What People Are Saying

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I started postpartum Pilates at tru 8 weeks after my C-section and it completely changed my recovery. My diastasis has nearly closed, I haven't had a single leak in weeks, and my back pain from nursing is gone. The instructors made me feel so supported and never pushed me too hard. I actually feel stronger now than before I got pregnant!”

— Jessica M.

“I waited almost two years after my second baby to address my separated abs and constant leaking—I wish I'd found tru sooner! Within 6 weeks of twice-weekly sessions, I could engage my core again and the leaking reduced dramatically. Three months in and I finally feel like myself. The other moms in class became my support system too.”

— Amanda L.

“The postpartum Pilates program at tru gave me my body back. My instructor really understood my cesarean recovery needs and modified everything perfectly. I love that they checked my diastasis and taught me exactly which exercises would help versus hurt. Now at 4 months postpartum I'm stronger than ever and can keep up with my toddler without pain.”

— Sarah K.
