How did you find FIT4MOM?
What is/was your career?
I was in sales for 7 years, but now I stay home with my kiddos!
How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?
1 year. Given me the confidence to prioritize my health and needs while also taking care of my children. I am my best mom self while taking care of myself.
What is your favorite class exercise?
Single let deadlift
What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
How unpredictable yet predictable my kids are. I think I have them down and then they completely surprise me with how much they are growing and maturing.
What are three of your favorite things?
(outside of my family) 1) watching movies 2) coffee 3) hosting parties
What is your proudest mommy moment so far?
Surviving a 2 week Nicu stay while also having a 2 year old during the holiday season. It showed that I am able to advocate for myself and my children.
What advice would you give to a new mother?
Always put a gallon ziploc baggie in your diaper bag. Great for blowouts and then you can just toss it after.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I hope when you come to one of my classes, you leave feeling stronger, more confident and happier than you came!
We are so lucky to have Sommer in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and her girls!
