Each month our team picks one mama in Our Village to recognize for her amazing spirit and embodiment of FIT4MOM. The decision is never an easy one because we have so many amazing women in this village. This month we are honoring Courtney -- who gives her all at every single class and is always so welcoming to each and every mama, whether they are there for their 1st class or 100th class.

Thanks for being such an amazing part of Our Village, Courtney <3

Read on to learn more about Courtney and her FIT4MOM journey!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Where did you grow up? I was born in Placerville, CA, but I grew up in Plainfield, IL.

Tell us who is in your family: Nate and I have been together for 11 years, married for 8. We waited a long time and went through a lot to bring our son Dexter into this world. He just turned 3 and brings so much fun and spice into our lives.

What is your current/previous career? I am fortunate to be able to be a stay at home parent. Before having Dexter, I worked for a small accounting firm doing accounting/bookkeeping.

How did you find Fit4Mom? Funny enough, my dental hygienist told me about it!

What is your favorite Fit4Mom class and why? I love Stroller Strides because I'm able to get in a nice workout while chatting with other moms and Dexter gets to play with friends afterwards.

What class do you want to try but haven't yet? I'd like to try Body Ignite.

How has Fit4Mom impacted your motherhood journey? Being a part of Fit4Mom has helped me create a community of support and friendship. I've cultivated several meaningful friendships for both Dexter and I. Being a SAHM can be a very lonely and isolating experience, and this group is the perfect remedy. I am forever grateful for this tribe.

Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us! Although I don't do much of it currently, I love to paint. The accounting side of me is very clean and organized while my artist side is a total hot mess!
