Just about three years ago I purchased and started teaching StrollerFit classes.. Wow how it has changed my life. The best thing about the whole business (which really doesn't feel like a business) is the fun I have with all the great families I have met. Every day I start a class I think about the positve role models we are for all these kids. Its great to have flexibility to stay home with my kids and still run a business that women appreciate. StrollerFit is great because not only do moms get out of the house, on a schedule and feel better about their bodies, but did you know that when we work out with our kids they have a 70% chance of continueing those healthy habits in life. We know our kids our teachable and health , wellness and nutrition play an important role...and just think it all starts with us MOMS.!! So mid way through my Strollerfit business I was introduced to a product called Juice Plus. It is whole food nutrition in a capsule , chewable or gummie. Not sure if everyone knows but we should be getting 9-13 fresh fruits and veggies everyday and now I do get it everyday with Juice Plus. My family has seen many benefits and feel everyone should know about it so I share it with my moms in class. Many of them and the kids are on the products. Another way to keep our kids healthy and teach healthy eating. We save for kids college, but do we invest in their health for them. The way fast food and video games have taken over I sometimes doubt the role models us as parents are portraying. BE HEALTHY, EAT HEALTHY, Life is good protect it always.
Last October Restore the Core...lose the low belly sag launched off here and wow the changes moms have made are awesome. THis class has been studied for two years before it was launched and yep its the best way to change that pregnancy body back to where it was. Any mom any age and yes we have women over 60 in the class.
I am using this blog for other moms (of all ages) to tell why they love Strollerfit or Restore the COre. What it has done for them. What they like and share what your children have gotten from participating in StrollerFit with you. Please share your thoughts. I can't wait to hear!!

StrollerFit has been such a blessing to me. I used to struggle with trying to fit in a workout video at home, but with four boys there was never a good time. Now I can workout with my youngest son while the others are at school, and during the summer they all come with me and exercise or play on the playground. It is so nice to exercise with other moms (in the fresh air)instead of working out in front of a TV. And Beth is good at changing up the workouts, so you never know what she has in store for you.
I saw a substantial difference in my waist and thighs after taking Beth's Restore the Core class. It is different and you see results.
My younger two boys ages 2 and 4 love the chewable Juice Plus vitamins! My two-year-old actually climbs up on the counter to try and get more! My older two boys ages 6 and 8 didn't like the taste of the chewables, so I might try the gummies with them. My advice is to start them young! I am going to start taking them as well.
Thanks, Beth, for all that you do for us moms and our children!
StrollerFit means so much to my children and I. I've been coming to class for 2 1/2 years and I don't know what I would do without Beth and her classes. I love being able to get a great workout without having to leave my kids. I have 4 children and they love StrollerFit, too. They are always playing StrollerFit with their babies and strollers. It's so cute, and really makes me feel good to see them learning about excercise and working out at such young ages. I have also met so many amazing moms through StrollerFit. We are truly blessed to have Beth and StrollerFit in our lives.
I've been in Strollerfit for a little over 2 years now and it is amazing! The workouts help keep my energy levels up, they are a great stress reliever and they keep me strong and in shape for my kids. I've got two kids ages 2 and under (a boy and a girl). They get pretty heavy picking them up all of the time - especially at the days end. Strollerfit allows me to be that super mommy that can handle just about anything (almost!).
I'll catch my little boy doing Strollerfit exercises like the hussle, the 3 jump "whoo," and squats. In class, he learns his a,b,c's, counting, colors and Spanish! Yes, Strollerfit is brilliantly interactive with the children and it teaches them to be enthusiastic about health and exercise.
Strollerfit is also a great social outlet for the moms. We can bond and vent to each other because we are all going through the same thing. We have come up with other ways to get together, too. We'll meet up for movie nights, Bunco, brunches....you name it. We are a great support group for each other, and we like to hang out outside of Strollerfit, too:)
Beth, our instructor, is a fabulous person. She is always so positive and keeps the workouts fresh and challenging. There are different ways of doing each exercise, too......i.e. you can do a low, medium or high impact. YOU get to decide how hard you want/need to push yourself.
After two pregnancies, I'm in the best shape ever AND I'm back into all my skinny clothes!
We love StrollerFit too! Its been almost 3 years since I took my first StrollerFit class, and I'm still coming back for more. My daughter loves class still. One of her first favorite songs was a workout song from class. I would have to play it while she did her squats, lunges, etc. ANd now, she is turning into quite the little instructor as she encourages others to do StrollerFit with her.
StrollerFit has not only brought me many, many great workouts, but also great friends :)
My son and I just love StrollerFit! We have been attending for about 3 months now and we look forward to going to every class. It has helped me loose most of the extra weight that I gained while I was pregnant. So far, I have lost almost 20 pounds and I feel great. I couldn't have done it without Beth.
Beth is a wonderful instructor and is great in keeping me motivated. Every class is different so I never get tired. She is wonderful with the kids and that means a lot to us.
I have met some really wonderful people. I am a first time mom, so, it’s been nice to be able to share some of my experiences and get some great advice in return. It has helped me tremendously!
Thanks Beth for being the wonderful person you are and offering such a great opportunity for me and my son!
I started Strollerfit about a year ago and I love it. My son loves to be outdoors and I know I have gotten into better shape from it. We enjoy seeing all the moms every week and everyone is so kind. After the first workout I did I could barely move the next day and still a year after there are many days when I am sore. I can feel improvements in everything I do in class and I notice a different in my strength.
I also took a Restore the Core class a couple of months ago and after the second class I could already feel a change in my obliques and lower abs. I love how challenging a floor workout is and how good the results are.
I was introduced to Juice Plus about a year ago and I also distribute it now because I love it so much. My mom is on it and she tells everyone how wonderful it is. We have both seen ourselves really craving fruits and vegetables and I am eating vegetables I never thought I would ever touch. I cannot wait to get my son on the gummies.
Beth is such a wonderful instructor and all the moms at class are great. I really look forward to seeing everyone and getting to class.
Thanks to Beth and her Strollerfit classes, I am in the best shape I have been in 15 years! My daughter Ryan and I have been taking classes since she was 6 weeks old (so, about 6 months now). Strollerfit gives me something to look forward to in the mornings and gets us up and ready for the day. I think we all know how difficult it can be to motivate yourself to get back out into the world so soon after giving birth! I truly believe that Strollerfit classes help ward off the baby blues.
I also took Restore the Core last session and I am currently taking MommyMuscle Sculpt and Restore combined. During the first Restore sessions, I lost more than 2.5 inches! I lost all of the 40 pounds of baby weight and my waist was smaller than before I was pregnant with Ryan! This was all within 3 months of working with Beth!
I can't say enough about Beth and all of the other mommies and babies! It is so great to be part of a group of amazing women that are dedicated to the health and wellness of their families.
I started with Strollerfit day one. If it wasn't for Beth I wouldn't be in the shape that I am in today. It's a great workout and you feel good afterwards. I have meet alot of great moms and kids of all ages. Now as for Restore, I never knew I had so many muscles that could be so sore. It has changed my body for sure. So, thank you to my best friend who keeps me going and give me the push I need to stay fit. Tracy
Exercise WITH your child--what a genius idea!! A Mom's dream come true! StrollerFit gives new meaning to the word multi-tasking! To think you can exercise with your child (no childcare worries or tears at the gym when you drop them off), teach them (could be Spanish, a new song or learning how to do a jumping jack) and network with great Moms all at the same time! AND Beth even gives you mini me breaks when she tells you to leave the strollers and take off. You could be staring at a hill run or a couple of laps, but just those few minutes to yourself can get you through the rest of the day. I have been through countless exercise classes, gym memberships, personal trainers, dvd's, etc and finally found what I was looking for with Beth at StrollerFit!! Even though you may not always be able to tell in class, I am saying Thank you!! Thank you Beth for being such a positive influence for me and my children.
I origianlly started going to StrollerFit to loose the baby weight after my first son was born. He is now 2, and I had no idea it would lead to the meeting of some of the most wonderful moms. StrollerFit is so unique, it is just like having your own personal trainer. It doesn't matter if you are just starting out, pregnant and having a baby or training for a marathon, Beth tailors your workout to what is best for you.
I was having a harder time loosing the weight after my second son and Beth just keep pushing until finally the pounds were off.
My older son is 2 and he looks forward to coming to class. He knows at the end he gets to get out and play with his friends and he loves that.
My younger son is only 9 months but you can tell how much he enjoys being outside and listening to Beth's Jammin tunes.
StrollerFit has become such a part of my life not just in workout but in social as well. I look forward to not only the exersice sessions but getting together with other moms outside of class is great (both with and without the kids).
I never thought when I joined that it would turn into more than just a place to go and get back into shape. Thanks Beth for all that you do, both on and off the pavement. You are a blessing to all of us moms.
StrollerFit and Restore the Core have been such a blessing to me and my family. Before my son Anderson, I would work out 4 to 5 days a week. When he came along it became a little more difficult to find the time and energy to work out. Without Beth I don't know what I would have done. She showed me how to get those extra pounds off and feel good about myself again. I look forward to going to StrollerFit and working out with the other moms and there children. It is a great way to start my day.
I love StrollerFit and Restore the Core!!! I have been teaching StrollerFit since October 2007 and it has transformed my body!! This is how you know it truly works because I am only able to do part of the workout! As an owner/instructor myself, I only do part of the class...the rest of the class is watching over all of the mamas and making sure they have proper form or tickling toes of babies to keep them happy!
Just this past weekend we were at the lake and my husband said "Honey, your stomach looks like a model's stomach" I said..."Restore the Core baby!!" I am more fit now than before I had my bambino, Wil 19 mos.
If you haven't tried it yet, you have to try it!! Give it a week, you'll be hooked! Beth is great and I am sure her classes are amazing...if only FL was closer to CA!
