Frequently asked questions

No! Madison trains ALL women, whether you're working toward fat loss, building strength, preparing for your wedding or wanting to feel more confident in the gym. Prenatal and postpartum fitness are specialties, but you don't have to be a mom to be part of Arlotte. Your goals deserve a plan of their own!

Start with your current experience, available time and where you want to train. The Fourth Trimester focuses on gentle postpartum movement. The Nap Time Edition offers shorter home workouts. The At-Home Edition brings more challenging strength training to your home gym, and The Return Edition is designed for a full gym. If you're unsure, Madison is happy to help! Reach out at madison@arlottefitness.com.

No! Choose the edition that fits your current abilities and needs. Completing an earlier edition doesn't automatically mean you're ready for the next. Your recovery, exercise experience and any medical restrictions matter, too.

The editions are structured workout plans you follow independently. With 1:1 coaching, you work directly with Madison through the app on a personalized plan, with check-ins, messaging and adjustments based on your goals and progress. Individual coaching is not included with the downloadable editions.

Only The Return Edition requires access to a full gym. The Fourth Trimester uses bodyweight movements, while The Nap Time and At-Home editions use home workout equipment. Equipment recommendations are listed with each program. Your 1:1 coaching plan can be built around the equipment you have available.

After purchasing, you'll receive an email with a link to download your PDF. Save it to your phone, tablet or computer so it's ready whenever you find a little time for yourself!

Yes! The booklets include clickable contents and movement dictionaries to help you find what you need. For booklets with fillable workout logs, use a PDF app that supports forms and save your changes after entering them.

Each edition includes an alphabetical movement dictionary with brief instructions. Familiarize yourself with the movements before starting your week. For unfamiliar gym equipment, ask a gym staff member to demonstrate the setup before adding weight. You don't have to know everything before you start!

Yes! Virtual prenatal coaching is available through the Arlotte app. Your plan is personalized to your experience, equipment and stage of pregnancy, with workouts that evolve from trimester to trimester and adjust as your needs change. Clearance from your OB-GYN or maternity care provider is required before beginning.

Before starting, receive clearance from your maternity care provider for the type of exercise you intend to do and share any restrictions. Your postpartum appointment is a starting point for that conversation. Readiness for gentle movement, heavier lifting and jumping can differ. There's no pressure to match anyone else's timeline. Arlotte programs provide fitness guidance and do not replace medical care or pelvic-floor rehabilitation.

Pause when you need to. These plans are meant to fit into your life, and some days won't go as planned! You don't need to squeeze missed sessions together or restart the whole plan. Resume when you're ready, allowing time for recovery between sessions. With 1:1 coaching, Madison can help adjust your schedule around what's happening in your life.

Absolutely! If you decide you'd like a personalized plan, more accountability or ongoing guidance, inquire with Madison about coaching. Arlotte edition purchasers receive priority consideration for available 1:1 coaching spots before new clients who haven't purchased a program. You don't need to finish your edition before reaching out!

The Arlotte Collection brings together all four downloadable editions: The Fourth Trimester, The Nap Time Edition, The At-Home Edition and The Return Edition. It gives you several training options to choose from as your schedule, equipment and goals change. Personal coaching is purchased separately.
