“I used to always think I had to exercise hard and give it my all, or else it wasn’t worth it. And was skeptical that this program would change anything for me, but it felt realistic and achievable because it was such short workouts so I felt like I had nothing to lose.

And then last week, I realized that I had gone from barely being able to lift myself up in a side plank to doing three LEGIT ones, on both sides, for 60 seconds each!!! It made me realize how impactful “small” actions can be if I can just be (fairly) consistent and patient with myself,”

- Olga G.

This program is for you if you:

  • Are a busy mom/parent who wants to begin (or get back to) movement but needs a little push

  • Don't want to join a gym or don't feel that comfortable in big gym settings (me too!)

  • Are looking for something you can jump right into (today!) at home, with minimal equipment

  • Want exercise to leave you feeling energized rather than depleted

  • Need support to stay motivated and want the gentle accountability of an already designed program to commit to a movement practice for 12 weeks

This program is not for you if you:

  • Have very specific athletic goals - a more individualized program would likely serve you better

  • Are looking for nutrition advice (not in my scope of expertise or interest TBH!)

  • Are interested in weight loss training or have strict aesthetic goals.

  • Are dealing with serious and specific injuries or symptoms - A more personalized form of support would likely suit you better.

  • Need the accountability that comes from working 1:1 with a coach.

“This has been the first consistent exercise since giving birth that I have been able to maintain”

Hi, I’m Hannah

(and i’m so glad you’re here)

hannah etlin-stein smiling with soft background

As a Registered Massage Therapist, Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist, and Doula, I bring a unique blend of expertise to help postpartum folks rebuild strength and confidence.

With two small children of my own, I understand the challenges of postpartum recovery first hand, and how HARD it can feel to find time to exercise with kids around.

But it doesn’t have to be complicated.

I created Strength Made Simple to make fitness accessible, effective, and empowering, no matter where you’re starting.

I lead with my values. I believe that Black Lives Matter, Indigenous Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, and that the body is deeply political. I believe your body does not need to change in shape or size to become good but with strategic and targeted support, movement has the capacity to heal and can be vital to wellness.

Above all else, I believe that YOU know your body best.

I am TIRED of a wellness industry that has us believing that our bodies are too big, too weak, too broken.

I’m on a mission to do fitness differently and to help you feel liberated in your body.

“I’m experiencing the joy of movement again and feeling more like myself!”

What folks are saying about Strength Made Simple

“This program provided exactly what I needed. Thanks!”

“I have the ability to do more than I thought and that strengthening really can be beneficial to the pain I experience -- this has been a DRAMATIC shift in my understanding of how to move my body.

I don't have to wait to be perfectly discomfort free before working out but rather can adjust to what works best for me that day”

Please note: accessibility is very important to me. If price is a limiting factor for you, let’s chat and see if we can make something work for you. 

FAQs:

  • Ideally you have access to one set of medium weight dumbbells (10-20lbs), one heavier weight dumbbell or kettlebell (20-40lbs) and varying tension stretchy bands. That being said, we can work around what you have access to and all exercises can be modified depending on what you have access to.

  • No specific exercise experience is necessary for this program. This program is not appropriate for anyone in the early stages of postpartum healing (1-3 months). A base level of core connection and recovery is important first.

  • Yes! 100%, yes.

    While I do specialize working with perinatal folks, and this program was designed with postpartum folks at top of mind you do not need to be pregnant or a parent to join. Movement is movement !

  • Many of the folks who have used this program are managing diastasis recti or varying degrees of pelvic organ prolapse. The goal of this program is to allow you to gain all the benefits from a full body strength training program into your life without ramping up any of your symptoms. Often, I recommend pairing this program with a few targeted 1:1 sessions so we can modify the program in a way that serves you and your needs.

  • Diastasis Recti and Pelvic Organ Prolapse are common adaptations the body makes during the perinatal period. While many of my clients do report a decrease in symptoms this program is not specifically for the purpose of ‘healing’ POP or DR. With additional 1:1 support, we can however, adapt and modify exercises so that symptoms are not increased. It is highly recommended you also see a pelvic floor therapist to address these issues specifically.

  • I’ve been hearing from some folks who are looking for weekly or biweekly sessions together. You absolutely have the option of adding extra private coaching sessions to your program for an additional price.

12 weeks from now, 

you can have the tools and movement habit you need 

to feel empowered in your body and life

Let’s do this together.
