Building Healthy & Happy Societies

September 17, 2024 FIT4MOM x Feeding America x Jessica Maurer

At FIT4MOM, we believe that mothers are more than just caregivers; they are the foundation of their families, the heartbeat of their communities, and catalysts for positive change. A healthy, happy mother can create ripples of wellness that extend far beyond her household, shaping thriving communities and a better society.

While motherhood is a significant role, it doesn't define the entirety of who she is. FIT4MOM is built on this understanding, recognizing that each mom is a whole person deserving of wellness, purpose, and empowerment. Through our core value of RIPPLE, we embody the mission that strong, healthy mothers lead to stronger, healthier communities.

Modeling Wellness for Our Children and Communities

Mothers are powerful role models for their children and those around them. When moms prioritize their health—physical activity, emotional well-being, or self-care—they set an example for their families, peers, and communities. This commitment to wellness radiates outward, creating a ripple effect that promotes positive habits in everyone around them.

At FIT4MOM, we provide a space for moms to prioritize their health without guilt or hesitation. Our classes are designed to strengthen the body while uplifting the spirit. We offer programs for every stage of motherhood, from prenatal classes to postnatal fitness, ensuring that moms can thrive physically and emotionally. This commitment to wellness isn't just about fitness; it's about nurturing the whole self and giving moms the tools they need to be their best for themselves and their families.

The Ripple Effect of Kindness

Kindness is another vital piece of our mission. At FIT4MOM, showing compassion and care for fellow moms and our communities can create a lasting positive impact. Mothers who support and uplift one another create a strong, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. This culture of kindness starts with small acts—offering encouragement during a workout, lending a helping hand, or simply being there for one another. These small moments of kindness create a ripple that extends outward, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

Moms With A Mission®

This isn't just about what happens within our classes—how we bring that kindness into the world. As Moms With A Mission®, we know the importance of giving back. Mothers are not only the nurturers of their families but also the changemakers in their communities. Through FIT4MOM, we encourage moms to get involved, find ways to contribute, and be a force for good. From organizing charity drives to participating in community service projects, our moms are actively making a difference.

This philanthropic spirit is passed on to our children, teaching them the value of helping others and fostering a sense of responsibility for the world around them. When moms give back, we know that their children watch, learn, and grow into compassionate, engaged individuals.

FEEDING AMERICA

We proudly announce a special partnership with Feeding America to combat hunger across the United States. Throughout September, FIT4MOM pledges to donate 10 meals to Feeding America for every new mom who attends their first FIT4MOM class and 50 meals for every new mom who joins the program. The goal is to donate over 100,000 meals to Feeding America.

This initiative underscores FIT4MOM’s commitment to supporting the well-being of mothers and their families. By connecting with new moms through fitness, FIT4MOM is extending its impact beyond health and wellness to address the critical issue of hunger in America.

Why It Matters:

Feeding America is the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, working through a network of 200 food banks, 60,000 food pantries, and meal programs. Last year alone, Feeding America provided meals to more than 40 million people.
Hunger Facts: Nearly 12 million children, or 1 in 6, faced hunger in the U.S. last year. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated food insecurity, with an estimated 60 million people turning to food banks and assistance programs.
Impact of Donations: Ninety-eight percent of donations go directly into programs serving neighbors across the U.S.

"At FIT4MOM, we believe in the power of community," said Lisa Druxman, Founder and CEO. This September, we're inviting moms to join us in not only taking care of their health but also helping to feed families in need. By participating in our classes, moms can take pride in knowing they are making a meaningful difference in the fight against hunger."

The foundation of every thriving society is its mothers. When moms are healthy, both physically and mentally, they create stronger families, better communities, and ultimately, a healthier world. Our mission is simple but powerful: to empower moms to take care of themselves so that they can take care of others.

Healthy moms truly do equal healthy societies, and at FIT4MOM, we are proud to be part of that transformation.
