I didn't even ask specifically about the gym since I canceled my gym membership to save money. But at my 6 week pp appt I was cleared for everything.

After my 5 week check-up she said i could go back to working out, but ease back into it. I only walked for the first few weeks and now 9 weeks pp I am running again.

I was told I could resume light exercise when I felt up to it as long as it didn't increase my bleeding.  I started walking in the first week and doing the elliptical slowly the 2nd week.  I did wait to start running until my 6 week appt. last Friday.

I think it also makes a difference how active you were during pregnancy and what your delivery was like.  I worked out until the day before I delivered and had an easy delivery and only a tiny tear which is why I think I did ok being active quickly.
