WHY THIS COURSE

The course the fitness industry
has been missing.

Most fitness professionals are underprepared for the most significant physical transition their clients will ever experience. The Bump Wellness course changes that.

1

Evidence-informed, not fear-based

Grounded in ACOG Committee Opinion 804 (2020), the 2019 Canadian Pregnancy Physical Activity Guideline, and the Goom, Donnelly & Brockwell (2019) return-to-running framework. 34 peer-reviewed and consensus references.

2

Scope-clear from the first page

Every chapter ends with a scope-of-practice reminder. You will always know what you can coach, what requires modification, and when to refer.

3

Built for real-world practice

Case studies, intake forms, referral templates, clinical red flag tables, and sample training splits. This is a reference manual you will return to after the exam.

4

One course. Nearly your full recertification.

At 1.9 CECs, this course satisfies nearly the entire XXXX 2-year recertification requirement of 2.0 CECs. The only remaining requirement is your CPR card.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR

Built for certified fitness professionals
who want to do this right.

This course is designed for professionals who already have a foundational education in exercise science and want to expand into one of the fastest-growing and most underserved client populations in fitness.

Personal Trainers

NASM-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, ACE-CPT, or equivalent. Already working with or planning to work with perinatal clients.

Group Fitness Instructors

Yoga, Pilates, barre, and fitness instructors who regularly have pregnant and postpartum clients in class.

Strength Coaches

CSCS, NSCA, and performance-focused coaches whose female athletes become pregnant and postpartum.

Allied Health Professionals

Physical therapists, nurses, and healthcare professionals seeking a fitness-focused perinatal training framework.

Running Coaches

Corrective Exercise Specialists

"Train the client in front of you — not the protocol you memorized."

The Bump Wellness method is built on one standard: every programming decision should be guided by the client's current stage, symptoms, recovery capacity, and goals — not a generic prenatal program applied uniformly. This course teaches you how to think, not just what to do.

FREQUINTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

EVERY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW.

  • Is this course approved by XXXX and XXX?

    Yes. Both XXXX and XXX approve the Bump Wellness Integrated Perinatal Fitness Specialist. It is worth 1.9 CECs/CEUs — nearly the full XXXX 2-year recertification requirement of 2.0 CECs. The only remaining requirement after this course is your CPR card.



  • How long does the course take to complete?

    The course is estimated at 19 hours of instructional content. It is self-study, so you complete it entirely at your own pace. Most students complete the reading over 2–4 weeks and then sit for the exam. There is no time limit or expiration date.

  • What format is the course?

    This is a home study course delivered as a professionally designed PDF manual. It includes 298 pages of course content, 8 full-color clinical infographics, a complete professional toolkit, and a 100-question final examination. There is no video component — the course is text and visual-based, which means you can read at your own pace, highlight, take notes, and return to any section at any time.

  • What do I need to have before taking this course?

    This course is designed for fitness professionals who already hold a foundational certification — NASM-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, ACE-CPT, or equivalent. A basic understanding of exercise science, anatomy, and resistance training programming is assumed. The course builds on that foundation with perinatal-specific clinical knowledge.

  • How does the exam work?

    The final examination is 100 multiple-choice questions. It is open-book — you may use your course manual while completing it. A score of 80% or higher is required to pass. You have up to two attempts. Once you pass, your certificate of completion will be issued. You then submit the certificate to XXXX, XXX, or your certifying organization to claim your CECs.


  • Will this course qualify me to train pregnant clients without any other training?


    ▼

    This course provides comprehensive continuing education for fitness professionals. It is one of the most thorough perinatal fitness courses available. However, it is a CEC course, not a primary certification. You should hold a foundational fitness certification and maintain your scope of practice at all times. The course is explicit about what fitness professionals may and may not do with perinatal clients.

  • What makes this course different from other prenatal fitness courses?

    Several things. First, the clinical depth — this course covers everything from the core-pelvic floor canister to criteria-based return-to-running to trauma-informed coaching to ethical marketing, grounded in 34 peer-reviewed references with DOIs. Second, the professional toolkit — the intake forms, referral templates, case studies, and clinical decision tools are designed for real practice. Third, the textbook-quality production — 10 professional clinical infographics, full-color design, and a complete reference manual you will use long after the exam. And fourth, the scope clarity — every chapter ends with a scope-of-practice reminder. You will always know exactly what you can and cannot do.

  • Whats your refund policy?

    We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the course within 30 days of purchase and have not yet submitted your final examination, contact us at BumpWellness.com for a full refund.

  • How do I submit my CECs to XXXX or XXX after completing the course?

  • Do I get access to updates?

    Yes. Your purchase includes lifetime access to the course. If significant updates are made to the course content — updated guidelines, new editions, or revised clinical content — enrolled students receive access to the updated materials.

BUMP WELLNESS PRENATAL & POSTNATAL FITNESS

SAFE, EFFECTIVE PERSONAL TRAINING FOR YOUR PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM JOURNEY

Exercising during pregnancy and regaining strength afterward requires more than a generic workout plan—it calls for evidence-based guidance that adapts to your changing body. Bump Wellness personal training programs are developed by certified prenatal and postpartum trainers who adhere to ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) guidelines and, when appropriate, coordinate with your OB-GYN. Whether you want to stay active while expecting, build stamina for labor, or address diastasis recti after birth, every session is tailored to your stage, energy, and comfort level.


Your Journey, Our Expertise

Our personal training focuses on deep core and pelvic floor health, functional movement, and appropriate progressions. Many clients begin with trimester-specific strength and mobility exercises before transitioning to an effective postpartum plan that can start as soon as six weeks after delivery. Others begin later when they feel ready, concentrating on improving posture, restoring balance, and rebuilding core strength.


Our Services

  • Progressive prenatal training that evolves throughout your pregnancy
  • Postnatal personal training beginning as early as six weeks (with medical clearance)
  • Baby-friendly small-group sessions for new moms
  • Breathing techniques and relaxation strategies for labor preparation
  • Specialized diastasis recti and pelvic-floor rehabilitation
  • Flexible training options: In-home, outdoor, or virtual Zoom training, wherever you are located


Choose Bump Wellness

Bump Wellness distinguishes itself with an evidence-based and collaborative approach. Our certified prenatal fitness specialists adjust workouts to address common pregnancy discomforts, prioritize pelvic floor health, and carefully monitor intensity, allowing you to exercise confidently and safely.
