Kids Playdate

Kids Playdate at Inside Playground in Watertown, Wednesday November 4th at 9:30. This place is so much fun! Cars, a bouncy train, ball pit, and more. $10/child but kids under 6 months are free. If you have a real young one, still come and hang out!
Let me know if you have any good ideas for future moms nights and playdates!

Moms Night Out

Moms Night Out at Solea...Friday November 13th, 7:30. Tapas and sangria are calling your name (unless you're pregnant, then you get a mocktail...)

Introducing the Muscle Bar

When we move indoors, I'll be introducing the MUSCLE BAR! I'm very excited about introducing this piece of equipment to you, as it will really help you take your strength and endurance to the next level. The muscle bar will be a key component in our mommymuscle 8 week challenge (beginning in January)

Fitness Takes No Holiday

Places to go and people to see...
We ALL have excuses for not fitting exercise into our holiday routine.. NO MORE!
This year make time for yourself
and enter the New Year feeling and looking great…

"Fitness Takes No Holiday" begins November 2nd and lasts through December! Each time you come to class (StrollerFit or Restore the Core), you can receive points. She with the highest attendance percentage* wins! Prizes TBD, but we all know the real reward is the changes you will see in your body. Exercise is essential for keeping us healthy during the holidays, so make yourself a priority! There will be FIVE class days that will receive double points...which ones are they? Well, that's a secret...

Restore the Core

New Restore the Core session begins Wednesday, November 4th at the Shorin-Ryu Karate Academy in Waltham. A six week session with no class November 25th. Cost is $60 ($50 for SF members). Bring a friend and I'll knock another $5 off your cost. Please let me know if you plan on attending, since spots are filling up quickly and space is limited.

Halloween StrollerFit

Halloween StrollerFit is Saturday, October 31 at 9 AM. A festive start to your day! Dress your kids in costume and we'll enjoy a Halloween themed class. Juice, bagels, and pictures after class, and a goody bag for everybody who attends, so please RSVP so I bring enough.

The title

I stared at the box asking "title of this blog" for almost a half an hour. As a mom and small business owner, I seldom find time to write, but it actually is a big passion of mine, and titles have always been important.

To me, StrollerFit is more than just an exercise program for moms and their babies. I struggled with post partum depression after my son was born, and joining StrollerFit was the turning point for me. It provided structure to my days, something to look forward to, a way to connect with my baby, and a great group of friends. Oh, and did I mention a great workout? I lost weight, toned my body, and felt better about the way I looked.

I used to feel shy promoting StrollerFit. But a colleague made me realize that every mom I see could be feeling just like I did at the beginning--sad, lonely, and bored. And if I didn't invite her to StrollerFit, that could be the worst thing for her.

Many people hear of StrollerFit and think, "Oh yeah, a bunch of moms walking with their babies." But to me, it is much more than that. It helped me feel like myself again.
