Introduce us to your family!

I’m married to Robert, and we have Bennett (almost 5), Carter (almost 2), and Louie (our 9-year-old Black Lab).

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’ve been a member of F4M for almost 5 years. I joined when Bennett was only 3 months old, thanks to my sister-in-law, Danielle, encouraging me to try a class with her. I started off taking Stroller Strides and 360 classes. Then, I joined Body Well a few months after Carter was born. Now, I love taking Stroller classes with my boys and Boost classes at night, solo.

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

We love to go to our lake house in South Haven, MI, play games, build forts, have squirt gun fights, go to the pool and try new parks.

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

You’ll be hooked as soon as you try your first class! The F4M village is unlike any other group of women you’ll meet! Everyone is so welcoming, encouraging and supportive! I’ve met some of my best friends through F4M! The workouts are great and challenging but can be adapted to your level of fitness. Your kids will love going to class, too! Kiddos are incorporated into each stroller workout, and there’s always a fun playgroup or event after class! Joining F4M will be one of the best things you do for yourself!

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville?

F4M Naperville has helped me to gain a fitness routine that I love, helped me to get back in shape after having 2 kids, guided me through meal planning and what meals are best to properly fuel my body, and has allowed me to gain some wonderful friends!
