Elisabeth Simpelo - June 2024

Introduce us to your family!

Hi I'm Elisabeth, my husband Chris and I have been married for almost 10 years and we have 2 beautiful kids, Ferris (5) and Este (3) and 2 cats Stella & Stitch.

How long have you been a member of F4M Naperville? What made you come to your first class and which classes have you participated in?

I joined F4M Naperville in March of 2021 a few months after my daughter was born. I had been part of a different chapter for 3 years but Bethany Giles convinced me I needed to check out Naperville and I never looked back.

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

Watch movies & listen to music together, take walks at the arboretum, have a lazy morning in bed, and go on family adventures on the weekends!

What would you say to a mom considering joining our village?

Don’t let anxiety or insecurity hold you back! This is such a welcoming community and there is no judgement. Try out different classes to see what you like and you will find your people. And don’t be afraid to ask questions when you are struggling, there is always somebody that has had a similar experience and has insight or resources that can help!

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville?

This is a toss up between the Soldier Field 10 mile race (my longest run ever) I did last month with my fellow Run Club + members and all the wonderful friendships I have gained over the last three years. I don’t think I could pick one!
