Meet our mom of the month, Jazmin! You will see, or have seen, her at all the classes with a smile on her face. She joined us doing Stroller Barre, Strides 360, Body Ignite, then did FIT4BABY, and now can find her at the Walk Club and soon at more classes. We just love having Jazmin as part of our village.
- Tell us about your family!
- I’m a mom of 4, with 2 under 2. Nathan, my oldest, is 8, Gianna will be 2 in December and Luca just turned 2 months. I also have my angel baby, Eliana, who we lost at 24 weeks gestation in 2021.
- Current/previous career?
- I’m currently on maternity leave but will be returning to work later this month as a Research Administrator at Northwestern University.
- What does motherhood mean to you?
- Motherhood means being caring, loving, protective, comforting and anything else your child needs. We give all we have for our kids to have a better life than we did.
- Favorite local spot?
- Obsessed with this local coffee shop named Fantasia Cafe on Cermak Rd and 58th Ct. My go to is their cookie butter latte and churro cheesecake.
- How did you find Fit4Mom?
- I won a free month at a baby expo hosted by Collaboration for Early Childhood and have been a member ever since. (May 2025)
- What's the best part of Fit4Mom?
- The best part is connecting with other moms. No matter what stage we’re in someone has already been there and has advice and guidance. It’s truly been great meeting all the moms and seeing their littles grow!
- Favorite class/exercise?
- Strides 360 is probably my favorite. I love being able to bring the kids with me and get a good workout in.
- Proudest moment?
- Proudest moment has to be graduating college with a 1 year old. I had my first born (Nathan, 8) when I was 22, in college and took a semester off for my third trimester. It was an adjustment to go back with a baby, but I’m so glad and proud that I did it.
- What is something that would surprise us?
- I’m a diehard Cheesehead. Go Pack go!
