The program is very well designed, user friendly and the exercises are engaging and so far seem effective. I signed up for the postpartum program and started 4 months postpartum. I had to slow down the pace of the exercises because my core/pelvis didn’t feel ready for that speed and intensity and I wonder if other mothers would have this awareness or may push themselves beyond their limits to keep up with the workouts and “earn their rest”. The language of some instructors could be gentler for postpartum moms. Phrases like “you better be sore than sorry” could be harmful for someone who’s recovering after birth. We already went through a lot during pregnancy and birth, we shouldn’t be suffering to recover our core and pelvic health. I would prefer a more supportive language and more mindful movement for the immediate postpartum period.

I like the breathing techniques to focus on core strength and the exercises catered to each trimester. Some workouts feel great but I don’t know that my pregnant belly can handle certain stretches (like child’s pose). In general, I feel like certain parts of my body are being strengthened with the EM exercises, but not necessarily stretched. The stretch sections at the end of the video are very brief.

I like the workouts most of the time. Good instructors, I like that I can see how much time is left.

The program is effective when you do the exercises and keep working on it. I have had improvement although my diastasis isn't completely resolved, I am hopeful that if I keep working on it then it will. Persistently keeping up with the program is a challenge. I didn't give a full 5 stars because I wish there was a live human interaction component to help keep up accountability and ongoing education. I'm a "type-A" personality and a physician (and not likely the typical consumer) and I found it challenging to keep up the motivation to continue with these very redundant exercises day in and day out. Many people in my situation would have already signed themselves up for a tummy tuck, as advised by your typical ob/gyn (in my experience) which doesn't strengthen any muscles and resolve the root cause of the problem. I'm continuing with the program, doing the work, and excited to see ongoing progress!

Love that I have a workout that can challenge me, but also not cause more damage with my core. After 5 babies I wanted to get back in shape, but needed to do it safely.

I love the app and have definitely found the content useful. The instructors are knowledgeable and the path feels very carefully calibrated to my needs. It has been transformative for how I move. The app is easy to navigate, the videos are easy to follow, and the information is important. Occasionally, there are references to flat abs or cinched waists that I find off-putting, but that may be the goal for some. Overall, I highly recommend using EM!

I love everything about the EM app. The set up with individualized workout paths feels like I have a personal trainer (almost). The only thing I would change is the yoga workouts. I would love for them to be more varied (in the positions) and have a meditative/spiritual feel.

Great workouts and the exercises and stretches help my back, but sooooo expensive. Especially for how short the workouts are and how sporadicly I can do them as a new mom of twins
