How did you find FIT4MOM?
What is/was your career?
I am a SAHM and influencer
How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?
I have been coming since June 2023. It has made me stronger, not just physically but mentally. I have made life long friends and so has Aaliyah. I was nervous to attend my first class, but afterwards I felt great, like I could do anything. Now I don’t know what I’d do without FIT4MOM. The support from all of the moms is amazing.
What is your favorite class exercise?
I love lunges and resistance band bicep curls
What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?
Being exhausted on another level is real, but totally worth it!
What are three of your favorite things?
Coffee, beer, and fashion!
What is your proudest mommy moment so far?
I have so many. But I would say seeing my kiddos do what they love! Playing basketball, playing piano, drawing, singing and dancing! It all makes my mama heart so happy!
What advice would you give to a new mother?
Time is precious, it passes by so fast. I’ve learned to take in each and every moment, and even finding joy in the chaos.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Make sure to take time for yourself. YOU time is needed!
We are so lucky to have Ashley in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and Aaliyah!
