Introduce us to your family!

My husband, Brian, and I have been together for 13 years and share a wonderful daughter, Chloe. We are thrilled to raise our family in the same city where we grew up and first met!

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 of F4M Naperville for 1.5 years. I’d heard about the group and knew I wanted to try it out even before I became a mom! I attended my first class during the winter when I needed to get out of the house and wanted to meet other moms. I regularly attend Stroller Strides and Body Ignite/360, and I love going to social events including book club and mom outings.

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

My family loves to go for walks, eat out weekly and attend toddler-friendly programs. Chloe is my shopping buddy for garage saleing and bargain hunting! We are looking forward to our first family beach day this month.

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

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or alone as a new parent, the F4M village is an amazing community for connection and support. The instructors are welcoming, the moms are always looking out for one another, and the children have so much fun interacting with each other!

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville?

Physically, I am stronger and healthier now than I’ve ever been as an adult, which feels great! Having the strength and energy to keep up with my toddler every day means a lot to me. But it’s really been the support from this community that is the best part of my experience at F4M. There’s nothing like knowing a great group of people is there for you as you navigate motherhood.
