FAQs
Interested in joining us for a class? We got you, Mama. Here is everything you need to know.
Stroller Based Classes
Can I try a class before I join?
Your first class is always free! Click the link at the top of your screen to find out more.
Do I need to pre-register or can I just show up?
We ask that participants pre-register for class an hour prior. By registering, you ensure you get details about where to meet us and what to expect.
What do I need to bring to class?
For you: water, yoga mat, and comfortable exercise shoes and clothing. When attending outdoor workouts you may want sunscreen, hat/visor, etc.
For your littles: snacks, toys, diaper bag essentials, and any type of stroller.
I just had a baby, when can I join stroller classes?
You can begin attending class with your doctor's clearance to begin exercising, typically after your six week postpartum appointment. See you there, mama!
Can I attend classes if I am pregnant?
Absolutely! We encourage expectant moms to continue to exercise throughout their pregnancies as long as everything has been approved by their physician. We can modify any exercise that poses a challenge as you progress through your pregnancy.
FIT4MOM® recommends you obtain your doctor’s approval prior to beginning any exercise program. If pregnant, please speak with your physician before your first day.
How will I know if the class location has changed due to weather?
In case of inclement weather, outdoor class locations may change. Pre-enroll for classes to be notified with last minute weather location changes or cancellations. You can also check the schedule on our website.
Do I need to be a runner to attend these classes?
Absolutely not! FIT4MOM is for moms of all fitness levels. We meet for a warm up, then power walk or jog to each exercise station. You exercise at the pace you feel most comfortable.
Do I need a jogging stroller for the workout?
Jogging strollers are not required. As long as the stroller is sturdy, not prone to tipping and all children can be safely strapped into their seats for the duration of class, it will work just fine!
At what age can my baby be in a jogger?
As a general guideline, when your baby can hold his/her head up, he/she can ride in a jogger. But, we suggest that you follow your own stroller manufacturer’s guidelines. You can use a head roll and bolster to make your baby even more secure. With shock absorbers and recline features, the age can be quite young.
What happens if my baby doesn't like being in the stroller, gets fussy or I need to feed?
Our stroller friendly classes are designed to keep the kids moving and engaged by incorporating songs and various props to involve them in the class experience. With that said, if you need to change, feed or console your baby, please do so - remember, you are in good company.
Can my older children walk along or ride their bike during class?
Safety is our first priority, all children who have not finished kindergarten must be in a stroller for the duration. Children who may be with you during class time and have completed kindergarten may attend. Older children are expected to walk with you from station to station and stay seated by the stroller while moms workout. For everyone's safety no bikes or scooters are allowed during class.
Mom-Only Classes
Can I try a class before I join?
Your first class is always free! Click the link at the top of your screen to find out more.

Can I attend classes if I am pregnant?
Absolutely! We encourage expectant moms to continue to exercise throughout their pregnancies as long as everything has been approved by their physician.

FIT4MOM® recommends you obtain your doctor’s approval prior to beginning any exercise program. If pregnant, please speak with your physician before your first day.

FIT4BABY is a comprehensive program designed specifically for moms-to-be. You will find it’s so much more than just a workout! We are a community of moms where you will find support, encouragement, camaraderie and lifelong friendships.
Run Club Session
What if I have not run since before I had my baby or if I have never run at all?
Our Run Club coaches will lead you to your first mile! Whether it is your first mile ever, or your first mile post-baby, Run Club is appropriate for all levels. We do recommend getting evaluated by a pelvic floor physical therapist to ensure it is safe to begin running again postpartum.
Can I bring my child with me to Run Club?
Run Club group runs are stroller friendly. Any child that joins you for Run Club must be safely secured in a stroller.
What should I bring to Run Club?
Running shoes and water are essential. Any other gear that makes you feel confident and comfortable when running is important too!
Can I still join Run Club if I am unable to participate in the target race?
Absolutely! While crossing the finish line of a target race together is tons of fun, this program is about the journey. We encourage you to join us even if you are unable to join us at the final race.
