Building confidence and community

In December 2024, we worked with Empodera in Rio de Janeiro to train a powerful group of 11 women to become community-based coaches. Many of them already work as personal trainers, psychologists, or educators. During an intensive training, they were introduced to the Mom in Balance method and learned how to guide pre- and postnatal workouts using the Pink Band as a tool to support women during and after pregnancy.

The sessions were full of energy, laughter, dancing, and joy - but above all, they reflected the deep dedication of these women. They are passionate about supporting (teen) moms - not only through movement, but also by sharing knowledge about the changing female body, and by building confidence, connection and resilience.

These future coaches are now shaping safe and supportive spaces within their communities, where young mothers can move freely, feel seen, and grow stronger together. At the same time, they are building toward financial independence and becoming powerful role models in their neighborhoods.

We’re proud to share that all 11 women have also enrolled in the official Mom in Balance Trainer Course. By the summer of 2025, they will be fully certified Mom in Balance Trainers - ready to continue this ripple effect of empowerment with professional tools, knowledge and inspiration.

In partnership with Empodera and Women Win, the Pink Band Movement continues to expand a global wave of empowerment - where sports and sisterhood come together to create real, lasting change.
