| Back to School!
Lots of changes happening this fall! Kids start a new school year, we offer THREE(!) new programs, and our new instructors teach regularly! It's an exciting time! As days get busier, let's remember to take time for ourselves. Time to take a breath and recharge our own batteries.
Amidst the busyness of all the changes, I was blown away by your thoughtful nominations for FIT4MOM 2015 Instructor & Franchisee of the Year! It's my pleasure to spend my days with you amazing moms, and I LOVE our growing community! THANK YOU!!!
Looking forward to an exciting fall season with all you awesome mamas!

| Meet Julia Hughes!
Julia completed her Internal Medicine residency at UNC Hospitals and impressively served as Chief Resident during her final year. She is currently a fellow physician in the department of Gastroenterology at UNC Hospitals. It's so fun having Julia and her daughter in our classes!
Hometown: Belmont, MA
Kids: Madison (14 months)
Hobbies: Spending time outdoors; going for walks with our miniature schnauzer, Holly; traveling-- especially going on cruises; cheering for my sports teams, the Boston Red Sox and the Green Bay Packers; and exploring North Carolina.
Why I Love FIT4MOM Chapel Hill: I have always considered myself an athlete, growing up playing soccer and basketball, and running. I knew I wanted to continue being active, but it was hard balancing family, work, and exercise. I went to my first Stroller Strides class on a blustery March morning, at the encouragement of my husband, who thought it would be a great chance for me to meet some other local moms. I didn't know what to expect, and I was a little bit nervous about the workout. As soon as I showed up with my daughter, we were warmly welcomed by Amy and a number of other moms and their kids.
Since that time, I've loved showing up each Saturday morning (and the occasional weekday when I'm lucky), knowing that I get to work out with an amazing, supportive group of moms. I feel like I'm on a team, with a group of incredible coaches in Amy, Leigh, Dawn, and Nikki. This class has truly empowered me. As Amy likes to say, "We're moms. We can do anything!"

| Instructor Nikki Brown
I am so excited to be part of Fit4Mom Chapel Hill-Carrboro! I moved to Chapel Hill with my family from New York City in October 2014 and have loved it since the day we moved. I love fitness, a great glass of wine, entertaining, reading (if I can find the time), shopping (does online count??), and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
I’ve run four marathons (NYC, Miami, Chicago, & Boston), and I hope to encourage some of you to tackle your first mile or sign up for your first road race. Check out my "Are Your Geared Up to Run?" blog post for some great tips.
I’m looking forward to teaching, motivating and challenging all our fabulous moms! I believe that this supportive community encourages moms to live a healthy and fit lifestyle while spending time with our children. It can also build friendships that can last a lifetime. Looking forward to sweating with you in class!
(Nikki teaches Stroller Strides at Southern Village Mon, Wed & Fri.)
