Motivating Mom of the Month-April 2024: Mindy Rockwood

"Mindy is always giving full energy to her workouts & full attention to her little one at the same time! She is always great to chat with & is an inspiration to many new Mamas" -Jessica, Fit4Mom Instructor

"Mindy is a powerhouse mama. She travels to all of our locations no matter the distance or traffic. I love it! Her monthly Facebook posts about her little man are always entertaining. Or should I say her posts about Kaladin being a big brother It’s been such a pleasure getting know Mindy and her family. She sets such a great example and is inspiring to our mom community." -Shannon, FIt4Mom Franchise Owner

"To know Mindy is to love her! I never have to check my roster--she's ALWAYS signed up. She's embraced motherhood and committed to her self care while also spending time with her little outdoors which is my favorite kind of mama ;). Keep kicking booty!!" -Kara, Fit4Mom Instructor

My family, being outside, and coffee or iced tea

What has being a mom taught you?

So many things but one thing that sticks out is that sweet smile and giggle can cure even the worst day.

What is your funniest or most embarrassing mommy moment so far?

I had just finished nursing and I answered the door and my shirt was stuck up but I didn't know.

Any words of wisdom for other moms?

You are a bad ass, just take it one moment at a time.

What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM? What would you tell someone thinking about joining?

I love that I get to workout with my son and make new friends. There's always a mom that is either going through the same stage or has gone through it. It's nice knowing you aren't alone. If you are thinking about trying fit4Mom, just do it. You won't regret it!
