User Reviews

Expecting and Empowered is lauded for its structured, phase-specific workouts with a strong safety focus and C-section recovery support. Users value the 20–30 minute sessions that can be done at home or the gym, plus its variety of programs—strength, cardio, core, and running—that help women regain confidence and return to running. Common drawbacks include app glitches and a desire for more pregnancy-specific modifications; some feel the strength circuits are not ideal for experienced lifters.
Pros
  • Well-structured, progressive prenatal and postpartum programs with week-by-week guidance.
  • Safety-focused content with pelvic floor/core emphasis, plus guidance for C-section recovery.
  • Flexible, time-efficient workouts that can be done at home or the gym (about 20–30 minutes) with minimal equipment.
  • Strong support for returning to running, including a dedicated run program that helps rebuild mileage safely.
  • Variety across phases (strength, cardio, core, yoga) with clear visuals/videos and accessible formats for busy moms.
Cons
  • Glitches and stability issues (videos not loading, workouts skipping, looping circuits).
  • Limited modifications for pregnancy; desire for more options (less jumping, more resistance-band adaptations, equipment variety).
  • Strength circuits seem geared to beginners/HIIT-style workouts and may not fit experienced lifters; need progression options.

I was struggling to get back into a fitness routine post c section with my first. The E&E app helped bring structure and confidence to my workouts. I did the post c section strength training, which included scar desensitization and mobilization. I could do the workouts from home or the gym, which was a huge plus. I also did the 12 week return to running program, which got me to a 10k at 9 months PP. A casual runner before using the app, it helped me think about my form and mixing speed and endurance in new ways. Highly recommend this app, I’ll definitely be using it for my next pregnancy and PP season!

I’ve been using this app since Fall 2022 in my first pregnancy, and have continued to use it throughout postpartum, my second pregnancy, and now second postpartum experience. I love the strength training workouts— they are all just about 30 minutes. I have also loved the return to running program. It builds me up not only physically but mentally! 5/5.

Have been using the app for several weeks in second trimester and am glad to have found it. Solid exercises with clear guidance and visuals. I just wish there were more modifications offered. What causal pregnant exerciser has a door anchor?! Not necessary, there are plenty of modifications possible with resistance bands but they’re not offered. Also a lot of jumping, which isn’t comfortable for lots of preggos. On the whole though I recommend, hope they can make some of these simple tweaks to make it even better!
