Functional Empowered Fitness Membership

Feel strong and confident.

Improve mobility & find freedom in movement.

Support your body before, during, and after pregnancy.

Imagine joining an online fitness membership made for women through all phases of life (including pregnancy & postpartum) that:

-supports your changing body

-educates and empowers you

-takes away the overwhelm around fitness

-& helps you get strong & flexy

- focuses on moving forward and becoming stronger instead of “getting your body back”

Do any of these describe you..?

✅You want to consistently workout. You have been trying random workouts you see on social media or YouTube, but you’re not seeing results.

✅You’re pregnant and want a fitness program that will help you stay strong, prepare you for birth, and set you up for a better postpartum recovery.

✅You don’t know how to bridge the gap between the postpartum “6 week clearance” and return to exercise you love.

✅You don’t have time to make it to the gym anymore. You need to be able to get strong at home.

✅You want to improve your core & pelvic health & overall mobility.

If any of those sound like you, then this membership has a solution.

Client love (and my motivation)

  • “I’m able to get up and down from the floor with my toddler with relative ease and I’ve actually noticed glute and thigh growth since i started, which I didn’t expect! My PSD has disappeared and I feel like I’ll labor and recover more easily than last pregnancy.”

    - Cara (Pregnancy Program)

  • "Ellen is a wealth of knowledge, and encouraged me to work hard while also understanding the challenges of being a new mom. By starting with the postpartum training, I learned how to check in with my body through breathing and mobility exercises, and how to move through strength training exercises safely while my body continued to change and recovery in the postpartum journey. "

    - Meghan (Postpartum Program)

  • “Thank you for this amazing program, I am trying my best to get into (and maintain) routine and your down-to-earth, supportive and "real" coaching style make the difference.”

    - Stephanie (Swift Strength Program)

  • “Excellent program for all levels. Very thorough full body workout using different modalities. And not a lot of equipment needed to get a great sweat on! Movements include great cueing videos. And enough variety to keep you from getting bored!”

    - Marla (Empowered Strength & Mobility Program)

  • "You are creating GOLD. Thank you so much I feel so confident that my body will be okay thanks to you!"

    - Kim (Pregnancy Program)

  • A 4 week introductory program to help you learn the basics of breathing & mobility training. You’ll get started on total body mobility and learn how good breathing can feel in your body. This is a great place to start if you’re undecided or brand new to fitness! 4 workouts per week for 4 weeks.

  • 4 workouts per week, 30-40 minutes in length. You’ll still get breathing, mobility, and strength combined in the programming, but the workouts will be faster and more dynamic. There won’t be as much “heavy lifting” as in the general strength, mobility, & conditioning program, but you’ll still be getting your strength training in. This program is perfect for you busy moms!

  • This program blends strength & mobility training in a 3x a week program with optional conditioning. This is for you if you're looking to have a structured and progressive fitness program. This program has no end! It will keep going as long as you want it to. It’s the program I (Ellen, your coach) follow myself! Each training session takes ~60 minutes.

  • This program covers weeks 4-42. It will be synced to the week of your pregnancy. The program is designed to support your growing and changing body and has a heavy focus on hip mobility and labor prep. There are 3 strength routines per week and 1 optional hip mobility routine. There is a “easy movement” option in the first trimester for those days you aren’t feeling the best. Once you hit week 28, there’s an added birth prep routine. You’ll also receive educational documents to help you prepare for postpartum recovery!

  • As soon as you're cleared postpartum, you can start this program. It’s an 8 week program that starts with the basics of breathing and core connection and slowly progresses you back to general strength training. This is an attainable 3x a week program designed to support your healing body. It starts very gentle and progresses to total body strength by the end. It takes the mystery out of postpartum return to exercise.

  • Start this program as soon as you finish the 8 week postpartum return to fitness program. It will get you back to dynamic & explosive movements in a progressive & intentional way. You’ll be jumping again with confidence by the end!

Who is coaching you:

I am Ellen Petosa, a certified personal trainer with multiple certifications in biomechanics, mobility, and pregnancy & postpartum training (see FAQ for the list).

I am also a mechanical engineer. I love to understand the why and how things work.

I am a mom of two, so I know what it’s like to balance fitness, family, work, sleep, and stay sane. I know we can’t do it all, but I also know we need to prioritize our health & fitness.

I also know what it feels like to struggle with pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, pregnancy after loss, postpartum depression & anxiety, and the societal pressure to ”bounce back.”

Most importantly, I am here for you. Supporting women before, during, and after pregnancy is my passion. You’ll feel it in the way I program, coach, and support you.

Read more about me here. I am an open book, so please ask me ANYTHING.

So what are you waiting for?
