Who Am I, and Why Did I Create Fitness with Fetus?
I’m Krystal Schouten, your Pelvic Floor Fitness Specialist and founder of Fitness Reset in Brantford and I’ve spent the last 10 years helping women build strong foundational cores, prevent leaking, and move without pain through pregnancy and postpartum.
I work alongside pelvic floor physiotherapists and have been a guest speaker at dozens of women’s health events across Brantford and surrounding communities. I’m also the host of Potty Talk — a podcast where we bust the myths and break the stigma around pelvic floor health.
I created Fitness with Fetus because I saw too many women in Brantford searching for safe prenatal fitness classes — unsure what exercises were safe during pregnancy, afraid to lift weights, and wanting more than just “take it easy” advice. There wasn’t a strength-focused prenatal workout that truly supported the pelvic floor, core connection, and preparation for birth.
Fitness with Fetus is your space to build strength during pregnancy, learn proper breath and pressure management, and feel confident in your changing body — all inside a supportive prenatal fitness community in Brantford.
What Moms Are Saying
“Krystal’s classes were a game changer for my pregnancy, birth, and recovery.”
“I have LOVED taking Krystal's classes through pregnancy and postpartum. If you're thinking of signing up, just do it! The environment is super relaxed and Krystal encourages everyone to show up just as they are. Her classes motivated me to stay active and I strongly believe this was a game changer in having a smooth birth and recovery. She's extremely knowledgeable in the area of pelvic health and will always be happy to answer questions in class. Thank you Krystal!”
- Jamie“Highly recommend if you want to feel supported and stay active.”
“Awesome experience with Krystal. I absolutely loved fitness with fetus and fitness with baby. It helped me so much to stay fit while pregnant and during my postpartum recovery. Krystal is kind and intelligent. Highly recommend.”
— Danielle“The modifications made it easy to feel confident and supported through both pregnancy and postpartum.”
“I loved both the Fitness with Baby and Fitness with Fetus programs at Fitness Reset! They helped me to feel strong and confident in my body pre- and post-birth. Krystal provides exercises and modifications that are safe to do and actually help prepare you for birth, and recovery afterwards. I will always recommend Fitness Reset’s programs to birthing people, at any age!”

Yes — you can join at any stage of your pregnancy.
Whether you’re in your first trimester and looking to stay active, or further along and wanting to feel more prepared for labour and recovery, the program is designed to support you.
Each workout is adapted to your stage of pregnancy, energy levels, and comfort — so you can feel safe, supported, and confident in how you’re moving your body.
-
Not at all.
Fitness with Fetus is designed for all fitness levels — whether you were active before pregnancy or you’re just getting started. Every class includes guided instruction, clear demonstrations, and modifications so you can move at a pace that feels good for your body.
The focus isn’t on how “fit” you are — it’s on helping you build strength, improve mobility, and feel more connected to your body throughout pregnancy.
You’ll be supported every step of the way.
-
Nothing — we’ve got you covered.
All equipment is provided at the studio, so you just need to bring yourself in comfortable clothing that you can move and breathe in.
We use a variety of supportive tools to help you build strength safely, improve mobility, and feel good in your body — without needing to think about what to bring or prepare.
-
Yes — absolutely.
Exercises are thoughtfully adapted for each stage of pregnancy, including the third trimester. As your body changes, your workouts will too.
As a certified prenatal and pelvic floor fitness specialist, I guide you through safe, effective movements that support your core, posture, and overall strength — while also helping you prepare your body for labour and delivery.
Every class is designed with your safety (and your baby’s) in mind.
-
Life happens — especially during pregnancy.
If you miss a class, I will add a Fitness with Baby class credit to your account so you can use it once your baby arrives.
It’s my way of making sure you still feel supported — now and into your postpartum journey.
-
Yes — absolutely.
I offer a free discovery call where we can chat about your pregnancy, your goals, and whether Fitness with Fetus feels like the right fit for you.
