Happy Mother's Day!

May is finally upon us and quite possibly the best month of the year! Spring is in full bloom, the skies are "Carolina blue", the grass is soft and lush...and Mother's Day is here! This Mother's Day, take a step back and just focus on YOU! Whether it's taking a hot bath or handing the kids over to Dad so you can take a snooze (heaven!). Either way, relish in your title of "mommy". We hope you join us for a special Mother's Day Stroller Strides class followed by treats at La Vita Dolce on Saturday, May 7th! You are special, and deserve to be celebrated! Details below!

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month. Postpartum Depression is a perinatal mood disorder affecting at least 1 in 8 women (and those are just the reported cases). I hope you'll take a moment to read our own Dawn Huntzinger's story in her brave blog post. Stay tuned for details about a local "Climb Out of the Darkness" hike co-sponsored by FIT4MOM and Hike It Baby Carrboro in June benefiting Postpartum Progress.

In Health,

Amy Rosso - Owner, FIT4MOM Chapel Hill

FIT4MOM of the Month: Meet Tanya Koziara!

Tanya joined Body Back in November 2015 and has completed three 8-week sessions and one 4-week mini-session. Since starting Body Back nearly six months ago, this busy Digital Marketing Manager for XPO Logistics mom-of-three has never missed a workout! We are so impressed with her dedication! Her hard work has paid off: she's lost 16.5" and 13.6 pounds all while gaining impressive strength and endurance! Congratulations, Tanya! You are AMAZING!!

Check out Tanya's "Top 5 Meal Planning Tips!" on our blog!

1) Hometown: I grew up in West Chester, PA but recently moved to Chapel Hill from Ann Arbor, MI

2) Kids: Elena (12), Tommy (7), Michael (5)

3) Hobbies: Cooking and baking, reading romance novels, exercising so I can reach my body back goals :) and I hope to start a container garden this spring.

4) Why I Love FIT4MOM Chapel Hill: I love the encouragement and positive 'you can do this' energy and the results can't be beat. No other program has ever given me such significant and sustainable results.
