Introduce us to your family!

I have been married to my husband Scott for almost 10 years. We have 2 amazing kids. Liam is 8 and will fill your brain with more knowledge than you could ever imagine. Addison is 5 ½ and sings and dances her way through life.

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 started with Fit4Mom in June of 2016, before it was even Fit4Mom Naperville. I was looking for something to do with my son during our first summer home. I had signed up thinking it would be a bunch of moms walking with their strollers. I was very wrong, but fell in love with it immediately (even if my muscles felt it the next day). I was so happy to have found a way to get out of the house with a little one & have other moms who were experiencing similar things, all while getting a workout in!

I have tried almost every class Fit4Mom Naperville offers, except Fit4Baby and Run Club. Boost is my favorite with Ignite rapidly climbing into 2nd!

What are your favorite things to do with your family?

We love going to baseball games together, especially to watch the Cubs play. We try to pair a Cubs game & vacations with the ultimate goal of visiting all 30 ballparks. When it isn’t baseball season, we like to head to the movies, zoo, Morton Arboretum, TopGolf, or just have family time at home on the couch watching the newest episode of Lego Masters or Amazing Race.

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

Come try a class! It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, the instructors are amazing at helping modify for any need or fitness level. Once you come to one, you will want to come back. The workouts will challenge you if you let them, but the conversations before, during and after class are the best. These are the women who will check on you when you don’t come one day and will be the people you turn to when you have a question about ANYTHING.

What has been your biggest gain since joining FIT4MOM Naperville?

Aside from my amazing muscles?! My confidence has grown immensely. I know that I have gotten stronger & am less afraid to challenge myself during a workout.
