Fitmama Strong Ottawa

It’s been a while since you’ve seen me on here! But I thought I’d show up after our Express Elevate class where we spent 30 minutes working out on our stability balls. If you know me, you know I LOVE a good ball class!

Nearly 20 years ago, I went to my first Fitmama Strong class and we used stability balls. I had a hate-hate relationship with them back then! But after working on my strength and core muscles I finally learned how not to roll off the ball or have it go flying out from under me. And now? It’s my favourite kind of class.

Clearly I’m not the only one because everyone who showed up tonight was as excited as I was for a ball class! I’m off on holidays for the next two weeks but I’m committed to remembering to include our stability balls more often this fall. I’ll leave a comment on our schedule on the dates where you should bring a ball to class. (If you don’t have one, consider getting one!:)

Happy August! Enjoy these last weeks of summer!

We wrapped up our summer Stroller Strong classes on Tuesday with one of the best days of the summer! We had a mixed bag of weather during this 6 weeks and all of our mamas were there for it (the ones who needed to miss showed up at our online and on-demand classes instead!).

My favourite thing about our stroller classes is getting to meet all of the moms and babies and get to know them. Of course there’s generally a pretty good workout, but we all know that half the fun is meeting new friends and creating your community. By the end of the series when everyone is chatting with each other, I know our programs are working! Exercise, community, strength and laughter are what it’s all about!

See you in the fall!

POV: You're nervous walking into your first Fitmama Strong class...

Fast forward a few weeks and you're greeting each other by name, welcoming new faces and sending "are you coming to class today?" texts.

Because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

We're just here to provide the space for it to happen - one workout, one conversation and one friendship at the time.

Fitmama Strong: Building strength and community, one class at a time!

We were wishing for a little sunshine today but luckily most of us brought rain covers and we didn’t get rained out! Our regular spot for rain isn’t available for a few weeks so we managed with a tree canopy. By the end of our class the rain had stopped! We went home sweaty and happy. Also, they serve coffee at The Cameron (at the OTLBC - you don’t need a membership to go for coffee!) so of course we discussed that! Hooray for coffee after stroller classes!

Our Fall Stroller classes are going on sale August 12th at 9 am! If you'd like to join us, you'll need to be on our list so that you get all of the information:)

Classes run on Tuesdays at Brewer Park and Thursdays at Hog's Back Park, beginning September 8/10.
