MEET OUR MOM OF THE MONTH: LINDSAY DENNIS MARTIN
Please help me celebrate our January Mom of the Month, Lindsay!✨
Lindsay and her daughter bring so much joy to our community—from classes to family events and Mom Nights Out. We’re so grateful to have them with us!💕

Tell us about your family!
My partner, Dan, and I have one sweet little girl, Hadley! She is 6 months old, and absolutely the light of our life. She is the only grandchild on one side, and one of two grandchildren on the other, so she is absolutely adored and smothered with love by her entire extended family (I would say spoiled, but I don’t believe you can spoil a baby!).

Current/previous career?
I am currently in transition! I’ve spent the last decade as a management consultant, specializing in supporting large-scale marketing transformations, but decided it is time for a change. In the new year, I will be starting my job search in earnest, so if there are any other moms on the hunt who want to exchange resumes, let me know!

What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood to me is so many things, but foremost is joy. Hadley brings me constant joy by doing absolutely nothing. Just seeing her existing, smiling, and enjoying the world brings me so much joy. Even a huge blowout can bring me joy because I get a big smile showing me how much better she feels afterwards.

Favorite local spot?
Broken Tart! I love their baked goods and it’s about a mile from my house. One of my first post-partum fitness goals (pregnancy did a number on me) was to get to the point where I could walk there with Hadley to get a treat.

How did you find Fit4Mom?
My husband actually found it! I’d mentioned that I wanted to find a community of moms, and he saw Sip and Stroll advertised in the Oak Park/River Forest magazine.

What's the best part of Fit4Mom?
Definitely the community! Having the regular outlet to leave the house and connect with other moms has been so good for me in the first months of motherhood.

Favorite class/exercise?
I love the stroller classes. Not only is it convenient to have a workout class where I can bring Hadley, but it’s so fun to meet and see all the other kiddos! I get to see and hear about what I have to look forward to as she grows up!

Proudest moment?
I love seeing Hadley confidently and happily connect with people. She is such a social baby, and I am so proud of how much she loves people and how much joy she brings to others.

What is something that would surprise us?
We have no pets, but my husband and I spend a lot of time cultivating our backyard into a habitat for wildlife. My specialty has been researching what we need to plant or do to attract and support specific creatures.

To our village, our mamas, our cheerleaders—thank you for showing up in 2025.
For every early morning, every deep breath, every small win you trusted us with… we’re so grateful.

As we step into 2026, we’re claiming the Year of WE.
Not doing it all alone. Not pushing through in silence.
But moving together, growing stronger, and being supported—every single day.

You bring the courage to start.
We bring the village right here at FIT4MOM Oak Park River Forest.

Your first class is on us.
Come find your people. We’ve been saving you a spot. 💕

2025 was full of sweat, laughter, stroller miles, and so much support.
This is what happens when moms show up for themselves — and each other.
Thank you for being part of this community 💛

12/30/2025

Today was one of those days that fills your cup. 💕
We moved our bodies together, then cheered on the grand opening of a brand-new play space at North Riverside Park Mall—complete with Bluey and Miss Jamie’s Farm magic.

This is what we’re all about: showing up, sweating a little, laughing a lot, and creating a community where moms and kids both feel welcome. You don’t have to choose between you time and them time here—you get both.

Thanks for being the kind of moms who make moments like this feel so special. This village is pretty incredible. 🫶

Let’s end 2025 strong and step into 2026 together.
This week is packed with chances to move your body, connect with other moms, and do something just for you. No all-or-nothing energy here — just showing up, building momentum, and starting the new year supported and strong. Come as you are, bring the kids, and let’s kick off 2026 feeling empowered, not exhausted.

Your village is here. 💛

2025 is over in 5 days.
Send this to the mom who showed up for you, cheered you on, and made motherhood feel a little less lonely this year. 🤍

If you’re watching this and craving that kind of support — your first class is free. We’d love to have you. Every mom had a first class. It’s a little scary… and so worth it.

Happy Holidays, mamas!
This season can be joyful and overwhelming — if you need a little space to breathe, move, and reset, we’ve got you. Come sneak in a class this week to shake off the stress, fill your cup, and connect with other moms who get it. No pressure, no perfection — just community, movement, and a reminder you don’t have to do it all alone.

We’d love to see you. 💕

As Hanukkah continues, light grows slowly — one night, one candle, one small act at a time.

These bands represent the strength within us as mothers:
showing up when we’re tired,
choosing hope when things feel heavy,
continuing forward even when the path feels uncertain.

Some nights our light feels faint. Other nights it shines boldly.
But every light matters.

May this season remind you that you are not alone —
your strength is building, your presence is powerful,
and together, we shine brighter.

12/18/2025

Kids playing, moms connecting, and a whole lot of love in this space. 💕
We’re so grateful for the memories made at My Gym River Forest and will truly miss it.

What never changes is the community — the laughter, the friendships, and the support that shows up every time.

If you’ve been looking for your people, wherever we gather next, you belong here. 💛
