Becoming a mom changes everything—including your relationship with fitness.

At CrossFit Durst, our Babies & Barbells program is built around one simple mission: helping moms find their way back to a consistent, sustainable fitness routine after having a baby.

Yes, the babies come too. Yes, we love seeing friendships form between moms and little ones. But this program is really about you.

It’s about rebuilding confidence, restoring strength, and feeling like yourself again.

Safe Postpartum Fitness for Every Stage

Whether you’re newly cleared for exercise or several months into your postpartum journey, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.

That’s why our Babies & Barbells session is coached by Coach Kirsten, who brings a unique combination of expertise and passion to the program. Kirsten is:

Postpartum Fitness Certified
Certified Medical Exercise Trainer
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer

Her love for core and pelvic floor training stems from her years as a professional ballet dancer, where body awareness, movement quality, and strength were essential. Today, she uses that knowledge to help moms rebuild from the inside out.

In our program, you’ll learn:

Proper lifting technique
Core and pelvic floor recovery strategies
Safe postpartum strength training
Functional movement patterns for everyday motherhood
How to build a fitness routine that fits your life

Most importantly, you’ll gain the confidence to walk into any gym knowing exactly what you’re doing.

Real Moms. Real Results.

The results our moms achieve aren’t accidents—they’re a pattern.

Take Sarah Baxter, for example.

Sarah started her fitness journey in Babies & Barbells before transitioning into our regular CrossFit classes. Since getting started, she has:

Lost 19.6 lbs of body fat
Built 8.2 lbs of muscle
Reduced her body fat percentage by 10.9%

And she’s far from alone.

Other Babies & Barbells graduates have seen incredible results:

Crystal: Down 12.4 lbs and 4.9% body fat
Anna: Down 20.6 lbs and 1.8% body fat
Ellen: Down 23.4 lbs and 7.8% body fat

These transformations are about far more than the numbers.

Our moms consistently tell us they:

Have more energy throughout the day
Feel stronger carrying kids, strollers, and everything else motherhood throws at them
Have more confidence in their bodies
Feel less intimidated by gyms and weight training
Finally feel like they’re doing something for themselves again

How We Track Progress

One reason our moms succeed is that we don’t leave progress to chance.

Every Babies & Barbells participant receives:

Quarterly InBody body composition scans
Goal-setting sessions
Professional coaching and accountability
A supportive community of moms on the same journey

This allows us to measure real changes in body composition—not just the number on the scale—and helps moms stay focused on long-term success.

A Community That Gets It

There is something powerful about walking into a room full of moms who understand exactly what you’re going through.

No one cares if your baby cries.

No one judges if you had a rough night of sleep.

No one expects perfection.

Instead, you’ll find support, encouragement, and a community cheering you on every step of the way.
