Lynn Duffy is a Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness Trainer based in NYC holding NASM, NSCA, PreNatal and PostNatal certifications. She is CPR, AED certified and a practitioner of the Tupler Technique.

Lynn has worked over the past 12 years perfecting her method of training female bodies and has worked with Victoria’s Secret, Sports Illustrated and supermodels Erin Heatherton, Irina Shayk, Jessica Perez, Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge.

Lynn has found a true passion in helping women during pregnancy and has developed a safe, unique and highly effective prenatal/ postnatal training method. Through her collaboration with expert doctors, midwives, doulas, physical therapists, maternity/fertility specialist, acupuncturists and masseuses, she has developed one of the only tailored prenatal/postnatal programs available. Through this collaboration she has a team of referrals to maximize the comfort and success of the pregnancy. Lynn also has experience with pregnancy issues such as: high risk pregnancy, PCOS, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, placenta previa, previous or scheduled c-sections, V-back attempt after a previous c-section and breached babies.

The method is based on trimesters, weekly and monthly anatomical changes. The program is tailored to each client’s health history, fitness level and goals. Lynn’s goal is to direct her clients to having the most comfortable, healthy, safe, pregnancy, labor and post labor body through exercise. The tailored method is a combination of strength, cardiovascular, flexibility, yoga and Pilates.

Some of the benefits of the program include:
– Limit weight gain. Most clients gain maximum 25 lbs.
– Eliminating or easing of lower back and pelvic pain.
– Exercise increases blood flow to the uterus and placenta. Critical for the babies growth and       development. Mothers who exercise during pregnancy have leaner and smarter babies proven.
– Controlling hormone fluctuations.
– Helping digestion and constipation.
– Better energy and sleep.
– Core/Abdominal strength throughout pregnancy to prevent diastasis (separation of the stomach muscles during pregnancy).
– Preparation for labor/proven shorter labor.
– Limiting c-sections.
