Sometimes motherhood can feel lonely. Especially as moms of little's who need so much of our care and attention. We love our children, but can begin to lose that sense of who we are. Instead of getting up early to hit the gym, we are up all night with fussy babies, or to finish that last bit of housework that has been driving us crazy. We miss those easy friendships we used to have with other women before babies began to monopolize our time and energy.
One mom had a dream to give women back those things that they traded in for motherhood, without sacrificing time with their precious children. Her solution was FIT4MOM.
FIT4MOM brings women together to focus on their well being, both physically and mentally, all with their children in tow. It is a place where moms can work out their bodies, build friendships, and participate in play groups with their little's all at once. FIT4MOM has expanded nationwide to a franchise with over 300 locations, and we are lucky enough to have one right here in Burleson.
Meet Amy. She is the FIT4MOM coach here. Amy began her career as a high school swim coach. She loved coaching and knew it was her passion, but after her babies were born, she began to feel torn. She wanted to be able to pursue her passion of coaching and encouraging others, while also building a life that her children could be fully involved in. Amy stepped out in faith as a FIT4MOM coach and franchise owner and hasn't looked back since!
With FIT4MOM, moms meet a few times a week at various local parks to work-out while their children play. When the work-outs are done, they gather the children for story time, crafts, activities, and even field trips to local businesses. Amy loves the friendships she has formed through FIT4MOM.
According to Amy, "I haven't had this many friends in a close distance since college. It is a blessing. We bring each other meals when new babies arrives or a family member has surgery, sick kiddos end up in the hospital, coffee runs for the momma with little sleep taking care of a sick kid and so much more. We aren't just friends, we are moms joined in sisterhood who are family."
Amy and the FIT4MOM crew invites you and your kiddos to come join them anytime! You can find the play group times and locations on the Macaroni Kid calendar here. The play group is always free, and there are plenty of moms that bring their children out for the play group only.
If you also want to get in shape with the other FIT4MOM ladies, their workout times are 1 hour before the play group starts, at the same location. You can find more information about how to sign up for the FIT4MOM workouts here.
