We make athletic mamas strong again
We are an online postpartum training program for strong mamas to return safely to high intensity fitness
The Program
HATCH is the long-awaited and a uniquely tailored program for strong mamas.
HATCH offers 12 weeks of research-based online postpartum training for women who were used to high intensity cross-training or weight-training before they were pregnant.
Gym or At Home
Juggling caring for your little one and can't break free?! HATCH is designed so you can do it at home if needs be. There's minimal kit requirements too, so no excuses.
We Get It
HATCH is designed by a physiotherapist, athlete and trainer who is also someone just like you - a mum. The programming is trustworthy but also engaging, to meet the needs of that 'athletic' brain. A program that understands the nature of high intensity sport, but also the rehab needs of a postpartum body and mind.
Body and Mind
We support you in navigating motherhood whilst training with intention. We encourage self-kindness and humility during what can be a very full-on time.

NEED (£289)
A game-changer for athletes who:
- Loved training 4-6 times a week in a functional, CrossFit-style or weightlifting gym environment before they were pregnant
- Are familiar with 'going-hard' regularly and loving that feeling
- Are accustomed to pushing their bodies to new limits and seeing results
- Identify as performance driven and competitive (not necessarily with others, but with themselves)
- Are expecting a baby or have recently given birth
Happy Hatch Athletes

Hi I'm Kat
A CrossFit athlete and coach, a physiotherapist and, most importantly a mama.
I created Hatch Athletic because there simply wasn't enough out there when I had my son. I was used to pushing hard and lifting heavy, and knew I needed something very comprehensive if I was going to return to my sport competitively with bulletproof pelvic health. There was no reliable, high-quality programme that offered training for the mind and body, so I decided to create it myself.
I wanted to produce a science-based 12-week programme that felt authentic and real in its approach and led by an athletic mama who has experienced it all.
Welcome to the community of Strong Mamas.

"Hatch Athletic is a breath of fresh air compared to other postpartum training programs. It’s developed for those who have trained in high level sport not just CrossFit. It’s a very clear and concise graduated guide to return to high level fitness. They have worked closely with women’s health physiotherapists to develop an outstanding program for athletic mums. I wish it had been out when I had my son."
