NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER!  
Hi Mamas!
It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is rapidly approaching and 2015 is soon going to come to an end! I love November, as it is a month to reflect on what we are all thankful for. I cannot express how thankful I am for the amazing community we have formed here at FIT4MOM Bainbrirdge-Poulsbo!.
I’m looking forward to November as we focus on indoor themed classes, playgroups and speakers!  Make sure you follow us on our Facebook page and our website to keep update to all classes and events!
See you soon!
Magda

November Schedule
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday and vacations, there will need to be some adjustments to the calendar during the last two weeks of November.  Make sure you follow our website and our Facebook pages so you are up-to-date on when and where class is!

Safety First Indoors! 
We strive to give mamas the best workout while still entertaining the kiddos with movements, songs, and music but it is absolutely important that all kiddos remain in their strollers and strapped in. 
Little one getting a little fussy?  Don't worry about it!  Stroller Strides is a safe place where you little can cry and act up and no one will look twice.  Afterall, look at Magda's kids! 
Don't forget, we will also have a "toy library" at both locations so your kiddo can have a special stroller strides toy to help him or her sit in the stroller. Feel free to donate any toy to the library that you no longer want in your home!  And mamas, don't forget the snacks!  We all need things to munch on!
Sneezing, coughing and snot...oh my!  Can I come to Stroller Strides with a  cold? 
YES.  Per the boys' pediatrician, with the start of cold season, if we all stayed home when we got colds, we would never leave the house.  As long as you and/or your child are not contagious, we welcome you to class!  Some precautions to take though:
1) Keep your child(ren) in the stroller!    
2) Do not touch other children or let your child touch others.
3) Do not let your child share toys with other children.
4) Do not stay for interactive playgroups after class.
Always, use your mommy judgement.  If you or your little will be miserable, then stay home and rest!  Otherwise, come to class!  Afterall, working out is good for a healthy immune system!
Do you know our hold policy? 
Our membership hold policy is as follows:
-You can put your membership on hold for up to two months during your first year of membership, no questions asked.
-For medical, pregnancy/child birth, and/or family emergencies, you can put your membership on hold for up to 4 month.  Longer hold period will be determined on a case-by-case scenerio. 
-To put your membership on hold you will be charged a one-time fee of $25. 
- You are welcome to return at any time and you will not have to pay a new registration fee.
-  Alternatively, if you cancel your membership (as opposed to placing it on hold) there is no charge.  If you choose to return at a later date, we will give you 50% off the registration fee that is in place at that time.

Name: Leanne Wetzel
1.  Hometown and where you currently live:
I spent most of my life in Lansing, Kansas, which is where my parents still live.  We moved to Bainbridge in 2013 from Omaha, Nebraska.

2. Stroller Strides member since August

3. Education
BS from Kansas State University in Information Systems (It’s a cross between Computer Science and Business Administration)

4.Past/Current Career
Past: I spent 8 years as a Business Analyst in the transportation software industry (both railroad and marine).  
Current: Mom :)

5.  Childhood Ambition
I wanted to own a pet shop, but then I realized pet shops have spiders and snakes.  I decided that I needed a new career goal.

6. Furthest you've been from home
One of the stops on our honeymoon "road trip" was Quebec City.  We stayed at the Le Chateau Frontenac which overlooks the St. Lawrence River.  It was amazing.

7. What has Stroller Strides done for you?
I have never been one to work out and after 8 years of desk jobs, I wasn’t in the best of shape even before Emily was born.  In fact, I didn’t think I was in good enough shape to come to Stroller Strides.  Thanks to many people pushing me, I finally gave it a try.  I can tell I’m physically getting stronger and feel better.  Everyone’s encouragement has helped me be a better mom for Emily.

8. Favorite Exercise
Exercising has never been my favorite things in the world, so I love exercises which don’t feel like "working out.”    If I had to pick one, I would say speed skaters.

9. 3 of your favorite things (besides family)
1. Brownies from Safeway
2. Mashed Potatoes
3. Margaritas
(Do you notice a theme?  :) )

10.  Your hobbies (besides Stroller Strides of course)
It’s been years since I’ve done it, but I used to love photography.

11.  Favorite Movie or TV show
Movie: When Harry Met Sally
TV Show: Friends, How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory.

12.  Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us.
In 2008 my husband took me to my first hockey game.  I don’t enjoy sports as much as him, but hockey is the one sport I can get into the most.  I have to confess there is something fun about a bench clearing brawl. 

FIT4MOM believes in community!  Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!  We want to make this a great place for moms in all stages of motherhood!
Community is what we build.  Fitness is what we do!
