Hey there, I’m Stacey, and I am a proud mom of three sweet kids. Although I am an NC native, I began attending Stroller Strides in San Diego, CA when my husband was deployed in 2011. I joined because I needed mom friends, and I that is exactly what I found! The community feeling in Fit4mom is palpable and it is the reason I kept coming back. I started teaching in July 2017 and now I can't imagine my life without Fit4Mom. I am able to get an amazing workout without having to put my three kids in childcare. I am passionate about all things Fit4Mom because it is so much more than a workout program, it is a village dedicated to strength in motherhood.

Stroller Strides and BodyBack Instructor
Hello! I’m Colleen and I’m the proud mom to two awesome boys. My first is Evan who was born in November 2010 and my second, Zach, was born in February 2013. I’m born and raised in San Diego, Calif., and moved with my family to Huntersville in January 2013. I started going to Stroller Strides when Evan was 7 months and immediately fell in the love with the program. I started teaching in December 2011 and now I can't imagine my life without Stroller Strides. I love the amazing workout it provides for all fitness levels and the community of support it provides for all moms. What better environment to get a workout than with your kids and fellow moms? When I moved to North Carolina, I jumped at the opportunity to invest in opening a franchise in my new neighborhood. I truly believe in this program and the positive impact it will have on your life and I look forward to meeting you at class!

Hi Mommas! I'm Kelly and I'm the extremely blessed mom of three girls, Katie (born 12/2011), Charlotte (born 8/2014) and Adelaide (born 1/2018). I am so excited to be part of the Stroller Strides family. I started attending Stroller Strides because I didn't like leaving Katie at the child watch at the gym and I had little motivation to go to the gym. So boring! I love that Stroller Strides is more than a kicking workout. It's also a place to meet other moms and kids and a terrific support system. Every class is different. I know you'll love it!more

Stroller Strides Instructor
Hi, I’m Emily and I am a happy mommy to a strong and sweet little girl. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York and moved to Charlotte area with my husband in 2010. I joined Stroller Strides when my daughter was 6 months old and I was totally hooked after my first class. I love that the program provides a great workout and that there is such variety to each class. It keeps me motivated to go to as many classes as I can. As a new mom it has been truly amazing to meet so many supportive moms/friends through Stroller Strides. This program and all the wonderful mommas has had such a positive impact on my life. Thanks to stroller strides I have a renewed joy of fitness. I can’t wait to see you at class.

Stroller Strides Instructor
Hi! My name is Amanda Soer and I am the mom to two amazing kiddos! My son Parker is 5 ½ and my daughter Lucy is 3. I attended my first Stroller Strides class in California when my son was about 7 weeks old and I’ve been hooked ever since! I love being able to set such a positive, healthy example for my children and seeing the positive impact it has had on me as a woman and a mom. After my family and I moved to North Carolina in 2016, I was excited to find a new Fit4Mom village here. All of the Fit4Mom programs are amazing and there is truly something for everyone! I look forward to seeing you in class soon!

Hi ladies! My name is Megan and I’m thrilled to be part of the Fit4Mom Lake Norman Village! I started attending Stroller Strides (then BodyBack and RunClub) when I moved to the Lake Norman area in late 2016 with a toddler and an infant after living abroad for 4 years. Fit4mom has changed my life! I’ve made lifelong momma friends, fallen in love with working out all over again and my kids (Anna and Henry) have seen how exercise makes me a stronger, happier and healthier woman/mom. Thanks to Fit4Mom run club, I recently ran my first race since I was pregnant with Anna and now I’m HOOKED again! I’m so excited to run with you, train with you and get to know you in RunClub. Surrounding myself with such positive, healthy, strong mamas each week fills my cup and I can’t wait to meet you!
When I’m not running, you can find me baking, eating yummy food, traveling, teaching English online to young children in China and spending time outside with my family and dog.
