A little movement, a little breathing room, and a place for you and your baby.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, navigating life with a newborn, or simply looking for a gentler way to move, Core & Restore: Connect is a welcoming place to begin.

This beginner-friendly fitness class combines gentle strength training, stretching, mindful movement, and guided breathing to help you reconnect with your body and build confidence in your movement. You don't need any previous fitness experience, and you don't have to worry about keeping up with anyone else. We'll meet you where you are.

And because we know that finding time for yourself can be challenging as a mom, your baby is welcome to stay right alongside you throughout class!

A Fitness Class That Meets You Where You Are

Core & Restore: Connect is designed for moms who want to move their bodies without the pressure of an intense workout. Whether you're new to exercise, pregnant, returning to movement after having a baby, or simply looking for a slower-paced class, this is a space where you can feel comfortable starting right where you are.

Our class incorporates:

• Gentle strength training: Build strength with approachable exercises and modifications.
• Core-focused movement: Explore movements that help you reconnect with your core.
• Stretching and mobility: Make space for flexibility, comfortable movement, and relaxation.
• Guided breathwork: Take a moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
• Community and connection: Meet other moms who are navigating similar seasons of life.

Babies Are Welcome!

You don't need to find childcare to take a little time for yourself. Babies are welcome to be with you during Core & Restore: Connect.

Whether your little one is happy watching from a blanket, snuggling in your arms, or needs a feeding or a cuddle break, you're welcome here. There's no expectation that your baby will sit quietly through the entire class. Motherhood happens, and we embrace it!

Perfect for Beginners, Expecting Moms, and New Moms

If the thought of returning to a traditional fitness class feels intimidating, Core & Restore: Connect is a great place to start.

This class is especially suited for:

• Moms who are new to fitness or want to ease into exercise.
• Expecting moms looking for gentle, pregnancy-appropriate movement.
• New moms looking for a supportive environment to reconnect with movement.
• Moms who want to build strength without high-intensity workouts.
• Anyone looking for a little time to move, breathe, and connect with other moms.

If you're pregnant or recently postpartum, we'll help you find appropriate movement options for your stage and experience. Please consult your healthcare provider about when it's appropriate for you to participate.

More Than a Workout

At FIT4MOM East DuPage West Cook, we know that taking care of yourself can be difficult when you're taking care of everyone else. Core & Restore: Connect is an opportunity to slow down, focus on yourself, and connect with other moms who understand.

You don't have to be strong already. You don't have to know what you're doing. And you certainly don't have to leave your baby at home.

Come as you are, bring your little one, and give yourself permission to make time for you.
