Corrective Exercise
Our corrective exercise programs address musculoskeletal imbalances through personalized movement assessments. Certified trainers create tailored routines to alleviate pain from hernias, diastasis recti, and pelvic floor issues. Each session includes real-time feedback and video demonstrations for proper form, with progress tracking across weekly check-ins.
Virtual Training
Remote personal training sessions via Zoom connect clients worldwide with expert fitness guidance. Programs include video libraries for home practice, equipment recommendations under $50, and flexible scheduling options. Trainers provide ongoing support through text/email between sessions to ensure proper execution and progress.
Prenatal Fitness
Specialized exercise programs for expectant mothers focus on core stability and pelvic floor health. Certified prenatal trainers modify movements to accommodate changing bodies while maintaining strength and preparing for labor. Sessions emphasize safe exercise parameters and postural adjustments throughout all trimesters.
Hernia Rehabilitation
Non-surgical hernia management programs use targeted strengthening and posture correction to reduce symptoms. Trainers with personal hernia recovery experience teach movement patterns that minimize strain while building core stability. Progress is monitored through functional movement assessments and symptom tracking.
Nutrition Coaching
Certified nutrition professionals provide practical eating strategies that complement fitness goals. Programs focus on sustainable habits rather than restrictive diets, addressing specific needs like postpartum recovery or weight management. Guidance includes grocery shopping tips and meal planning frameworks.

For about 10 years we had the pleasure working with Gina. She came to our house weekly and a few times twice a week to be our personal trainer. She was the type of trainer that made you want to work out without pushing you to the point of not wanting it. She was patient and understanding of your limits. She was extremely accommodating to our schedule and understanding when we had small children under our feet. We highly recommend Gina and Home Bodies and you will not be disappointed.

Gina is amazing! Super knowledgeable, extremely accessible and very effective! She is thoughtful and thorough and considers closely what her clients individual needs and goals are, and is motivating without being at all pushy. She has a broad base of knowledge, and whatever your fitness or nutrition goals, I am positive she can create a plan that works for you. Ive been working with her for around a year, and I couldnt be happier. Shes coached me through pregnancy and I cant wait to start my postpartum recovery and return to exercise with her! I have not worked with any of her other

I have been working with Gina for the past 3 years consistently. Our meetings are virtual yet challenging and extremely beneficial. Gina's knowledge and expertise with not only physical fitness but with the psychology of emotional eating, self sabotage and mindset makes her an exceptional personal trainer. She keeps me on my toes and helps me maintain my consistency which is paramount to managing my work life balance. I highly recommend Gina. She is the best!
