What is it
You don't need to be a specialist.
You don't even need to be a coach. You just need to care about getting it right for the women you work with - or for yourself.
Hatch Academy Workshops are two-hour sessions with our clinical lead Aby - getting stuck into the real-world stuff that actually comes up. The pregnant CrossFitter. The postpartum athlete coming back. The pelvic floor questions that nobody quite knows how to answer.
One topic. Two hours. In a gym environment. Aby leading. You bringing questions.
Our first workshop will be at The Farm Gym, WD6 3QU.

Each Workshop will deep-dive on one topic. See our schedule below:
Managing Leaking
Why and when does it happen? Tips and tricks to manage leaking whilst maximising their workout - skipping, box jumps, and lifting, and how to have those difficult conversations (especially as a male trainer)!
Lifting & Bracing for Women
A lifting workshop with female anatomy in focus. Learn how to work with women who want to keep lifting who have an injury history, prolapse, leaking, or who are pregnant or postpartum.
Training in Pregnancy: The Basics
What's safe, what's smart, and what to do when she tells you she's expecting.
Led by
Aby Tobin.
Pelvic Health Physio & Clinical Lead at Hatch
Aby is a specialist Pelvic Health Physio and Clinical Lead for Hatch Athletic and HATCH COACH. She's on a mission to bring Sports Medicine and Pelvic Health together. She started her physiotherapy career over 11 years ago focusing on Sports Medicine, having been a track and field athlete competing at national level — working with athletes across a wide range of sports from recreational to elite, with her passion being the exercise rehabilitation aspect of care.
Aby's been teaching perinatal exercise rehabilitation to health and exercise professionals for the last 5 years, and works with patients all over the world who want her unique approach to navigating pregnancy and postpartum.
When she's not at her desk reading research or in clinic with a patient, you'll find her at the gym trying to become a CrossFitter, or at the park with her two energetic boys.

Your questions.
Where will the Workshop be held?
Our first Workshop is at The Farm Gym, The Farm, Woodcock Hill Farm Gate B, Barnet Lane, Elstree, WD6 3QU.
There's plenty of parking on site, so feel free to drive — no permits or back-streets to worry about.
Future Workshops will be hosted at different CrossFit gyms across the UK — locations will always be shared on this page ahead of booking, so you'll know exactly where you're heading before you book your spot.
What time does the Workshop run?
The first Workshop runs from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Sunday 7 June. Doors open from 1.15pm so you've got time to settle in.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself, some water, and a notebook if you like to scribble. Wear comfortable training kit — there will be practical elements. Aby will share any pre-reading or prep ahead of the day.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are non-refundable. If you can't make it, you're welcome to transfer your ticket to a colleague — just drop us a message to let us know who's coming in your place.
Does this certify me to work with pregnant or postpartum women?
No — Hatch Academy is a CPD-style learning experience, not a certification. It's perfect as a taster, top-up or supplement to your existing qualifications. If you want to specialise properly, that's HATCH COACH.
Is this a good intro to HATCH COACH?
Yes — Workshops are a great way to spend time with Aby, get a feel for her teaching style, and see what working with the Hatch approach is like before committing to the full certification.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to do better by the women in their gym. Coaches, PTs, physios, clinicians — and the women themselves who train and want to learn. You don't need to be a specialist or be HATCH COACH certified to attend.
I'm a physio — can I come?
Yes — absolutely! Hatch Academy Workshops are designed for physios, PTs, fitness coaches, clinicians and anyone who works with women. Whether you want to build out your perinatal knowledge as a physio, or you're a coach who wants to better support female clients, you're in the right room.
Will Workshops be recorded?
Hatch Academy is in-person by design — the hands-on, in-the-room format is what makes it work. That said, recordings are something we're working on, so keep your eyes peeled.
