It’s so amazing to feel supported not only by the other amazing people here, but by all the coaches! ### 5/5 — The only app that has worked *2026-08-11, version 2.0.14* I have tried many “plans” and workouts to get my diastis recti down from a 4 finger gap and Natal is the ONLY one that is affordable with results!!! Like going to a PT without leaving my home or paying a ton! Seeing the results makes me want to continue, thank you so much for this app and everyone helping in it! ### 5/5 — The absolute BEST *2026-08-10, version 2.0.14* I love this app so much, especially for pregnancy. Nancy has helped me continue to achieve my goal of consistent daily movement and strength workouts through my pregnancy. Second trimester challenge!! ✅ ### 5/5 — Best postpartum app ever! *2026-08-10, version 2.0.14* The follow along prompts are incredibly helpful! I can’t believe I am more in tune with my body and understand my muscles more based off of instruction. I started this program because I was working out regularly and felt like I was getting weaker instead of stronger. Now I can tell the difference in my everyday and during workouts. I feel stronger and am in less pain than before I had a baby! This program will be a push present I give to all of my friends. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-10, version 2.0.14* Perfect app to keep active during pregnancy and optimize my core function for postpartum! ### 5/5 — Very informative *2026-08-10, version 2.0.14* I really love how descriptive and straightforward every move is while I’m working. The cues are great and are helpful for anywhere you are in your journey. ### 5/5 — Perfect for postpartum moms! *2026-08-07, version 2.0.14* I was having a really hard time losing any pregnancy/postpartum weight. I did some research that instead of focusing so much on losing weight, it was really important to focus on strengthening pelvic floor and that’s exactly what Natal teaches! I saw a huge difference in such a short amount of time to really kick-off my weight loss. And it is a huge bonus to get access to recipes as well, perfect for someone who doesn’t know how to start. ### 5/5 — The results are night and day *2026-08-04, version 2.0.14* I have been doing this app for 14 weeks- and I am in awe of the difference. First pregnancy did pure barre and this pregnancy did this. I feel so strong and ready for this pregnancy. I also look strong and really good hahah. Didn’t think it was possible lol ### 5/5 — Best app for pregnancy and postpartum! *2026-08-03, version 2.0.14* This is the best app for pregnancy and postpartum!! I found ab rehab when I was postpartum with my first and I just wish I found it sooner! My pelvic floor therapist was shocked that I didn’t have any Diastasis Recti when she assessed me (I had a big baby) and she asked me what I had been doing. I immediately showed her the app. I’m now pregnant with my second and this app has kept me consistent in working out every single day. I’m almost 30 weeks now and still feeling strong and mobile unlike with my first. The labor prep has made me so confident for labor and delivery this time around too. Just do it you won’t regret it! ### 5/5 — Great program! *2026-08-01, version 2.0.14* I started the “ab challenge” at 3 weeks postpartum. Prior to this, I was an avid gym-goer and attended a functional fitness gym about 5 days/week. It was really hard for me to force myself to slow down after giving birth but this program helped me do something safe and productive. It felt great to know that I was making strides to get back to the gym and make sure my body was more prepared. I’m very pleased with my results after the challenge and I’m excited to continue and see even more progress! ### 5/5 — Great for postpartum early progress *2026-08-01* Didn’t realize it also comes with meal plans suitable for breastfeeding! I was able to protect my supply while slimming down and it has great pelvic work for early postpartum **Developer response:** We love this! It is always great to be pleasantly surprised and we are so happy that our app did that for you! We poured so much into this app to give you all the resources you need to heal in every way. Feeling more connected to your pelvic floor and overall better in your body is the best and there is more to come. Keep going! ### 5/5 — Great & Effective Program! *2026-07-27, version 2.0.14* This is the best programming I’ve found to restore pelvic floor and core stability and strength after child birth. Even two years after having a baby! The instructor is informative and helps you understand what’s going on and how to do things effectively. Highly recommend this program! ### 5/5 — BEST Program I have ever done *2026-07-27, version 2.0.14* This is the BEST fitness program I have ever done. I cannot believe the results in the little amount of time that has already gone by. The breathing techniques work. The slow-paced workouts in the beginning work. The progression works. This is fantastic, with fantastic results and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you ladies for such an AMAZING program and such fabulous support! ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-07-27, version 2.0.14* I have truly enjoyed this programs and reconnecting with my core after my baby! I can’t wait to continue using this to see my progress! ### 4/5 — Love it, one request *2026-07-23, version 2.0.14* Love the workouts. Would be nice to see a section for education where they describe terminology used during programming like TAs. Still recommend the app highly as it’s easy to use ### 5/5 — Best postpartum program *2026-07-22, version 2.0.14* I’ve done at least 3 different fitness programs designed for postpartum. While I benefited from all of them, I found this one to hands down be the best from layout, app design, ease of instruction, depth and breadth of content. Bravo. ### 5/5 — I’m impressed *2026-07-21, version 2.0.14* I’ve seen physical changes since starting ab rehab but even more I feel better and have less pain. They’re easy to work through and I appreciate not having to do more than start each video everyday. ### 5/5 — Great program! *2026-07-19, version 2.0.13* As a mom of 5, I have loved that the program includes mobilization and stretching routines alongside the core work! I’ve also enjoyed how much I’ve learned about my body. I’ve done 4 weeks, and am excited and encouraged to continue along! ### 5/5 — First pelvic floor/core program that clicked for me! *2026-07-19, version 2.0.13* I love this program! It’s so well explained and the format is easy to follow. Within the first couple of weeks I could feel my core kicking on during my day; it made me realize how offline it had been not just before having babies, but my whole life as well. ### 4/5 — Great content slightly frustrating format *2026-07-15, version 2.0.13* The good so far I have been using for a month and I like the content. I feel stronger and I feel like my core is more connected. The reason for a star off is I moved over here from ladder. Although the content is good I find myself missing the format there. I miss being able to track individual numbers and weights, these are mostly videos that you watch and follow along but there is no place to keep track of your weight and doesn’t calculate or suggest progressive overloads for you. This is a small thing I just write it in a notebook but its the thing I wish they had. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to follow app *2026-06-06, version 2.0.12* App is beyond difficult to follow and see what is scheduled for the day. As a mom knowing how much time you need to carve out is essential for success. There’s no way to figure that out. ### 1/5 — Cannot open *2026-06-05, version 2.0.11* New ‘bug fix’ Sends back to App Store for update There’s no update… Click ‘open’ button in App Store App says update No other option available to open Uninstalled, reinstalled. Will open, but videos won’t load. Still in trial…is this normal?!? ### 1/5 — App glitches *2026-02-09* This app glitches every 2 second it’s supper annoying. Fix this or give me my money back **Developer response:** We are so sorry you're experiencing this! This is not normal behavior. We'd love to troubleshoot this more with you and our IT team to understand what is occurring. Our app is designed to stream video seamlessly for easy viewing. We would love for you to reach out to customer service. Under your profile inside your app you can submit a help desk ticket under "Help Center". Please contact us so we can resolve this issue. We are here for you! ### 1/5 — Cumbersome *2026-01-25, version 2.0.1* Not a very streamlined app and there’s nothing groundbreaking that requires such a high paywall. Have found better workouts for free on YouTube. Wish I had canceled during my free trial ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money *2025-09-24, version 1.8.4* Update: still awful with no way to get a refund The exercises are hard to follow (and I’m someone with a nursing/health/exercise background). They speak too fast, and descriptions of movements are awful. I tried contacting customer service, with no help. I wish I could get my money back, because it was certainly wasted on this app. I wanted it to be good, but it was just disappointing. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money *2025-09-11, version 1.8.3* The exercises are hard to follow (and I’m someone with a nursing/health/exercise background). They speak too fast, and descriptions of movements are awful. I tried contacting customer service, with no help. I wish I could get my money back, because it was certainly wasted on this app. I wanted it to be good, but it was just disappointing. ### 1/5 — This is for everyone *2025-09-09, version 1.8.3* You must already have foundational core strength to do this. This is for much more advanced people. This also goes very very fast. Do not recommend for mamas looking to rebuild core from scratch ### 1/5 — Have to pay for everything *2025-06-06, version 1.6.6* I wouldn’t get this app, you have to pay for every workout and it makes you do a trial. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2025-05-16, version 1.6.5* I just downloaded and signed up. When I tried to reopen the app, the Natal opening title flashes and won’t actually open the app. Good thing I was able to cancel the app purchase through Apple. ### 1/5 — Eh, no. *2025-05-15, version 1.6.5* If you know to bloom your cl:toris then this app is for you. If you are me and just need something functional and straightforward to help with post partum recovery then skip this. This is 115$, YouTube is free. I’ve requested a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-31, version 2.0.18* Natal has helped tremendously. I’ve had serval injuries returning back to working out this postpartum journey and joining natal after a year postpartum was the best decision I could make. ### 5/5 — Best postpartum app ever made *2026-08-30, version 2.0.18* I have been using ab rehab and natal for years now. The level of detail and support is by far the best I have seen in this industry and I have gone through a lot of programs and trainers. I love how everything is with moms in mind. This app makes it easy to get a GREAT 30 min workout and take care of yourself. I can not recommend this app enough!!! ### 5/5 — Great work outs *2026-08-29, version 2.0.18* I really liked the certain exercises throughout the program. ### 5/5 — Perfect for every stage of postpartum *2026-08-25, version 2.0.17* I began with this app when I was newly postpartum with a c-section and continue to use it a year and a half later. It has workouts that meet you at your level, the variety is extensive, and the meal plans have helped me lose weight, gain energy, and feel more like myself again. The app keeps track of your progress. It’s simple to use and I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — 3 kids in and I finally feel like I’m going somewhere with my core repair! *2026-08-15, version 2.0.17* Better than the pelvic floor therapy I did! This keeps me on track, I feel supported, my questions never go unanswered, and I’m actually seeing results. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-13, version 2.0.14* This app has been great for helping me reconnect to my core after a c section! ### 5/5 — Just Pay For It *2026-08-12, version 2.0.14* I hate paying for fitness apps. They always disappoint. This one is well worth the money-even 10 years post partum! ### 5/5 — This is the ONLY app you need! *2026-08-12* It has taken me a long time to make it through post second pregnancy and although I might be embarrassed with my timing and progression these coaches are stellar!! They boost my confidence after each conversation. They reply to me within 24 hours. And they tell me to keep going! The coaching you get in this program is worth more money than you pay. I recommend this program to everybody! Sensational! I know you wanna know about my lower belly pooch as well… it is flattening. I am floored many of my problems (low back pain, shoulder blade pain, low belly pooch) have been relieved after posture correction and proper muscle engagement. I will be a lifer with this app! Bravo!! **Developer response:** OMG this is the best ever! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Feeling better in your body is such a HUGE win. And since everything is connected, once you address one factor, it starts to spill over into another and another. So happy this is happening for you and that your low back pain, shoulder blade pain, belly pooch and more are all better. This is the power of corrective exercise and all of the years of experience we have poured into this app. We have loved supporting you on this journey and you are such an inspiration. Keep up the fantastic job and we are rooting for you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-12, version 2.0.14* Has been really great learning to engage and utilize my deep core muscles and pelvic floor again after my third baby. Love the exercises and mobility work, the coaches are really great! ### 5/5 — Should have done it sooner *2026-08-11, version 2.0.14* I was a D3 college athlete and spent my 20s & early 30s going to hot yoga, HIT, spinning, Pilates, strength training, running outside, etc. I was so thrilled to get pregnant but hearing that I shouldn’t do many of the workouts I was used to doing pre-pregnancy was devastating! That’s where Natal stepped in - female instructors, who have been where I am now, coaching me through pregnancy-safe workouts. Once I downloaded this app at 16 weeks pregnant, I felt so much better. Even just three workouts a week helped keep my energy levels up and made me feel like myself again. The workouts and cues are geared toward pregnancy and I have only experienced positive outcomes so far using this app. Highly recommend.
