Our story


A busy life is a happy life! Honestly, with kids, friends, work and a packed agenda, it's quite a challenge. Our mission is to help as many (soon-to-be) mothers as possible achieve a strong, energetic foundation through our network of positive women. When you feel physically and mentally good, it's easier to make the right choices, work on your personal ambitions and enjoy your family.

Our mission


"WE TOUCH WOMEN'S LIVES AROUND THE WORLD, INSPIRE THEM TO BE FIT AND HEALTHY, TO BE AT THEIR BEST. WE BELIEVE IN A POSITIVE AND PERSONAL APPROACH. WE WILL DO THE BEST WE CAN. ALWAYS."

Where it started


Meet our founder: Esther van Diepen. Mother of four, successful entrepreneur and passionate athlete. She lived in New York with her family and discovered the culture of exercising (soon-to-be) mothers in city parks. This inspired her idea for Mom in Balance! Working with experts, she developed our unique sports program. In 2008, she returned to the Netherlands to launch it here… and the rest is history.

Mom in Balance


We offer outdoor training for pregnant women, postnatal recovery and total body workouts for women. Our sessions help you build strength and improve fitness, plus boost energy and positive mindset. Research shows exercise benefits extend beyond physical gains. Sports increase social connection, confidence, focus and empathy – exactly what you need in early motherhood! Through exercise, you can do more and stay balanced.

We have over 20 years of experience with trainers in nearly all Dutch parks and internationally. Join us at any location!
