About
Athlexa was founded in 2021 by Emma Richardson, a physical therapist and mom who experienced firsthand the struggle of trying to rebuild postpartum strength while caring for a newborn.
After abandoning yet another gym membership she couldn't use, Emma created a simple 5-minute resistance routine in her living room—and felt stronger in 8 weeks than she had in over a year.
The result? A complete postpartum recovery system designed for busy moms who need exercises that are:
- Safe for diastasis recti and pelvic floor healing
- Effective in just 5-15 minutes
- Doable at home without childcare or expensive equipment
Today, over 3,200 moms in 40+ countries have rebuilt their strength with Athlexa.
Our mission: Help 100,000 postpartum women feel strong, confident, and proud—without guilt, shame, or unrealistic expectations.
