Fit4Mom Cedar Mill

I am so glad that I found Fit4Mom! When my family moved to Portland last year I was anxious to find a way to get bank in shape after having my son and not have to find daycare for him while I did it. When I found Stroller Strides I was happy to not only find a great workout, but an awesome group of ladies who were super encouraging and friendly from day one. I ended up joining the Fall Body Back session and was amazed the progress I made in just 8 weeks. I love the playgroups, impromptu and planned, and the Mom’s Nights Out are always fun! The Fit4Mom community is just great!

I’ve been with Fit4Mom Cedar Mill for over a year now. I was fairly new to Portland and just had a baby girl when I found this awesome group. It has far exceeded my expectations. I have never been more fit in my life, I’ve made friends, my daughter has made friends and it has motivated me to get/​stay in shape all with daughter in tow. I am now almost 5 months pregnant and continue to look forward to working out (and getting out of house) to engage with strong mommas and beautiful babies/​toddlers. It has truly made my experience in a new city so much better.
In addition, to all the great moms and kids, I have the best fitness trainer moms that inspire me to be great everyday! I encourage all moms to give it try, you’ll be hooked.

I started Stroller Strides in the spring of 2013. I didn’t really know what to expect; strollers and working out? After my first class, I was hooked! I loved working out at Wallace park in NW. We ran hills, sprinted, worked out with a band and a ton of other strengthening exercises. The best part about this program is you can go at any level you are most comfortable with and the instructors are so positive and friendly. You really feel like part of the group right away.
I worked out through my second pregnancy this year with Stroller Strides and it was just as great while pregnant. The instructors are knowledgeable about appropriate exercises for pregnant and postpartum moms. Huge plus!
A great workout ends with getting to know the other moms in your class. It is great to come back and see familiar faces and build friendships. It really isn’t all about the exercise but the great community that has been built.
I recommend Fit4Mom Cedar Hill Stroller Strides to anyone who is looking for a great workout that allows you to bring your child. You will be happy you took the first step!

I recently joined FIT4MOM’s Stroller Strides and my experience has been amazing so far. The workout is tailored to your fitness level as the instructor will give you option A and option B (and sometimes option C). When you are there, you’re in the no judgement zone because you’ll be cheered on by other mamas and even the kiddos! We also sing to entertain our kids, or you can just hum if you don’t know the lyrics (yep I’ve done it). It’s a great way to gauge the intensity of your workout. I’ve met some great moms and cute babies who I actually look forward to seeing when I go to class. SS is a great program. It’s not just the physical strength you gain from the workout, but it’s also the emotional strength that you gain from support and friendship.

I’ve been doing Fit4Mom’s Stroller Strides in NW/​NE Portland since my toddler was about three months old (April 2012). I recently had another baby and if it weren’t for Stroller Strides I’d probably still be stuck in my house!
Stroller Strides is an all-​inclusive ‘club’ for me:
1. Exercise — I’m a self-​proclaimed endorphin junkie (without it I’m a lost cause around my family).
2. It is a structured activity that guarantees me that my kiddos and I will get out of the house!
3. Making new friends (for me and my kiddos) and doing Mom’s Night Out/​In activities!
4. Play dates!
5. Moms talk — I have learned more about kid stuff from the moms in Stroller Strides than any other place!
6. My children are regularly exposed to seeing mommy exercise which hopefully will rub off on them!
7. Let’s not forget the sanity-​making effects of seeing other moms with kiddos that do the same crazy stuff as my own (tantrums etc)!
My experience with Stroller Strides/​Fit4Mom Cedar Mill, NW/​NE Portland has been absolutely amazing. I’m constantly telling other moms and dads about the benefits that I have gained from this group.

I joined Fit4Mom Cedar Mill in July 2013 as a part of the Stroller Strides group. I instantly fell in love with the program. It doesn’t get any better than a cardio/​strength combo class, that is tailored to your level of fitness taken while your little one watches on and you are surrounded by a support group of awesome mamas who know exactly why you are there and what you are trying to accomplish. Megan and her team of instructors are outstanding. They make the workouts fun — for both the mamas and the kiddos. And it’s an awesome workout. I am always sweating hard at the end! Then, this past January, I decided to give myself a belated Christmas gift and signed up for a session of Body Back. It was just the program I needed at this point in my life. I needed a program that provided healthy eating options without going on a «diet,» realistic workouts for a busy mama and above all, accountability. Body Back provided this for me for not only the eight-​week session, but gave me the necessary tools to carry this type of life change forward in the months and years to come! You will not be disappointed with any of the programs Fit4Mom Cedar Mill has to offer. Trust me!
