Motivating Mom of the Month-September 2024: Jennifer Ruff

"Since Jennifer joined FIT4MOM almost exactly a year ago, she has religiously shown up to our early morning Boost classes EVERY SINGLE WEEK! It is so motivating to see her work on her self care so consistently (and at 5:30am, 3 times/week, it’s even more impressive!). I know I can always count on her to be there to support all the other mamas with a listening ear. I love having her in class!" -Monica, Fit4Mom Instructor

"Jenn is always my FIRST one to log on for our Monday 5:30am zoom Body Ignite Class. She’s always got a smile on and is ready to roll. Her oldest recently got married and she gave a shout out to our FIT4MOM classes which helped her stay strong and fit for the wedding (and she had a fabulous dress to show off all her hard work!)." -Shannon, Fit4Mom Franchise Owner

family, friends, and wine

You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do?

Winery with friends!

What has being a mom taught you?

I have been a mom for a long time. I would say that each child is different. Accept the differences and everything all will work out, let them be them.

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

It's when I tried to call out for them and call them every name but their own - it happens too often.

Any words of wisdom for other moms?

The days go slow but the years go fast - enjoy the ride

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

My favorite thing is that I'm doing something for me! For my body and mind! I like the exercise and the bonding with the other moms.
