Bridging the Gap: Integrating Gym-Based Childcare For Non Communicable Disease Prevention in Post Partum Women

Background: Postpartum women face elevated risks of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. Despite well-documented benefits of physical activity, many mothers struggle to meet recommended activity levels due to structural, social, and psychological barriers, chief among them being a lack of childcare support.
Objective: This narrative review examines the intersection between postpartum physical activity, gym accessibility, and childcare availability, identifying existing policy gaps and proposing gym-based childcare services as a pragmatic and equity-driven solution to promote maternal health.
Methods: A narrative review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Studies published between 2019 and 2024 focusing on postpartum women’s health, physical activity, childcare barriers, and NCD prevention were included. Twenty (20) peer-reviewed articles were analyzed thematically to identify recurring barriers, facilitators, and gaps in policy and program design.
Results: The thematic synthesis identified three primary themes: 1) Exercise as Clinical Therapy for mental health (e.g., PPD); 2) Structural and Cultural Inequities that impede access (e.g., childcare burden, modesty requirements); and 3) Policy Deficits in integrating fitness and healthcare. Findings reveal persistently low physical activity rates among postpartum women, largely due to childcare burdens, fatigue, time constraints, and lack of tailored gym programs. Despite high-level evidence supporting exercise as a clinical treatment for postpartum depression (Deprato et al., 2025), structural inequities such as the absence of childcare in fitness centers and poor urban planning further limit access.
Conclusion: Postpartum physical activity remains a strategy that is not adequately implemented for NCD prevention. Integrating childcare services into gyms offers a promising, community-based solution that promotes both maternal well-being and gender equity. Multisectoral collaboration among healthcare, urban planning, and fitness sectors is urgently needed to make physical activity accessible and sustainable for postpartum women.
