Get Strong. With a Plan That's Actually Built for You.
After having a baby, your core feels like a stranger, your pelvic floor doesn't quite feel like yours anymore, and you're navigating everything from back pain and hip tightness to leaking when you sneeze. You want to move, you want to feel strong again, but you're just not sure how to do it safely or where to begin.
-
Designed for postnatal moms who are new or returning to exercise. Each session feels like personal training, in a small-group setting.
We build on the fundamental movement patterns your body uses every day: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and carrying. Sound familiar? That's because you're already doing all of these things, (picking up your baby, getting off the floor, lifting a stroller into the trunk). And yes, stronger glutes makes pushing that stroller up a San Francisco hill significantly more manageable!
At the beginning of the program, you’ll have the option to go through a short movement assessment, discuss goals, and/or chat about anything specific to your fitness needs.
From there, we meet twice a week for 50-minute strength training sessions. The goal is simple: to build a strong foundation that grows with you. Because when your body is strong, everything feels more possible, and that's a feeling we want you to carry long after the series ends.

FAQ
-
You don't need a fitness baseline to join. We start with a strategy session to assess where you are and build from there.
-
You’re still a great fit. In addition to strength training, the programming focuses heavily on postnatal corrective exercises, which addresses the muscle compensations that often develop during and after having a baby. These patterns can stick around for years, so it’s never too late to start!
-
Every program is built around your specific body and history. We address core reconnection, pelvic floor awareness, and load management. I work within my scope of practice and I'm trained to recognize when a referral to a pelvic floor PT or other specialist is the right call. If something doesn't feel right, we modify.
-
We'd love for you to get the most out of class, which is easiest without a little one in tow, so childcare is the way to go when you can swing it. But we get that's not always possible. If childcare falls through, bring your baby along. Just keep them in their carrier, car seat, or on a mat, away from equipment, during the session.
If enough of you are interested, I’d be happy to coordinate onsite childcare or a babysitter. Just message me directly.
-
Two sessions a week is the minimum effective dose for building real strength and momentum — and it's built into the program intentionally. Sometimes life gets busy, so consistency over perfection is what we’re going for. If scheduling feels like a real barrier, reach out before signing up, and we'll talk it through.
-
Let's break it down. My 1:1 personal training rate is $150 per session. The Fall Series includes 12 training sessions plus a personalized strategy session — at $660, that works out to just $55 per session. Same coach, same expertise, same personalized attention in a group.

-
The 6-week series is designed for folks who’ve experienced the body changes that come along with pregnancy. We spend a lot of time on corrective exercises that address general postpartum imbalances before diving into strength training.
If you’re someone who’s excited about working out with me, and you’re not in the pre or postnatal category, that’s totally fine! Reach me at pilar@mombod-ac.com to set up a semi-private or 1:1 session.

What People Are Saying
“I’d describe Pilar’s coaching style as supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive—especially when it comes to training during pregnancy and post-partum. She really meets you where you’re at, adjusts everything to how your body is feeling, and makes you feel safe while still helping you get stronger. It feels like having someone fully in your corner who understands the journey and knows exactly how to guide you through it.”
— Chloe F.
(Former client)When I started, I was looking to get stronger again after having my toddler and not getting back into exercise right away postpartum. After about three months of working together, I feel so much stronger both physically and mentally. Our sessions have helped me stay consistent, motivated, and reminded me to prioritize myself again. She is amazing, knowledgeable, and so easy to connect with. Our sessions are full of laughter, but also a seriously great workout. I actually look forward to each session now, which is such a big change for me. Before this, going to the gym or even thinking about a workout felt dreadful, and I would always procrastinate.
I really appreciate how she listens, adjusts each workout based on what my body needs that day, and creates such a supportive and encouraging environment.
— Negi F.
( Client)“Pilar is an exceptional trainer all around! She knows functional movement - integrating different movement patterns, strength, and mobility seamlessly into every workout session- gives excellent cues, and will help you find the variation of each exercise to meet your body where you’re at. I’m learning so much from Pilar about how to engage my body functionally and energetically, and finding the sweet spot of how to push myself but not drain myself of energy. On top of it all, Pilar is SO fun and inspiring, and brings her whole self to workout sessions! She’s truly one of the best there is!”
-Mia G.
(Client) “Working with Pilar has transformed my fitness journey. From being the most amazing motivator to creating fun diverse workouts, her classes have become something I really look forward to. Pilar has been very dedicated to accommodating all my injuries and always makes sure to check in making me feel very supported. I can’t recommend her enough. Her classes have become more than a place to workout for me but a place to strengthen, heal and even build community.”
