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

I have been a FIT4MOM member for almost two years now! FIT4MOM has been an excellent resource in my life, helping me meet my fitness goals during pregnancy and postpartum all while helping me make connections with other mamas and providing my children with opportunities to learn, play and connect with other kiddos! 💕

What is your favorite class? And your favorite exercise move?

My favorite class is Stroller Barre! I love a good sumo squat!

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

What has surprised me most about motherhood was how challenging it can be, but also the most rewarding job I could ever have.

What are three of your favorite things?

Coffee, shopping, and spending time with my mom and sisters.

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

My proudest mommy moment is seeing how much my daughters love and care for each other. Also, exclusively breastfeeding both of my daughters and tandem feeding!

What advice would you give to a new mother?

Give yourself lots of grace, motherhood isn’t easy! Do all the things you loved before becoming a mother, now you have a new best friend to come along with you. ☺️

Anything else you'd like to add?

I love how FIT4MOM has been so supportive throughout my husband’s deployment! 💕 The entire village is amazing!

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