MOMDAY is a pregnancy and postpartum fitness app built for exactly where you are. Tell us your due date or delivery date, and your program matches your exact week of pregnancy or stage of postpartum, so you never have to guess what to do. Founded and led by Ella Dove, a mother of two, MOMDAY exists to rewrite the outdated story about what women can and can't do during pregnancy and postpartum. It's not about the mirror. It's about progress: showing up for yourself, wherever you are today. We call it The Strength That Carries. PREGNANCY • A week-by-week program across all three trimesters, based on your due date • New workouts every week as your body changes • A Labor Prep series, added automatically at week 34 and open to join anytime POSTPARTUM • Four levels that build in order: Early Postpartum, Core & Pelvic Floor, Return to Strength and Signature Strong • A starting point set by your delivery date, delivery type and where you are in recovery • Progression by phase, not by the calendar, so you're never rushed • Cesarean-specific programming, plus a dedicated cesarean recovery series TRAIN YOUR WAY • Follow Along: continuous guided video workouts, at home or at the gym • Self-Paced: an exercise list with demo videos, worked through at your own speed • A 30- or 60-minute option and a gym or at-home option on every Self-Paced program, except postpartum Levels 1 and 2, which are built for early recovery • Rep logging, autofill from your last session and exercise swaps when you need them HUNDREDS OF WORKOUTS AND CLASSES • Strength, Mobility, Pain Relief, Yoga, Pilates, HIIT and Meditation classes • Filters for length and body focus, or series you can follow from start to finish • Every program is led by Ella Dove, with classes from a team of women trainers • Education modules for pregnancy and postpartum that you can rewatch anytime from the Today tab MUSIC THAT MOVES WITH YOU • Built-in, ad-free music stations that start with your first workout • Apple Music, or your own music from any app APPLE WATCH AND APPLE HEALTH • A dedicated Apple Watch app that starts a workout on your wrist when you begin a class on your iPhone • Live heart rate and heart-rate zones while you train • Workouts saved to Apple Health that count toward your Activity rings STAY ON TRACK • A calendar where you pick your workout days and drag sessions to reschedule • Daily reminders and weekly streaks that count everything you complete • Logging for walks, runs, swims, rides and other activities • Automatic downloads of your next workouts for offline use • AirPlay to your TV • A native iPad app, so you can train on a bigger screen COMMUNITY • Posts, photos and comments with women who get it • A check-in and a share card at the end of every workout GET STARTED Download MOMDAY on iPhone or iPad and start your free 7-day trial, no payment method required.
