We love the people and being outside.

More on Aimee....
My son is now at the age where he can clap along with us during class and really likes it when we sing to him. He seems so happy and it just makes my heart melt. Now that I am a stay at home mom, Stroller Fit has helped me get motivated and has helped me learn more and more about our community and all the different things that we can do together as a family. Its been a wonderful experience.
Melissa Hirstein
How many kids do you have and how old?
We have one daughter that is 13 months and another daughter due February 9th.
How long have you been attending StrollerFit? We have been attending about 4 months now.
What are your fitness goals?
I wasn't able to work out with my first pregnancy, so I wanted to try to stay in shape with this one. I am also hoping for a quicker turn around after delivery with this pregnancy.
What do you and your kids like about StrollerFit? There is so much we like. All of the other mothers and kids are wonderful. I have met so many great people through StrollerFit. The workouts are outside which I love. It has also given me a lot of energy throughout this pregnancy. I think Brianna likes dancing in her stroller to the music most of all.
What would you tell your friends about StrollerFit? I would incourage all of my friends to try it out. I really think anyone would see how great it is after just one class. Not only do you get to work out with your child, but you also will make some great friends for life.
More on Melissa...
I have been married to my husband Ryan for over 3 1/2 years. We moved to Sarasota a little over 2 years ago and both fell in love with the area. I don't think we will ever leave. I love to spend as much time with my family as possible. My husband and I want our daughters to know how important a healthy lifestyle is. We only get one chance at this life so I try to make it count as much as possible. Live, Laugh, and Love everyday!
Jen McClain
How many kids do you have and how old?
Just Kennedy and she is 20 months.
How long have you been attending StrollerFit?
June 2006.
What are your fitness goals?
To be as fit and healthy as possible. It is more difficult as a mom. You don't always have the time and energy that you use to have.
What do you and your kids like about StrollerFit?
I love the workouts (especially the circuit on Tuesday), the great group of women, the kids, the instructors. There is nothing I don't like. Kennedy loves the bubbles, music, kids, and dancing to Shout.
What would you tell your friends about StrollerFit?
That it is the best! It is such a blessing to be able to workout with friends and other moms that are experiencing what you are going through as a mom. Also, to have the assurance that your kids are right there with you and healthy and happy.
More on Jen...... I am a native Floridian and have lived in Sarasota since I was seven. I went to college in Gainesville at University of Florida. I am an attorney but currently not practicing. I love being a Mom. It is by far the best thing ever.

Questions:
Amy Ashton
How many kids do you have and how old?
One: Ava will be 2 in July.
How long have you been attending StrollerFit?
Since December 2005
What are your fitness goals?
When I initially joined, it was to lose the baby weight. Now, it is to keep pushing myself to become as fit as possible.
What do you and your baby like about StrollerFit?
There are so many great aspects of the class - being able to work out with Ava is fun and sets a great example for her to experience all of us enjoying it, the challenging workout (there are times when I am sore the next day), the friendships with the awesome moms and their children, and the convenience of the class locations. I look forward to class each morning and it's a great way to start the day. The Dads' classes are fun too!
What would you tell your friends about StrollerFit?
Try it once and you will be hooked
Carole Fetterman
How many kids do you have and how old?
One boy, Miles. He's 16 mos. And one baby girl on the way. We are due July 7, 2007!
How long have you been attending StrollerFit?
I think since a year ago May. Wow, can't believe it's almost been a year!
What are your fitness goals?
Originally, I wanted to loose the last few "baby-fat" pounds and get into better shape. Currently, I just
want to be the healthiest I can be to my unborn child AND a strong Mommy to my 26 pound son!
What do you and your baby like about StrollerFit?
We love the friends that we have made! Miles looks forward to seeing the other babies. I can just see the satisfaction he gets when he sees so many other
people his size! Me? I love the support I get from the other Moms. It's a great release to talk Mommy talk!
What would you tell your friends about StrollerFit?
I would tell my friends that it's a positive
experience all around. You meet friends, you stay fit, you learn about nutrition AND you get to know yourself a little bit better, too. It's a great way to get out of the house and a wonderful escape from a
lot of what we deal with on a day-to-day basis, as Moms.

What do you and your baby like about StrollerFit? I love StrollerFit! I have made some great friendships that I would not trade for the world. The boys like it too... even though there behavior doesn't always say it! :) Know what I mean?!?!?!
What would you tell your friends about StrollerFit? I tell every one about StrollerFit! (You know that!) I tell them about what a "butt-kickin" workout it is (for real) and about all the amazing girls I have met and continue to meet. Oh- and what an AWESOME INSTRUCTOR!!!!

What do you and your baby like about StrollerFit?
I love the comraderie from StrollerFit. All the parents support each other in more than just fitness goals. Also, there is always someone there to give you the extra push in your workout when you just want to give up because you have been up all night with a crying baby. Lexie loves being around the other babies and gets a kick out of watching me exercise. I am modeling a healthy lifestyle for her, as well.

That StrollerFit is an excellent workout for ALL fitness levels. There is something for everyone. If you want a good workout in supportive, yet challenging environment with good people, then StrollerFit is perfect for you! I absolutely love it!!!
