I have tried multiple Diastasis Recti exercise programs over the last few years to try engaging my transverse abdominis muscles, but Kayla’s 8-Week Challenge has been the most effective. By the end of the 8 weeks, I actually could feel all of the different muscle groups that she instructed us on. I feel better in my clothes. And the best part is, I can now pick up my 40-pound daughter and not worry about hurting my back like I used to. I liked that the first 2 weeks were focused on engaging each different ab muscle through breath and setting up the foundation for how to identify and use those muscles. This helped for more challenging movements in the future weeks of the program. By completing Kayla’s 8-Week Challenge, I accomplished something that was just for me and it did wonders for my overall self-esteem!

I really appreciated that the On-Demand workout videos averaged about 30-minutes long. Having 3 young children, this aspect was very important to me! I got into a groove of getting my kids to bed and then heading down to my basement to workout. I loved how the workout videos were self-paced so I could fit them in whenever I could find the time. I even brought some workout gear with me on vacation and didn’t miss a day! I also really liked that there was a built-in weekly rest day. Inevitably, I would either be too busy or too tired one day during the week to get that workout in, and the rest day allowed me to skip that day and make it up the next day. I am so glad that I joined the 8-week challenge. I definitely feel stronger and more energized because of it!

I’ve done Pilates for several years, and it is so nice to relearn how to properly engage my core! Kayla’s workout videos and PDF guides provide clear and concise instruction from the get go. There is a clear progression, building on skills you learn from one video to the next. The workouts are short, effective, and fun! Most are only 30 minutes long.

I’ve always heard the term “use your core” and never really knew what that meant. My pants fit better and I feel like my love handles have shrunk, but more excitingly, I definitely have less low back pain. This challenge has helped me to realize I was engaging my hip flexors incorrectly. I can now engage my core to pull my legs up rather than relying on my hip flexors or my hamstrings. I would recommend this challenge to anyone who wants to be more educated on how to engage their core properly but also expand on that to see improvements! Kayla offers great modifications for exercises that prove to be challenging and you can take it at your pace. It was so nice to be able to do it from home so I could fit it into my busy schedule.

This was an awesome experience! I looked forward to each and every day to a new workout. There was a lot of variety and Kayla’s approach was great to follow. Kayla was with you every step of the way, coaching and encouraging you. This challenge is for anyone who wants to learn and improve their core & glutes. I would highly recommend it!

I had been experiencing off and on back pain since I was a teenager, and I had tried a variety of treatments when I came to Kayla. Nothing had been consistently successful in relieving the pain. From day one, Kayla has been fantastic. Not only have I not experienced back pain since working with Kayla, but I have been able to participate more fully in the things I love, such as biking, running, and playing with my kids. Kayla’s breadth and depth of knowledge are incredible, and she has been attentive to my individual needs. I cannot sing her praises highly enough. Working with her has changed my life significantly.
