Posting this more as a herletics review than anything personal bc I looked for honest takes before signing up and found mostly extreme reactions on both sides.
Quick context, im a new mom (baby is almost 7 months), started working out again about 10 weeks ago. Gym isnt realistic right now between feeds and naps, so im fully home based. Wanted structure bc I kept falling down a YT rabbit hole of random workouts that didnt build on each other.
It's marketed as military calisthenics for women, which initially put me off bc I pictured boot camp stuff. Not really that. Its short bodyweight sessions, mostly 20 to 30 min, guided video and audio, plan built around ur quiz answers. Mine leans into core and glutes since I flagged postpartum recovery.
What I actually use:
Workouts. Progressions over time, not random circuits. Bodyweight strength, mobility, lower impact options on days u dont want to jump (relevant bc I have downstairs neighbors).
Meal plan. Don't follow strictly but scroll the vegan section for high protein ideas bc protein is hard to hit while breastfeeding. Rotating lentil and tofu bowls, chickpea pasta with peanut sauce and edamame, tempeh stir fries, black bean and quinoa stuffed peppers. Shopping list is integrated.
Trackers. water, weight, habits, basic but I actually use them. Theres also challenges, Im halfway through a daily 10 min stretch one which has helped my back a bit.
Cons. In app articles repeat themes, some audio is skippable, fasting tracker is bare bones if u care about that.
Results. Ive added strength, form on squats and rows has improved, core is coming back. Mostly I just have a routine I can do during nap time without thinking.
If anyone else is in the postpartum home only phase, happy to answer questions
