Introduce us to your family!

I have been with my wonderful husband, Dan, for 12 years. We have two girls, Chloe (6) & Mia (2.5)

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?

Technically since March 2023. I decided I wasn’t happy with how I was feeling after my 2nd daughter was born. I wanted to do something for myself so I joined Body Well. However my older daughter was diagnosed with leukemia the same day the session was starting. That was the first moment I got to experience the amount of support that can be gained from the village, especially people who didn’t know me or my children.

Months later when we were in a good spot I made it a point to come back for my own sanity and its the best thing I could have done.

Since then, I’ve enjoyed multiple Body Well sessions, Boost, Barre & Stroller Strides classes.

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

We love to get outside and go to our local parks. We also love to spend time relaxing at our family lake house.

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

Doo ittt! It really does take a village, even for ourselves as moms. Everyone is so welcoming. There is something for everyone— classes, events, friends to be made. There are moms of every shape, size, background, fitness level— There’s no judgement, just encouragement and support.

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville?

A huge sense of community. I’ve met many awesome women in all phases of motherhood and I feel better knowing I’m actively doing something to benefit myself. Even when I’ve gotten away from my own goals the instructors and other moms are there to bring me back into the fold. So happy to have found Fit4Mom!
