“Taking the GGS pre and postnatal certification really helped me out so much during pregnancy as well as postpartum. I lifted with all 3 (and now my 4th!) pregnancies and I just feel better knowing that I know have the knowledge this certification has provided. It’s so evidence based and there are so many helpful videos. I even learned things that I didn’t know about! Now I’m using my knowledge to help friends and family who want to stay active before and after pregnancy.”
Thanks for sharing your journey, Erika—and a huge congratulations on becoming a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach!
It's incredible to hear that the certification has been so valuable, not only professionally but personally through your own pregnancies. Your experience highlights exactly why we created the certification: to give women evidence-based, practical tools to feel strong and confident at every stage. How amazing that you're already putting this knowledge into action by supporting friends and family!
We're so grateful to have you as part of the GGS Community and excited to see the continued impact you'll make in the lives of the women around you.

“I purchased the Pre- & Postnatal coaching m Certification when I decided I wanted to have a baby myself. I’m a CrossFit coach, and I was honestly freaked about not knowing what exercises would be safe for me when pregnant or safe for my athletes who are pregnant. The certification gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to be able to go into my own conception and pregnancy journey with confidence and also to be able to coach more female athletes. I’ve even started a “Dumbbells & Diapers” program at my gym for pregnant and postpartum moms! I love that I can feel confident in my coaching abilities and in my ability to offer safe and effective exercise variations no matter who comes into my gym. If you’re thinking about doing this program, I absolutely think it’s worth it.”
Kate, thanks so much for sharing your inspiring journey—and congratulations on becoming a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach!
It's incredible to hear how you’ve used the certification to boost your confidence both personally and professionally, particularly in creating your "Dumbbells & Diapers" program for expecting and postpartum moms—what an amazing initiative! We designed this certification to equip coaches like you with evidence-based skills and practical knowledge, so hearing how you've applied this in your CrossFit community is truly inspiring.
We’re honored you chose GGS to support your own pregnancy journey and your coaching career. Keep up the amazing work!

“I had my babies in the early 90s, and having been through seven pregnancies and raising four children, I already knew a fair bit about the process. I am also a fitness and nutrition coach, and have a good knowledge base about nutrition and exercise programming.
But what is known about pregnancy and postnatal care these days is vastly different than what was known back then, especially in the areas of exercise and recovery. So when two of my kids became pregnant at the same time, I was excited to take the GGS Pre and Postnatal course so I could bring my knowledge up to date and support my kids through this stage of their lives. I learned so much more than I thought I would!
I also really appreciated being able to take the course at my own pace, pausing when necessary due to life circumstances. The course was laid out in a way that worked well for me, so I could take my time but not feel like I was starting over every time I had to stop for a few weeks.
I highly recommend this course and can’t wait to continue my education through GGS.”
Tina, thank you for sharing your thoughtful reflections—and congratulations on becoming a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach!

“The pre- and postnatal coaching certification is so much more than a set of physical guidelines — it’s a gentle yet profound invitation into the emotional and embodied world of the woman in transition. It offers not only knowledge, but a deeper lens into how to truly listen — with empathy, softness, and genuine presence — during one of the most tender and transformative seasons of her life.
Whether in preparation or in the quiet unfolding of the postpartum, the course brings forward honest case studies, layered insights, and compassionate pathways to support your clients — or yourself — in building trust with the body, moving with intention during pregnancy, and embracing the slow, connected rhythm of recovery.
It holds space for the changes, the uncertainty, the beauty of metamorphosis — and gives you tools to navigate it with more grace and clarity.
And once again… I’m reminded how deeply needed this work is.”

“There is a serious lack of knowledge in the fitness industry on training our largest client base - Women. This course helps fill this gap in knowledge with a detailed course, that while broaching complex bio-science, explains the information in an approachable and most importantly applicable way.”
Hannah, thank you for sharing your experience — and congratulations on becoming a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach!
You're absolutely right — the fitness industry has long overlooked the specific needs of women, and we're so glad this course helped close that gap for you. It means a lot to hear that the complex topics felt approachable and directly applicable to your work. That’s exactly what we aim for with this evidence-based women’s health certification — practical, science-backed support you can use right away.
We’re proud to have you in the GGS Community and excited to see how you continue to make a difference!
