Meet Rebecca, our Mom of the Month for December 2024!

Tell us about your family!

I met my husband, Boomer, in 2014 and we married in 2016. Our kids are Willa (5.5 years old) and Bennett (3 years old).

What does motherhood mean to you?

Motherhood means being ready all the time! I hardly ever know what is coming next and need to be ready to adapt. It is a joy to watch my kids grow up, develop personalities and experience life through their eyes.

Favorite local sport?

I love hockey but haven’t been to a Blackhawks game.

How did you find Fit4Mom?

I joined Fit4mom in 2019 while on maternity leave with Willa. I saw local and non-local moms in Fit4mom communities and am glad I joined ours.

What's the best part of Fit4Mom?

FIT4MOM makes exercising fun! I love the social aspect, that my kids can watch me work out and that I am getting stronger! I love the mix of in person and virtual classes as well as that there are classes with and without kiddos.

Favorite class/exercise?

Boost- I love that I get a great workout and a class without kid interruptions.

Proudest moment?

My greatest achievement is moving to Illinois. I moved to Chicago in 2010 from Minnesota and didn’t know a single person. I moved 350ish miles by myself, got through my Master’s program, started my dream job, met my husband, had kids, etc, etc. I’m so glad I took that big risk.

What is something that would surprise us?

I was born in Ohio and have lived in 6 states. Speaking of states, I haven’t visited every state but that is a bucket list item of mine.
