Testimonials

Women Talking“ I would highly recommend Abby Kurtz as a personal trainer for prenatal and postnatal clients. I was on my second pregnancy when I hired Abby. She created an exercise regimen that involved exercises physical therapists had me do during my first pregnancy. With the help of Abby, this pregnancy was dramatically more pleasant than my first. Unlike my first pregnancy, I was not bed ridden due to sciatic and back issues. She was very knowledgeable and nice to work with.” –  Joanne Petrillo

“Abby came into my life just about the time my belly was taking over and slowing me down. She kept me active, moving, and in shape. And the fact that she came to me, rather then me having to hike to a gym, made all the difference — especially with another little one at home. By the time delivery day rolled around I felt confident that I would have the stamina to push on through. And I did — just three pushes later our daughter arrived.”  – Lindsey Gladstone,  Chicago, IL

I worked with Abby through 39 weeks. She adjusted my workout each week as I grew into my pregnancy, taking the time to make each session different and tailored to what I could do. Our standard appointments kept me motivated to stay active and therefore I felt great throughout my pregnancy. – Liz N., Chicago, IL
