Motherhood is one of the greatest tests of strength—physically, mentally, and emotionally. From sleepless nights to endless responsibilities, mums constantly give their all. But amidst the demands of caring for others, it’s just as important for mums to take time for themselves—to rebuild, recharge, and regain confidence in their own strength.

At PRIMAL, we believe that strength training is one of the most powerful ways mums can reconnect with their bodies and feel their best. It’s not just about lifting weights—it’s about regaining energy, improving posture, and creating a foundation of strength that supports them in daily life.

This Mother’s Day, we spoke to Ruth from Sorella, a dedicated coach who specialises in training new mums. Through her own journey of motherhood and coaching experience, Ruth understands the unique challenges women face when returning to fitness post-baby.

She created these classes from her own personal experience, knowing that training was the lifeline she needed when becoming a single mum and seven months postpartum. Her passion is helping other mums discover the same strength and confidence she found through movement.

Many mums struggle with fatigue, a weakened core, and a lack of confidence in their bodies after pregnancy. Strength training provides a structured way to rebuild muscle, improve stability, and prevent long-term issues like back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. More than that, it empowers mums to feel strong in a way that carries over into every aspect of their lives.

Having access to the right gym equipment and a supportive training environment also plays a crucial role. At Sorella, the focus is on safe, effective movements tailored to each mum’s needs. But not every mum has the time to make it to the gym—and that’s where having the right equipment at home can make all the difference.

For mums looking to begin their strength journey from home, the right equipment can help build confidence and consistency. That’s why we’ve designed the PRIMAL Personal Series Range—perfect for busy mums who want to train effectively in their own space.

With a combination of racks, benches, free weights, and much more, we provide everything needed for a safe and progressive return to strength training. Whether it’s fitting in a quick session during nap time or starting the day with movement, this kit is built to support mums at every stage of their journey.

This Mother’s Day, invest in your strength or support a mum in your life with the tools she needs to feel her best.
