Motivational Couple of the Month-May 2024: Tiffany & Jordan Newman

"Seeing Tiffany & Jordan show up on weekends makes my heart so happy. They have such a great energy about them. The competition gets stiff when I add in challenges for them. You can't miss Jordan and his competitive nature. The two parents connect so well together. Their little Mary is one lucky girl to have so much love surrounding her. I'm always overjoyed when I get some 'love' from Mary. She gives the best hugs! I thank them every time for showing up and having a blast!" -Shannon, Fit4Mom Franchise Owner

Who are the members of your family and where are you originally from?

Our family is Jordan, me, our little Mary, and we have two kitties. We are both from small towns in central Oklahoma.

Where did you two meet?

We worked together at our part-time high school job at McDonalds, almost a decade ago!

Where can we find you? What is your Fit4Mom routine these days?

I frequent Springfield Stroller Strides! Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during the colder months and I’m so excited for Thursday’s Franconia Rec Strides! The splash pad after class is where you’ll find Mary and me. Jordan joins us (almost) every Saturday for the family class!

What are 3 of your favorite things?

Mine are books, coffee, and chocolate. Jordan says cars, sports, and working out.

I think Mary’s is playing outside, the show Bluey, and snacks.

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

We love roller coasters. Roller coasters don’t love toddlers.

What has being a parent taught you?

To be patient. I want my girl to grow up strong and be able to have the confidence and courage do things herself. So I’m learning and working on taking a step back and waiting to see if she can do whatever challenges her before I step in to do it for her. - Tiffany

Expect the unexpected - Jordan

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

I don’t know about most embarrassing, but maybe the newest.. Mary has recently started shoving her diaper down her little rear end. I catch it most of the time but the other day another mom pointed out that she had quite a bit of booty crack showing, whoops. I guess it’s time to start toilet training. - Tiffany

Dumping an entire plate of food because I was holding food and Mary at the same time. - Jordan

Any words of wisdom for other parents?

I’m still a new mom, we’re not quite two years in so I’m still learning and open to other’s wisdom. But I think “go with the flow” is what I’d say to other parents. Babies, toddler, and big kids are all their own people, you can’t really control them to much or it seems to backfire. -Tiffany

Make all your memories worth it. Don’t just go through the motions, because in the future you’re going to wish you did more. - Jordan

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

As a stay at home mom, my favorite thing is the adult conversation. FIT4MOM gets me out of the house and exercising with other moms who are going through the same things as I am, or who have been there. You realize the sleepless nights and screaming sessions aren’t just you once you get talking to other moms. That’s the biggest blessing, we’re all going through it.

Honorable mention to our book club LIT4MOM as well. I’ve had SO much fun at the meetings. - Tiffany

Gets my cardio for the week in. If you are new to the area, FIT4MOM has so many people with different backgrounds to help you on whatever journey you decide to take! - Jordan
