A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
I am an elementary education teacher in West Milford, NJ and I am the proud
mommy of two very adorable children, Zachary (now 3) and Emma (now 2).
I began FIT Beginnings while on maternity leave with my children. After the birth of
my daughter, I began searching for an interactive class that I could participate in
with her. Being the mother of two children, I felt that I didn't get enough one on one
time with my daughter as I did with my son when he was an infant. Try as I might, I
couldn't find one that INCLUDED her. I didn't just want to exercise, I wanted to
spend QUALITY time with her. Since nothing seemed to meet my needs, I decided
to start my own class. Thus, FIT Beginnings was born!
Now, more than two years later, FIT Beginnings has grown (as have my children)
tremendously. My children and I have gained so much from the programs and I am
very proud of the benefits the classes provide to the children and parents.
WHAT SETS THE CLASSES OF FIT BEGINNINGS APART FROM THE REST:
- As the mother of two babies, I understand the demands and needs of other
mothers. All of my classes provide a support network for mothers through
discussion forums.
- As a dedicated elementary education teacher, I feel that it is important to
integrate learning into the programs. Many classes include activities that strive
to promote reading and math readiness. All of the instructors have extensive
experience with small children and most are elementary education teachers
themselves.
- The classes offered at FIT Beginnings GROW with your child. Classes start
out for babies as small as 3 months and lead up to children as old as 5 years.
- The FIT Mommy classes include the babies in the exercises allowing mothers
to spend QUALITY time with their children while getting a terrific workout!
- All of the classes are very engaging for the children and include time that is
focused on activities "just for baby".
- Also, because I understand wanting to participate in activities with BOTH of my
children, my Play With Me class is designed to be multi-aged so that sibling
can participate TOGETHER!!
