Lunges ‘n Lattes offers pre- and post-natal fitness classes, as well as private and semi-private training that can be customized to accommodate every stage of motherhood.

A testimonial from Annie Hostetter, Lunges ‘n Lattes member & longtime Berwyn resident:

“Being a part of Lunges ‘n Lattes has had a tremendously positive impact on me since I became part of the community about 4 years ago. This most recent spring and summer have been the most beneficial as I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I was able to work out multiple times a week in a Covid-safe environment with my peers. Instructors seamlessly gave me modifications throughout class and helped me maintain physical fitness and self-care. Even though we are in the midst of a pandemic and I now have 3 children, my delivery and recovery this time around has been the least difficult, physically and mentally. As a mental health professional and a mother, I can say without hesitation, that having Lunges and Lattes during pregnancy was a major part of my smooth pregnancy and successful post-partum experience.”
