises programs after completing the quiz - they emailed me within 24 hours :)
Very happy so far & looking forward to feeling supporting all the way through to the post partum stage!
Thanks ladies x

Amazing content, highly recommend
My physio suggested EMP when I was 14 weeks pregnant because I wasn’t sure what exercises I could keep doing in my local pilates classes. EMP is amazing! I’ve loved it from the first video. I signed up to a 7 day trial, and then jumped on a 12 month subscription. I love that I can choose short or longer work outs which fit in with my day, and that there is a week-by-week program to follow with my pregnancy. It’s given me so much confidence about what moves are safe, and I’m looking forward to using it postpartum when getting to classes will be tricky. I can’t recommend it enough 🌟

A great app and program
I really enjoyed the EMP while pregnant and the app made it so much easier to use wherever I was. I love the different types of exercise it provides so I could choose depending on my time and energy level. The educational videos were really informative too.
Amazing, a life saver
This app is unbelievable. Since starting it (I’m 10 years postpartum) I have regained so much strength in areas that I didn’t even know existed, which I had lost after having babies and then - especially - having ovaries removed preventatively. I have also regained hope that I will function normally again! Prolapse was really dragging me down and pelvic floor PT wasn’t helping. I’ve since switched pelvic floor PT to another person which has helped, but I would not be where I am now without the app’s exercise and education. I’ve sent the app to several friends that are pregnant and hope they have the wisdom to use it. I wish I had had this when I was pregnant but am grateful for it now.
Also, as exercise programs go, I think it rivals anything else strength-based, barre, etc. that’s available, but it has on top of the rest 1:1 consulting with one of the app developers AND the assurance that the program you’re using is prolapse safe (when marked as prolapse safe). The prolapse safe workouts leave me feeling VERY worked out but also totally fine w/ respect to prolapse. I also love how functional the workouts are. The designers know what your day/night looks like - plenty of hefty lifting and wrangling young ones. Their movements help you build body-wide strength functionally so that you can do everything you need to do to function as a human superpower (we all know mothers are superpowers).
A couple other things I love - unlike the majority of other exercise programs out there, 1. there is no music in the background so you can hear what’s being instructed clearly (if you want music, you can play your own) and 2. there’s no overdone excitement and endless chit chat. It is simply: here is how to do the move, remember to exhale and engage the pelvic floor and abs here, well done. In my experience, exercise programs that distract you from the movements by never stopping talking and playing loud music and shouting over it keep you from concentrating on form, and form/breathing are vital to preventing injury. This app has a calmness to it that appeals to the VERY busy mom who already has plenty of hectic background noise in her life.
I initially imagined I would use this app to get me past the weakened pelvic floor stage and then move on but it’s clear that I can continue using this indefinitely.

My favorite tool
This app is such a game changer! I used it throughout my pregnancy and now postpartum. It helps me stay active even when I have a restless baby attached to me. And the monthly zoom call gives the ability to have one on one chats with the creators of the app to have any questions answered!! This has been such a support for me throughout the crazy journey of motherhood.
