My name is Leah and I am so thankful to be this month’s Mom of the Month.

My motherhood journey began in March 2022 when I gave birth to my first son, James. Unfortunately, James unexpectedly passed away. After lots of testing, we were told there was a 50% chance that any of our future babies would also pass away. My husband and I decided to move forward with IVF for genetic testing in order to grow our family and lessen those odds....

Happy October Moms!!

I’m Emma! I’m so honored to be this month’s “mom of the month,” which feels fitting given that I became a mom in October of last year!

I began attending FIT4MOM classes when my son Ibrahim (Ibby) was 3 months old. Having moved to San Diego from NYC while 7 months pregnant, I was craving socialization and a sense of “belonging.” I found FIT4MOM while walking my dog at Liberty Station and have been a regular...

Happy September to my Fit4Mamas!

My name is Gia Maggiore. I am one of the few left, it seems, born and raised right here in beautiful San Diego. I met my husband who is from upstate New York through good friends. On our second date I asked him 2 possible deal breaker questions: 1. “Are you staying in San Diego?” 2. “Do you want kids?” Well, he thankfully passed my quiz, and here we are 5 years later!

I joined FIT4MOM thinking it...

Hi, lovely ladies of FIT4MOM!

My name is Briana Pangle , the honored Mom of the Month in our beloved community. Let me share a little about myself and my journey with FIT4MOM.

I am the proud mother of Asher Dean, a lively 2-year-old whose spunky personality lights up the room. Our weekly visits to FIT4MOM are the highlight of our week, where we get to play, exercise, and connect with our favorite mamas and their little ones....

Hi, y’all!

My name is Willa Shemmassian, and I’m delighted to be the July Mom of the Month.July is a special month for me because it’s the month I became a mom. You will typically find me and my youngest son Melik (age 2) at the Balboa Park or Point Loma locations, though my older son Kami (age 5) joins us at Stroller Strides when he’s off school to “help take care of the babies.”

I was raised in New Orleans. Although I’ve lived...

Hi everyone, I’m Lauren!

I am a proud Mama to my two babies, Dulcie (7) and Alexander (3). I’m so excited to be Mom of the Month for June, mostly because I cannot wait for summer to begin! I love having both my kids home and being able to run around San Diego taking advantage of everything the city offers!

I currently live in Coronado while my husband, Brandon is stationed in San Diego. I remember coming here for a PR conference...

Hey hey!

I'm Macy! I feel pretty honored to be mom of the month for May because I think May has the most special holiday- Mother’s Day! I’m currently in my Mom era jamming to “Let it Go” (on repeat, of course) with my 2-year old daughter Malen and Patxi, my 4-month old baby boy.

Motherhood is truly the best and I’m lucky enough to walk, run, jump through it with an amazing group: FIT4MOM. As a Pelvic floor physical therapist,...

Hey Mamas!

I’m Mairead, it’s pronounced like parade but with an m AND yes I will introduce myself that way the first time I meet you! I was born and raised in Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York, but sadly I’ve lost the accent. On occasion you’ll hear it resurface if you’re lucky. I am so honored to be April’s mama of the month as April marks one whole year of being back on the west coast.

I am a military spouse and girl mom! This...

Hi all, I’m Frankie

Mom to Cam (Camille), who’s almost 2, and Tom (Thomas) who is 7 months.

It’s pretty fitting that I was asked to be mom if the month for March, since my own mother, the most influential person in my life, was born in March, and I myself became a mother in the same month. A little bit of myself before motherhood: I am from Quebec City, Canada, so you’ll generally hear me chatting to the kids in French! I am a...

Hello FIT4MOM community!

My name is Truly! I started going to FIT4MOM when my daughter, Antonia, was only 3 months old and she is now 2. We are excited to announce that we are expecting another baby this summer!

Just a bit about me: I am 41, originally from the Bay Area, moved to San Diego for college (SDSU alumni), and played soccer growing up. In my 20s I ran 6 marathons in San Diego and have always tried to stay active. After...
