Unexpected New Office Space Has Moms Pumping—and Not Just Milk

What’s more intimidating: walking into your first post-baby office meeting or trying to sneak in a bicep curl in the supply closet without Janet from HR catching you mid-rep? Honestly, I can’t decide—both come with a side of judgment and possibly, if you’re clumsy like me, some dropped dumbbells. Anyway, in a stroke of pure, bench-press-level genius, Leiderman Insurance just introduced a private ‘pumping iron’ room for new moms . Yup, gone are the days when postpartum employees had to turn broom closets into rogue weightlifting dens just to bust out some skullcrushers between client calls. Now, not only can they max their delts in peace, but there’s even a fridge handy for that all-important Muscle Milk—finally, corporate America understands priorities . If you’ve ever wondered whether the glass ceiling could be shattered by a power clean, grab your gym bag and curiosity — this office upgrade is raising the bar (literally). LEARN MORE.

TUCSON, AZ—In a move that has earned praise from women’s rights advocates, local business Leiderman Insurance reportedly unveiled a dedicated space Friday for lactating mothers to discreetly pump iron in the office. “It’s essential that employers provide a private, functional weight room where new mothers can comfortably pump iron at work when the need to make gains arises,” said postpartum Liederman employee Aria Desrochers, expressing gratitude that she was no longer forced to duck into a cramped bathroom stall or utility closet every few hours to discreetly max out her delts. “It felt degrading to have to drag my dumbbells out to my car every time I needed to get some reps in, and being a new parent is hard enough without the judgmental looks from coworkers for deadlifting in common spaces. Now that I have a safe, clean place to bang out skullcrushers on the clock, I can quietly slip away from my desk to work in a compound superset, and no one has to know. They even put a small refrigerator in there for me to store my Muscle Milk.” Desrochers went on to say that the company had generously offered her an additional eight months of paid bodybuilding leave.
