Introduce us to your family!

My husband, Matt, and I have been together for 20 years (married for 12). We have three kids, Theodore, Abigail, and Jacob.

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 have been a member for F4M Naperville for almost 2 years. My friend, Kristen Corrigan, invited me to a class. It was Bethany’s 360/Ignite mash-up and it kicked my butt! I have been coming ever since. I typically attend Boost, Ignite, and 360/ignite, but you will occasionally see Jacob and me at stroller classes! I have also done body well (shout out to Coach Nina!)

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

We love being outdoors and playing or watching sports. We recently bought a basketball hoop that the kids are excited to start using. We’re very anxious for some nice weather to start coming our way!

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

You will not find a group of more supportive moms. The workouts are challenging, yet fun, and everyone is very inviting. There are always modifications to fit your fitness level. I love that there are some mom only classes as well as some classes where you can bring the kiddos. It truly is made to work around moms.

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville

Since joining FIT4MOM Naperville I have gained so much: a group of supportive moms who truly understand motherhood, more strength, and more balance. I truly feel like I am a better mom. I would say the biggest gain is in my mental health. To have a supportive village who is there when things go wrong, to give myself permission to take an hour for myself, and for my kids to see that I can take time to do something healthy for me has been my biggest gain since joining F4M.
