Can I participate while pregnant?
FIT4MOM offers programs for moms throughout pregnancy and postpartum. If you're pregnant, talk with your healthcare provider about whether exercise is appropriate for you and which types of activity are a good fit. After having a baby, wait until you've been cleared by your healthcare provider to return to exercise.

Before Your First Class
What should I bring to my first class?
For all classes, we recommend bringing: water, a towel/yoga mat/blanket, sunscreen for outdoor classes, and comfortable workout shoes and clothing.
For stroller-based classes, you may also want to bring a stroller, snacks/toys/diaper bag essentials for your little one, and anything else your child may need during class.
Do I need to register before class?
We recommend registering before class so you know where to meet, what to expect, and can receive any important updates from your local FIT4MOM team.
What happens with weather/class cancellations?
If a class must be canceled or relocated due to weather, registered participants will be notified by their local franchise.
How do I download/use the FIT4MOM app?
Just signed up for your first FIT4MOM class? Great! We recommend downloading the FIT4MOM app on your Apple or Android device. You can use the app to view your class schedule, book and manage classes, receive class updates, manage your membership, access community events, shop, and more. When logging in, be sure to select your specific FIT4MOM location.
Bringing Your Baby/Kids
At what age can my baby be in a jogging stroller?
Follow your stroller manufacturer's guidelines for when your child can safely ride in the stroller you plan to use for class.
Can my older child come to a stroller class?
Kids ages 5+ are welcome to come along and cheer you on during class. They’ll stay with you in the designated area during exercise stations and walk alongside you between stations. This helps keep everyone safe while you get your workout in.

Mom-only classes

Do I need to pre-register or can I just show up?
While you can absolutely just show up, we would prefer you pre-register. By registering, you ensure you get details about where to meet us and what to expect.
Can I bring kids to mom-only classes like body boost or body ignite?
Sadly, no. Our evening classes like body ignite are for moms-only. However our body boost classes during the day (currently at 9am on Tues/Thurs) are stroller-friendly, but no baby-wearing is allowed. This means all babies/children must be buckled into their stroller for the entire class.
Can I attend classes if I am pregnant?
Absolutely! We encourage expectant moms to continue to exercise throughout their pregnancies as long as everything has been approved by their physician. We can modify any exercise that poses a challenge as you progress through your pregnancy.
FIT4MOM® recommends you obtain your doctor’s approval prior to beginning any exercise program. If pregnant, please speak with your physician before your first day.
Do I need to be in great shape to participate in class?
Not at all! FIT4MOM is for moms of all fitness levels. We empower you through choice. You will be coached by a trained fitness instructor who will guide you through exercises best for your age and stage of motherhood. You exercise at the pace you feel most comfortable.
How will I know if the class location has changed due to weather?
In case of inclement weather, outdoor class locations may change. Pre-enroll for classes to be emailed with last minute weather location changes or cancellations. You can also check the schedule on our website.
FIT4BABY
Can I bring kids to FIT4BABY?

What is the workout like?
The 60-minute workout includes cardio, strength, balance, and flexibility training. We end every class with a relaxing meditation.
Do I need to be in great shape to participate in class?
No. We have all fitness levels and all stages of pregnancy in our classes. All exercises are carefully selected to prepare your body for the many changes you will experience and follow the most up-to-date ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) guidelines.
What makes FIT4BABY and the FIT4MOM programs different from the gym?

Run Club is stroller friendly. Any child that joins you for Run Club should be safely secured in a stroller. Check with your local FIT4MOM franchise to see if the running location is stroller friendly.
