Are you ready for your running comeback?
I know... the thought of running after giving birth (or years after giving birth) may have you feeling both excited and anxious! I get you!
But I designed this 4-week strength class so that you can feel powerful, strong and confident in your running debut this summer!
In this 4-week strength class, we will focus on building a strong foundation for your pelvic floor with power and strength exercises specific to running and impact management.
In just 4-weeks:
Transform your running performance with targeted exercises designed to enhance power and endurance
Feel physically stronger, athletic and more powerful in this version of your body
Address those annoying pelvic floor symptoms and learn strategies for optimal support
IS RUNNING STRONG FOR ME?
THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF: ​

Hi! I'm Martine Chiasson, your prenatal and postnatal fitness coach!
I'm a certified kinesiologist specialized in prenatal and postnatal fitness, with a passion in supporting pregnant and postpartum people on their journeys to parenthood. I'm also a mother to 3 children under the age of 8.​
​
When it comes to the fitness industry, you could say I’m a little bit of a misfit. I don’t coach weight loss, I don’t compare before and after photos or take any measurements. Instead we have conversations around what it means to move our bodies and how exercise can support your whole being through all of the seasons of life, the good and the hard.
​
I help postpartum people and mothers return to exercise while getting stronger, feeling confident in their body's ability to move, all while managing pelvic floor symptoms and discomforts.
​
I am so excited to help you begin or return to running in this season of life, while still honouring your mental, emotional and physical needs!
