course overview

The FEA Pre and Post Natal Training Specialist credential equips fitness practitioners with the knowledge and skills to safely guide clients through pregnancy and the postnatal period, helping women maintain safe activity levels during pregnancy and supporting their return to exercise after delivery. By understanding the physiological, hormonal, and biomechanical changes that occur during these stages, you will gain the confidence to coach, modify, and manage clients who may require additional care and consideration. The Bump and Beyond workshop, the practical foundation of this credential, introduces pregnancy-specific exercises for beginner, intermediate, and advanced clients, teaching effective modifications and safe coaching strategies, as well as assessing postnatal readiness for exercise. Upon completing the workshop, participants can proceed with the required online studies and final examination to earn the FEA Pre and Post Natal Training Specialist credential.
