Mother

Moms struggling with their strollers on subway steps is an all-too-common sight these days in New York, especially since over 300 New York stations still lack elevators.

So this Mother’s Day, we decided to tackle a very New York problem with M.A.M.A. Training: Men Assisting Moms Ascending.

You see some crazy stuff in workout classes these days. But none have taken the idea of functional fitness quite as literally and intensely as our M.A.M.A. Training. Forget dumbbells, barbells, or kettlebells; this workout uses the humble stroller to make sure the men of New York City are strong enough to step up, literally, when a mom needs it most.

As seen in the promotional video, the workout class includes exercises such as overhead stroller step-ups, stroller squats, and overhead stroller presses.


To those who want to make sure they’re strong enough, or confidently think they already are, we hosted a M.A.M.A. Training at functional fitness gym True North Training in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Saturday, May 9.
