Postpartum & Prenatal Training, in Your Home
Rebuild your core and strength after baby — or train safely through pregnancy — with a certified trainer who comes to you and works around naptime. Gentle, expert, and built for your recovery.
Type A Training matches new and expecting moms across Manhattan with certified trainers experienced in prenatal and postpartum fitness. We come to your home, train around your baby’s schedule, and progress safely — once your doctor has cleared you to exercise — so you can rebuild your strength and feel like yourself again.
Your recovery deserves more than a weekend cert.
Pre and postnatal training isn’t general fitness. Every Type A trainer is nationally certified, insured, and CPR-certified — and for this season, we match you with one experienced in training safely through pregnancy and recovery.

We begin once you’re medically cleared and work alongside your OB or physical therapist’s guidance.
$2M insured & vetted
50-state background checks, references, and full liability coverage. Only 1 in 10 applicants is hired.

“After reading incredible reviews about Type A training, I contacted Nathaniel. The day I got post -natal clearance from my doctor to workout, I was ready to embark on the baby weight loss journey. From the first day, Nathaniel was encouraging but at the same time intense. We reviewed my goals and all that I wished to accomplish with our sessions. Nathaniel went above and beyond, sending me helpful diet tips and workout schedules when I was traveling. He is pretty amazing. I am just stunned by the way my body has been sculpted. The workouts go by fast and it never seems that two sessions are the same. My husband was the first to recognize the changes in my body and that was after only 2/3 weeks of working out with Nathaniel! It has been close to a year now and I must say that Nathaniel is the best!!!! I have worked out with trainers at my old gym but I never was able to achieve the results that I have with Type A Training. I’m in great shape and I owe 75% to Nathaniel (I have to give myself a little credit too!) Don’t look any further if you are looking for reliable, flexible, encouraging and supportive training! Type A is the way to go!!!”
“Nathaniel runs a seamless operation. He listens to goals, provides the perfect trainer, and proactively ensures all needs are met. if I could give six stars I would! A absolute pleasure to work with and a great investment.”
“Great experience all around. Extremely responsive, will quickly match you with a specialized trainer that fits your goals, location, & schedule. Highly recommend.”

Everything you need, answered.
How soon after giving birth can I start?
It depends on your delivery and your doctor. Many moms are cleared around six weeks postpartum (often later after a C-section). We begin once your provider has cleared you to exercise, and we start gently — meeting your body exactly where it is.
Can you help with core recovery and diastasis recti?
Yes — our trainers are experienced with safe, gradual core rebuilding and program around abdominal separation rather than against it (no crunches or planks on day one). We’re fitness professionals, not medical providers, so we coordinate with your doctor or pelvic-floor physical therapist and follow their guidance.
Is it safe to train during pregnancy?
For most healthy pregnancies, modified strength training is both safe and beneficial — with your provider’s clearance. Your trainer adjusts intensity and movements by trimester and avoids anything contraindicated. We always defer to your OB or midwife.
Do I need childcare for a session?
No. We come to your home and train around naptime, so you never have to leave or arrange care. Bring the baby into the room if that’s easier — we’re used to it.
What about C-section recovery?
C-section recovery takes longer, and we respect that fully. Once your surgeon clears you, we progress slowly and carefully, prioritizing healing and core stability before any intensity.
Do I need any equipment?
No — your trainer brings everything. You just need a little open floor space.
How fast can I start?
Most clients begin within 24 hours of reaching out. Tell us your goals and clearance status, and we’ll match you and confirm your first session.
