Q: What do I need to do before I start a training program?
A: You will need to obtain permission from your doctor to train with
us. You will also need to provide some information on your
medical history, and exercise history.
Q: Why do I need permission from my doctor before starting my
workouts?
A: It ensures that there is open dialogue between you and your
doctor about any possible physical restrictions, and provides us
with that information, so we can provide you with a safe, effective
workout plan.
Q: Why do I need to provide medical history information?
A: It helps us design a better informed training plan. We can take
into account family conditions such as hypertension, gestational
diabetes, etc.
Q: Do I need to sign a HIPPA form? I seem to sign one anytime I
provide medical information.
A: No. At this time, fitness professionals are not subject to HIPPA
regulations. If this should change, we will provide you with the
necessary forms. However, we will keep all personal and medical
information you provide to us in the strictest confidence.
Q: Do you only provide training for new and expecting moms?
A: No, we can provide training to the general population, but we do
focus specifically on new and expecting moms.
Q: In which areas will you provide in-home training?
A: We are based out of Woburn, MA, and will provide in-home
training in the Metro Boston area. Please contact us to see if your
area is included.
pregnancy has been
associated with a
decrease in postpartum
depression, but only if it
is stress-relieving and
not stress-provoking. For
those who choose to
resume exercise in these
early weeks, the goal of
exercise should be to
help with relaxation,
stress management, and
emotional well-being."
