Description

At Body Conceptions by Mahri our mission is to support women on their fitness journey through every stage of life, including the delicate times of fertility, pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and menopause. We specialize in both in-home private training throughout NYC, the Hamptons and Denver, as well as virtual private training with clients all over the country via Zoom. Our method is based in principles of dance, pilates, and barre, creating a full body workout that involves bodyweight sculpting with bursts of cardio, targeting each major muscle group individually. Body Conceptions has become known as the leading personal training company for pre and postnatal fitness in New York, with a mission to help support women through their most difficult life transitions.  Due to fast-growing demand, we are looking to expand our team of highly qualified and intelligent trainers!
