CORE REHAB STORIES
See how women have changed their lives through Core Rehab!
AMANDA'S STORY
I feel like I owe it to this program to give a review in my own words, after I realized its all I talk about when people bring up my recovery since having twin boys. At 5'2", my stomach grew in ways I never felt possible when I was pregnant last year with 2. I delivered via c-section at 36 weeks & was left with a 5 finger width diastasis gap and umbilical hernia at 8 weeks postpartum. I was told by my OB that I would need surgery to correct my damage.
I started the Core Rehab program at 8 weeks postpartum and was consistent with the program every week for 6 consecutive months. There were definitely moments when I doubted any change. I even finished 3 phases and then started all over again because I felt as if I was losing connection. But within 4 months it clicked, and I began to notice dramatic change. Month after month, my relaxed stomach was getting smaller and smaller. I went from trying a plank at 2 months postpartum and having my abs hurt SO bad that I wanted to cry to now planking for a minute. My diastasis is at 1.5-2 finger widths and is considered functional & healed. I would have simply laughed at you if you told me I could get this far without surgery a year ago.
I grew up a dancer & have been a fitness enthusiast almost my entire life. I was petrified at what a twin pregnancy would do to my body. My recover is 100% attributed to Core Rehab. I was given exact instruction on what to do, and I put my entire faith into the program, and it worked! Yes, I do other workouts now, and those workouts have allowed me to tone up and gain muscle, but I wouldn’t have been able to complete any of my current workouts if I hadn’t healed my core first. To this day, I still do Core Rehab when I feel like I need to focus on the basics.
Bottom line - trust the process and trust the program! Because of it, I’m able to have the best of both worlds; my two beautiful boys & my strong core back. AND I no longer look pregnant! Thank you, Erica for creating a program specifically for mommas to feel their best again. I’m forever thankful for you!

"Moms, I'm 9 weeks postpartum + my testimony is this program is legit the best out there. I have no ab separation. My doula was amazed on how strong my abs are!"

“I am so happy with my core connection, my muscles feel solid when I am going through my workouts. I’ve gone from a 3 ½ finger-width diastasis separation to just 2! On top of that my running has been steadily improving as my breath comes easier and I am running faster than ever!”

I highly recommend this program! I'm only 1/3 through it + already feel great results. The fact that Erica is knowledgable and passionate about helping women build their CORE strength back so that we can feel and BE health and strong again has been invaluable to me.
HOLLY'S STORY
"At the 6-week mark postpartum, I started postnatal Pilates in my neighborhood. I also started regular stroller walks and very quickly my pregnancy weight just fell off. But I had also lost any previous muscle mass + strength, my posture was terrible and I definitely had a mummy tummy!
As an exercise physiologist, I was seeking safe and effective exercise programs that could include my daughter and give me the fitness outlet I was missing. I tried other local mom and baby fitness classes, but found that many of the instructors lacked the knowledge of postpartum exercise guidelines, and healing diastasis (mine was very slight, but still evident). I LOVE the web-based delivery of this program. We all know that as new moms, committing to a regular date and time each week for an exercise class is next to impossible. It is also so convenient to be able to pause, rewind or restart a workout to deal with a diaper explosion or tend to a breastfeeding session.
I found the exercises very gentle and safe in the beginning and the progression was more than appropriate as I slowly regained my strength. Little by little, my posture improved as I noticed definition returning in my mid-section! I continued to lose weight and am now ~15 lbs less than I was pre-pregnancy. And any signs of a diastasis are now completely gone. My daughter is now 20 months old and I have returned to work. I still fit in the Core Rehab exercises on my lunch breaks and while playing with her when at home. She now joins me on the floor and exercises right beside me. She loves the workouts too! Thank you for creating a safe, effective, appropriate workout regime for new moms, that accommodates our busy lifestyles.
I would recommend this program to all moms looking to rebuild strength, improve posture, heal diastasis, and reconnect with their core. Thanks Erica!"
