Expecting and Empowered

I really like the app and since I have it, I do a lot more workouts than before. I really like that you get new routines according to your pregnancy week. I found, so far, all exercises were doable for me with the growing belly. I feel much better now that I exercise regularly than before, it helped with back pain and the stretching tummy. I love that I can listen to the music I want and that the app does not have its own. Some exercises may need a bit more explanation. I had a few I didn't understand fully with just the video. What I would wish for is that you can tell the app what equipment you have. Some exercises need things I don't own so I have to skip a few exercises - because I'm not buying all the things. But other than that I'm super happy with the app and I think the price is worth it (I paid annually instead of monthly - much cheaper!)

Tried it for a few months but I just didn’t find the workouts fun.. the app isn’t really engaging and the instructions are not always clear. For me it felt like there was a lot of unnecessary awkwardness with some movements and transitions. It’s hard to get in the zone when you have to keep going back and tapping ‘next’ on your phone or device. I also prefer timing each exercise in stead of counting reps. There is a ‘flexibility’ portion but there is no stretching or warm-down that seems relevant to the movements in the work out (i.e. to prevent feeling stiff the next day.) The pelvic floor stuff seems important so I would say that is something of value. Maybe it’s just not for me 🤷‍♀️ I hope this review is helpful for the developers to keep refining the format.

This app has helped me workout safely while pregnant! It helps with stretches and pelvic floor. All you need!

Expecting & Empowered is a wonderful program for any phase of life you are going through, whether it be prenatal or postpartum. I love following the stength workout program knowing it’s safe for the stage of pregnancy I’m currently in! I also look forward to ordering my c-section recovery box and following the c-section program after having our baby boy 💙

I’ve used this app through my post partum period and I love it! I’ve gone through the strength, cardio, and core portions and I love the guidance and simplicity of it all! Thank you thank you thank you!!

I felt stronger and more confident with my pregnancy. Easy to follow workouts. Anyone can do it

Before pregnancy I ran and lifted regularly at a competitive level. This app has been the guide I needed for continuing to lift safely through pregnancy for a strong birth and postpartum. It has given me the peace of mind that I am doing “enough” to prepare for birth and maintain my strength.

This app has made me stronger in ways I thought might not be possible after 2 pregnancies. With my second preg, started following the app since day 1 and it has made my delivery easier and postpartum recovery easier. Very thankful to have found this and I recommend this to all my friends going through pregnancy and postpartum.

Absolutely love this app, so helpful for navigating postpartum after my c-section!

I have used this program for all 3 babies, but with baby #3 I started having bad SI joint pain. I saw a pelvic PT for weeks and nothing helped… until I started training with this app. It truly focuses on strengthening the right muscles to relieve pregnancy aches and pains!
