Confessions of a Group X Instructor

Pelvic Floor Education & Empowerment with Paige Robinson


Listen Later

Pelvic floor health is one of the most overlooked — and most essential — pieces of whole-body wellness. In this episode #94, we’re breaking the silence, removing the shame, and empowering instructors and everyday movers with knowledge they should have learned years ago.

Paige shares practical education, compassionate insight, and actionable tools to help you better understand the pelvic floor, cue it safely in group fitness settings, and support participants without stepping outside your scope of practice.

Whether you’re an instructor, an athlete, or simply someone who wants to feel more confident and connected in your body, this conversation is for you.

  • What the pelvic floor actually is
    We start with the basics: what the pelvic floor is, what it does, and why everyone — regardless of gender or age — should care about it.

  • The pelvic floor’s role in whole-body health
    Learn how the pelvic floor impacts posture, breathing, strength, stability, and movement efficiency — especially for those who move frequently or teach fitness.

  • Cueing the pelvic floor in group fitness
    Practical, safe ways instructors can begin bringing pelvic floor awareness into class without fear, confusion, or over-cueing.

  • When to refer out
    Red flags and symptoms that signal it’s time to see a pelvic floor specialist or physical therapist instead of trying to “fix it” alone.

  • Breaking shame & stigma
    How instructors can normalize pelvic floor conversations and help participants understand they’re not broken — these are muscles that can be strengthened, relaxed, and retrained.

  • Personal journeys
    Ellen and Paige both open up about their own pelvic floor experiences.

  • One thing instructors can do right now
    A simple, actionable takeaway for creating more pelvic floor confidence in your classes — while staying well within your scope of practice.

  • 30 Day Kickstart Program
    We dive into her 30 Day Kickstart Program: who it’s for, what it includes, and how it helps people reconnect with their pelvic floor in a supportive, approachable way.

Pelvic floor education shouldn’t be taboo, confusing, or reserved for crisis moments. This episode empowers instructors to lead with confidence, compassion, and clarity — and helps participants feel safer, stronger, and more informed in their bodies.
