Fit4Mom in Nassau and Suffolk Counties

5/8/13 - By Denise

As all moms know, from the moment you were handed that tiny bundle of preciousness, your life has been completely transformed. Never before had you felt this sleep deprived nor had you considered a morning shower a rare gift.  As desperately as you may want that old body back, squeezing in a workout is oftentimes as difficult as squeezing into your pre-pregnancy jeans. That's why we have to hand it to the creators of Fit4Mom. What an ingenious idea--baby gets some fun interaction and mom gets a great workout while meeting other new moms. Additionally, the organization offers a variety of classes for all stages of motherhood and levels of fitness. So while life may seem all about the kids these days, mom's this post is for you!

Fit4Mom classes are offered at various locations on Long Island, including the Broadway Mall, the Source Mall and Eisenhower Park. We have not listed all of the locations here since, according to Adele Arkin, the Long Island franchise owner, the locations change frequently based on enrollment. It is preferable to call her directly and she will find a class nearby, or if you have five interested moms she will set one up for you at your location. When speaking with Adele for only a few minutes, even this muffin-topped mom felt inspired to find her inner athlete. The nice thing about Fit4Mom, Adele says, is that the instructors are moms who get it. They are passionate about inspiring other moms struggling with weight, exhaustion and all the other issues motherhood brings. "Motherhood is tough," Adele says, "but mothers are tougher."
