History
We were brought together by love, friendship and fitness. We thought of fitness together as a melody of strength - thus, Movement Duets was born. Movement Duets started out as a lifestyle blog. We talked about how we found and fell in love with our current husbands at the gym (another Movement Duet of sorts), our life outlook and challenges and, of course, fitness. It wasn't until we became pregnant around the same time that we gained an intense interest in pre and postnatal training. We knew through experiences and stories that there had to be a better way to stay connected to your body and to get and stay strong throughout pregnancy and after that didn't involve aches, pains and pee pads. So, we got to work. We left the gym that we were working at and started our own business. We educated ourselves. We took certification courses. We asked questions. We connected with as many professionals as we could so that we can be Salem's trusted pre/postnatal trainers.
