FIT4MOM Philadelphia

Fit4Mom Philly has been a gift during my postpartum journey. Stroller Strides got me and my baby out of the house, breathing fresh air, and connecting with other moms. The virtual classes are challenging, engaging, and convenient. I'm so grateful for this community!

Love the Fit4Mom Philly community! Both the Stroller Strides and HIIT classes are great workouts and a great way to make mom-friends.

As a new mom, and being new to Philly I didn’t know where to find mom friends. When I saw the women in the park working out with their babies I decided to try a class.

Each class began with an easy icebreaker and introductions while we stretched. This was a great way to learn everyone’s names (and babies names) and feel more comfortable. The workouts were great and gave even more opportunity to interact with the other women. I learned about the play spaces in town, specific tips for baby feeding, nap hacks and more. The women were all so friendly and were excellent resources.

When I was ready to transition back to work, I switched to the evening Fit4Mom HIIT class. These women were mostly working moms with a different set of work life balance tips to share. The workouts were more intense in this baby-free class and without the little ones present I felt like there was even more opportunity to connect and make lasting friendships.

I totally get the reluctance of meeting potential mom friends but Fit4Mom Philly was a win for me. I made lasting friends that I actually had more than just motherhood in common with. Trust me just try it!

Fit4Mom Philly has been both a mental and physical life saver for me! I have always been an active person; even throughout my pregnancy. I thought getting back into my gym routine would be easy...Wow was I wrong! Getting to the gym in the early morning before my husband went to work was nearly impossible and by time he got home I was exhausted. If only there was something I could do in the morning (but not to early) and take the baby with me....that's when I found Fit4Mom Philly!!! Almost a year later...I'm achieving some fitness goals and have made some Mom friends along the way! Fit4Mom has afforded me a great workout without the stress of finding childcare.

Stroller strides was a life saver in those early days of motherhood. It is a fun and challenging workout with a wonderful community of moms. I started about two months postpartum feeling like I had to re-learn how to use my body after pregnancy and childbirth. The instructors give excellent support for early postpartum modifications as you’re rebuilding strength (and severely sleep deprived), as well as variations to increase intensity as you get stronger. It’s also been a great way to meet other moms, many who live nearby, and who have been one of the best resources I’ve found in navigating the challenges that come up as a new mom. And a big plus from having your little ones in class - my now toddler will squat, try to skip, back pedal, sprint, do bridge poses...it’s adorable, and I love that every time she sees a person working out she assumes it’s a mama!
