what our moms think
Miriam- Founder of FGMS
I am an experienced, certified professional committed to supporting women in a genuine and meaningful way.
I have been a qualified fitness professional since 2012 and earned my certification as a pre- and postpartum exercise coach in 2017. With a background in sports that spans many years, I particularly enjoy CrossFit and strength + hypertrophy training and incorporate these into my approach.
In 2023, I also became a certified menopause coaching specialist to better serve women navigating this important and often overlooked stage of life.
My focus is on creating a safe and supportive space where women feel comfortable to be themselves. I believe in honest conversations about sensitive topics and aim to provide guidance without judgment.
I prioritize proper technique and offer a variety of options to develop personalized movement and symptom management plans. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach and am dedicated to ensuring each woman’s individual needs are addressed.
Fun fact: I also speak Dutch!

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
FGMS is not linked to any insurance companies. However, upon any purchases, an invoice is automatically generated, which some moms have successfully submitted to their specific insurance. It’s therefore always worth a try!
We love coaching beginners, as well as seasoned athletes. So no, you do not need to have any weight lifting experience. We will make sure you learn the fundamental movement pattern techniques, and progress safely over time.
For group classes, you can either join via a monthly membership (with an option to train 1x/week or 2x/week), or purchase a 10-credit pass. Semi-private coaching requires a minimum 3-month commitment with 3 monthly payments.
This is actually the very thing we specialize in. Over the last 7 years, we have had the honour to work with countless of moms who have come to us with Diastasis (ranging from 1.5 to 22 cm inter-recti distance), varying degrees of prolapse and urine loss during sneezing, running, of other activities. So yes, absolutely allow us to be on your support team!
Your baby is always welcome at our “Mommy & Me” group classes and the 12-week postpartum program classes. That said, we recognize the importance of a mom having an hour to herself and therefore recommend baby only joins the postpartum program classes when necessary.
This one absolutely depends on the individual who is asking. How their birth went, and how they are feeling now. Both, physically and mentally. We therefore recommend you contact us to establish how we can best support your needs.
