Each month, we're celebrating a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces for her commitment to a healthy lifestyle and dedication to FIT4MOM.

This month, we're spotlighting a super sweet mama who has been conquering her goals at our classes and in Run Club+! Meet our Mom of the Month for August: Priscilla Vazquez

Tell us about who is in your family!

My hubby Albert and daughters Angie (15), Zoe (8), and Melody (18 months)

Where is your hometown?

San Diego, California

How did you find FIT4MOM?

I was looking for Mother’s Day ideas in Las Cruces & the big mega class popped up

What is/was your career?

I was a preschool music teacher for a bit at a music studio.

How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?

One year this past May. It has helped me meet new mamas after coming from a different state. I don’t know what I would do here in Las Cruces without them.

What is your favorite class exercise?

Stroller Barre movements make me feel like a ballerina!

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

I would do anything for my girls. They will always come first.

What are three of your favorite things?

Dark chocolate, charcuterie & the ocean!

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

Running a 1-mile fun run for Zoe then running a 5k right after (even though I was exhausted).

What advice would you give to a new mother?

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Your child will love anything you do for them. Also, everything will come natural to you—it’s a mama’s instinct. You will be okay!

Anything else you'd like to add?

I’m happy I’ve met some beautiful mamas inside and out!

We are so lucky to have Priscilla in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and her girls!
