Where it began
Meet our founder: Esther van Diepen. Mother of four kids, successful entrepreneur and fanatic athlete. Together with her husband and children, she lived in New York for a while and was introduced to the culture of sporting (soon to be) mothers in city parks. That's how she came up with the idea for Mom in Balance! In collaboration with various experts, she laid the foundation for our unique sports program. In 2008 she returned to The Netherlands to roll out the program here... and the rest is history.
Mom in Balance
We provide outdoor workouts for pregnant women, recovery training after delivery and total body workouts for women. Our workouts help you to become stronger and improve your fitness, but they also give you energy and a positive mindset. Research has shown that sport goes beyond the physical. Exercising makes us more social, more confident, able to focus better and empathize better with others. Exactly what you need in the first years of motherhood! You can handle more and stay in balance through sport.
We have more than ten years of experience, and are located in beautiful Parks around Stockholm.
