Momleta Alameda & Oakland

Hi Franny! I recommend checking out Momleta bootcamp at Lake Temescal in Oakland. Classes are Mon - Thur 9:30-10:30am. You can bring your kids and it's a great community of moms. The workout has modifications for different fitness levels and the instructors are specially trained in postpartum fitness. I'm currently on maternity leave doing classes with my 2 month old 3 days/week and really enjoying them! Here's the link: https://www.momleta.com/mommy-and-me-fitness-exercise-classes-near-me/c…

I absolutely love Momleta, so second the other recommendations.  The classes are fun and cater to a really wide range of activity/fitness levels so you can build on or take it easier as is appropriate for you.  I started coming at 3 months postpartum and am still coming nearly two years later - the classes have evolved as I have. Mary creates an incredibly warm, welcoming environment - whether you bring a baby, older child, or come alone.  If your baby is crying, no one minds! And Mary will offer to push the stroller or hold them so you can get your workout in. The people are super friendly and I love knowing I am not only coming for a great workout but also to be around a community of like minded moms.  I've even made friends at Momleta that I see outside of classes!  Working out by Lake Temescal in the fresh air with Momleta is one of my favorite parts of my week.  Can't recommend highly enough!

Hi Franny, it sounds like the “Momleta” workout class at Lake Temescal in Oakland could be a great fit! It’s a workout class for parents, postpartum or at any stage of life and many people bring their baby or children (of any age). Mary, the instructor, is very knowledgeable about all things postpartum and gives many ways to adjust exercises to be appropriate for each stage of pregnancy and/or postpartum. It’s a really fun group of people in a beautiful space - I’ve really enjoyed working out with my little ones there! Here’s the website if you want to check it out - https://momleta-alamedaoakland.pike13.com/schedule#/list?dt=2025-03-06&…

Hi! I highly recommend Momleta. The Oakland classes are held Monday-Thursday 9:30-10:30 at Lake Temescal which is so lovely. Mary, the owner/instructor is extremely knowledgable about postpartum exercise - not only to keep you safe/avoid injury, but also to heal your body/address diastasis. Moms of all stages attend with babies/toddlers in strollers or even older kids. The class has a very welcoming feeling to all levels of fitness with modifications to fit any needs.bThere's also a Momleta franchise in Kensington if that location is easier.

I strongly recommend Momleta! It has saved my mental health after having my second baby almost 3 years ago, and I still go now! Great workout, great community, great to get outside! First class is always free and they meet at lake temescal Monday- Thursday at 9:30-10:30. There’s also a class in Kensington park.

Check out Momleta in Oakland, run by Mary McQueen. She specializes in postpartum exercise and babies/kids often come to the classes. She also does personal training. I've been going to both classes and personal training with Mary since my first kid was born in late 2020. 

Hi there,

You may have already heard of Momleta, but I'm writing to recommend it in case you haven't. The Oakland classes are at Lake Temescal, and there's now a group that meets in Kensington Park as well (Momleta North Berkeley). I've been to both and can vouch for the quality of the instructors and community, plus babies and toddlers are welcome. Hope that's helpful!

I recommend Momleta--they have a class in Oakland and in Kensington. I've been to both and both the teachers are great. People bring babies and sometimes older kids too. Bonus, it's a really nice community and good way to connect with other moms!

Check out Mary McQueen at Baby Boot Camp Oakland (https://babybootcamp-alamedaoakland.frontdeskhq.com/staff_members).  She offers both private training as well as exercise classes for postpartum mothers.  During class Mary offers specific modifications based on how long postpartum you are as well as for C-Sections and Diastasis Recti.  I went to 2-4 classes a week while on leave- they helped me to get slowly back in shape and gave me an opportunity to meet some local moms.
