Brittney -Calendar – San Diego, CA

Cheerleading taught her to take care of her body through fitness and nutrition and that has carried on through her life. Once she became a mom, she didn’t know how to work out and still be with her young kids.  She discovered strollering as a great way to involve her kids and still workout. She completed her first 5k pushing a stroller and hopes to do more in the future. Brittney feels blessed to have the opportunity to worship, fellowship, and exercise with other moms through Mommy and Me Fitness.

Jennifer – Calendar – San Diego, CA

Jennifer is a mother of identical twin boys and a stay at home mom. She enjoys outdoor activities such as: hiking, camping, surfing, and running. Her love of fitness began about 8 years ago when she discovered weight training. A few years after that, she completed her first 5k, and was hooked. Since then, she has completed numerous 5K’s and 10K’s. Jen hopes to complete a half marathon in the future. Jen had to give up her gym membership when she quit her career to stay home with her twins. This made it difficult to maintain weight training into her exercise routine.  She began jogging with her twins, but struggled with how to incorporate her love of weight training outside of the gym. Mommy and Me Fitness was the perfect fit!  It combines her love of outdoor activities with jogging, muscular conditioning, and strength training.  It also provides her the opportunity to fellowship with other moms while encouraging and inspiring them through God’s word. She is excited and blessed to share her love of fitness and health with other moms; and really hopes that her example will also instill that love of fitness and health in her twins.
