Meet our October Mama of the Month, Chloe Jennings!

Where is your hometown?

I grew up in Kittanning, PA.

What is/was your current/previous career?

I am a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. I work with kiddos ages Birth to 3 Years in Early Intervention.

How did you find FIT4MOM?

Instagram! I came to an open house week and loved it from the first class!

How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM North Hills, and what has it done for you?

I can't believe it, but it's almost been a whole year! I love the community of other moms that I get to socialize with and also get to bounce ideas off of. It's amazing to be with people who "get" it.

What is your favorite class exercise?

Ooh, the burn from any of the small movements in the barre classes.

What classes do you currently attend, and why do you love them?

All of them! I'm loving the Body Well classes even though they are challenging.

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

Everyone tells you how tired you'll be or how little sleep you'll get, but honestly, the most surprising realization is truly how much I laugh or smile in a single day now. It's incredible!

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

I think the thing I'm most proud of is how I've truly embraced the concept of "don't sweat the small stuff." There are hundreds of moments in a day that have the potential to be upsetting, but I'm trying to remember that these moments are fleeting and I won't remember these inconveniences in 10 years, so I might as well try to focus on the good in those moments.

What advice would you give yourself now if you could go back and tell yourself as a new mom?

Trust yourself. You know more than you think!
