In 2006, Bella Bellies® was designed by mommy Annie Martens to offer other moms a unique exercise program tailored to their unique needs. From her experiences as a mother, Annie became aware of the need to balance fitness and nutrition before, during, after and well into motherhood. However she noticed many people in the fitness industry were not educated on, compassionate towards, and understanding of the unique challenges and pressures a mother faces. From this experience, Annie was inspired to step away from her career in New York City to create Bella Bellies®.

To create Bella Bellies® Annie has combined her background as a certified pilates instructor, certified personal trainer as well as her BFA in dance from the Boston Conservatory where she graduated cum laude. Annie is the featured speaker in the DVD "Prenatal Pilates with the Tupler Technique." Annie has been featured in Kiwi Magazine, Jersey Journal, Max and Fitness Magazine and many more popular publications. Annie is the creator of Stroller Moves® and Momilates® offered at Bella Bellies®. Annie is available via email: info@bellabellies.com.
