What You Get Inside the App

Why we created Forward Fitness Co

Most fitness apps weren’t built for this stage of life.

Forward Fitness Co was designed specifically for the physical, emotional, and logistical realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Here’s how it stands out:

  • Tailored to pregnancy and postpartum: Every workout is intentionally programmed to support the shifts happening in your body. This isn’t a generic plan with a pregnancy disclaimer…it’s built from the ground up for these stages.

  • Expert-designed with pelvic floor and core in mind: Created by a pelvic floor physical therapist and strength coach, FFCo blends rehab-informed movement with real-world strength training that helps you feel more capable in everyday life.

  • Flexible paths depending on your goals: Whether you want to stay strong during pregnancy, rebuild postpartum, or eventually return to running, FFCo has a plan to support you—but you're never locked into a one-size-fits-all progression.

  • Progressive, not overwhelming: These workouts challenge you in a safe, scalable way. You’ll learn how to move well, lift with confidence, and build strength you can feel.

This is strength training that respects your body, and helps you keep moving forward.

Equipment Requirements by program:

  • Note: You CAN complete the entire program with just the bands, however, having dumbbells will make the program more effective and allow for more variety.

    Need to have:

    Nice to have:

    • Full set of dumbbells in 5lb increments - The best bang for your buck is adjustable dumbbells. If you don’t have a full set of dumbbells, there is guidance for how to make what you have work for you. If you are looking to invest in adjustable dumbbells, I recommend these: 5-50lb pair of adjustable dumbbells

    • Adjustable Bench - You CAN complete the entire program without this. Many of my clients are able to use a coffee table or couch. An adjustable bench does make things easier and allow for more variation.

    • TRX or TRX-like system (I personally have the off-brand ones and they work just fine) - This is an extremely versatile piece of equipment and will allow for more variation in your program.

    • Yoga Block

    • Pull up bar

  • Note: The barbell programs have alternate exercises for every movement for if you can’t get to the gym and only have dumbbells available.

    Need to have:

    • 1 set of long resistance bands

    • 1 set of short resistance bands

    • Resistance band door anchor (the bands listed above include the door anchor, but if you are using your own bands you’ll need to get a door anchor)

      Note: The bands need to be this brand or SIMILAR. Therabands or light bands with handles will not work.

    • Barbell and Plates

    • Squat Rack

    • Flat Bench

    • TRX or TRX-like bodyweight system, or rings. ALTERNATIVELY, you need to have the ability to use your barbell like a ring row (like this)

    • Full set of dumbbells in 5lb increments - The best bang for your buck is adjustable dumbbells. If you don’t have a full set of dumbbells, there is guidance for how to make what you have work for you. If you are looking to invest in adjustable dumbbells, I recommend these: 5-50lb pair of adjustable dumbbells

    Nice to have:

    • Adjustable Bench - You CAN complete the entire program without this. A flat bench WILL do. But an adjustable bench does make things easier and allow for more variation. (Note: you don’t need an adjustable bench AND a flat bench. Flat bench is needed, adjustable bench offers more options)

    • TRX or TRX-like system (I personally have the off-brand ones and they work just fine) - This is an extremely versatile piece of equipment and will allow for more variation in your program.

    • Yoga Block

    • Pull up bar

    • Step Up Box

  • Most of the program can be completed without any equipment, however the optional strength circuits in weeks 5/6 require a set of large loop bands. A yoga block and ball may be helpful, although not required
