Abby Kurtz is the owner and lead personal trainer with Pea in The Pod Fitness. She has been in the fitness industry since 2003. She has a B.S in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She has worked in a variety of settings including gyms, hospitals, and physical therapy offices. All of these experiences have led her to a greater knowledge of body mechanics and injury rehabilitation.
Abby discovered her passion for training prenatal and postpartum women in 2006. She particularly enjoys this group of women because they are very focused on health during this time of life. It is an exciting group to work with and it is extremely fulfilling to see them make it through pregnancy and beyond with more energy, improved body image and without the aches and pains that many women experience during this time. Abby finds it rewarding to be a small part of the whole process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
