Kimberly Desmond lives in Aurora with her husband, Neil, and her sons, Marshall (4) and George (2). After graduating from Augustana College, she began teaching Kindergarten, first on the Northwest side of Chicago and eventually in Wheaton, where she is still teaching Kindergarten, 13 years and counting! She joined FIT4MOM Naperville in the spring of 2021 in hopes of meeting local mom friends and incorporating fitness back into her life. Becoming a mom during the pandemic made for a lonely first year of motherhood, and from the moment she joined F4M, she knew she had found something special.

She loves the strength and confidence that come with attending classes, and the support she feels from this incredible village. Being part of the F4M community and participating in BW/Boost has helped incorporate regular movement and a healthier lifestyle for her family, which everyone benefits from! It makes her happy to see her boys mimicking workouts they’ve watched from their stroller during class, and seeing mama prioritize her own health and “me time” with moms-only classes. As the FIT4BABY instructor, Kimberly is so excited to help new mamas connect with each other and build community in a way she wasn’t able to during her first pregnancy. She looks forward to leading expecting moms through effective, safe, whole body workouts during their pregnancies and helping them feel supported and welcome in our F4M community.

You can usually find Kimberly at Boost classes during the school year, 360 classes during summer break, and at most book club meetings and other fun F4M social events. Outside of F4M and teaching Kindergarten, Kimberly enjoys spending time outside no matter the weather with her very active boys, checking out new and favorite breweries with her husband, baking, cooking, and reading.
