Kristen’s journey with FIT4MOM began in 2015, shortly after her family moved to a new town. Like many moms, she was adjusting to the challenge of motherhood while feeling a bit disconnected from her new community. While picking up her kids from preschool, Kristen noticed a mom walking through the park district with a stroller and a yoga mat. Intrigued, she wondered what class the mom was attending. After a few months of silently wondering, Kristen finally mustered up the courage to ask. That was the beginning of her FIT4MOM journey.
That friendly mom invited Kristen to a Stroller Strides class, and after her first session, Kristen was hooked. She raved about the experience to her husband, who, in turn, surprised her with a FIT4MOM membership. By the fall of 2015, Kristen had become an instructor, and the rest, as they say, is history. Little did she know that one conversation would lead her to a community that would change her life forever — both personally and professionally.
Nicole’s story was a little different, but equally serendipitous. As a mom of three, she was scrolling through Facebook one night when she saw a post about a FREE Stroller Strides event at her daughter’s preschool. Being the “free stuff” lover that she is, Nicole couldn’t resist and decided to show up the next morning with her 11-month-old. The class, complete with swag and raffle prizes, was the perfect opportunity to check out what FIT4MOM was all about. Just like Kristen, Nicole was hooked from the first class. Within six months, she became an instructor, and less than two years later, she and Kristen found themselves buying the franchise.
