Prenatal Fitness Instructors face unique challenges: Every client is at a different trimester, so the modifications change week to week as their bellies grow. Clients cycle out for childbirth, then I lose them unless I catch them for postpartum classes. I need each client's due date and any OB clearance or complications on hand before I program a session. Bed rest, early labor, or a doctor's hold cancels a regular with no notice and I refund or hold their package. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Prenatal Fitness Instructor earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

My morning class is a circle of pregnant clients spanning first trimester to thirty-eight weeks, so before anyone arrives I'm reviewing who's where. The newly pregnant client can still do most things; the one near term needs everything off her back and a ball to sit on. I lead a gentle warm-up, cue pelvic-floor breathing, and run modified strength with light dumbbells, watching for anyone getting dizzy or overheated. I keep their due dates and any notes — gestational diabetes here, a doctor's clearance to exercise there — in mind as I adjust on the fly. One client mentions her OB flagged her blood pressure, so I scale her down and tell her to check back with her doctor. After class we talk babies and birth plans, and a client at thirty-nine weeks says today's probably her last session before delivery, so I let her know about the postpartum class and the pelvic-floor recovery series. Midday I'm programming next week, adjusting each woman's plan as her trimester advances, and noticing two clients are due within the month — I want to set up their return before they disappear into newborn fog. Afternoon admin is the usual tangle: who paid for the prenatal package, who's on a payment plan, and the client on bed rest whose remaining classes I'm holding rather than refunding. Evening, I send a check-in to a client who delivered last week, hoping to bring her back for postpartum when she's cleared.
