Hi I’m Bree. I am one of the FIT4MOM Stroller Strides instructors!

I was born and raised in western mass. My husband and I are high school sweethearts! We began building a family of our own in 2020 with the arrival of our son, Greyson Matthew. Although I loved my career as a preschool teacher, we decided it would be best for our family to become a stay at home mom. In 2022, we completed our family with the arrival of our daughter, Brooksley Bea.

Navigating motherhood as a first time mom at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic was tough. I remember searching for mom and me activities to help both Greyson AND myself. I stumbled across FIT4MOM on a google search and decided to try it out. I attended my first class in September 2020 and have been hooked ever since! I remember feeling nervous driving to that first class…but once I arrived, I quickly learned how incredible this community of women are. Joining Stroller Strides was a saving grace for my family. It gave my boy and I a sense of belonging and a routine to stick to every week. The friendships both Greyson and myself have made through FIT4MOM are so special. I cannot speak highly enough about the fitness classes, community, playgroups and friendships FIT4MOM Longmeadow has to offer!

I’ve always lived an active lifestyle between being a dancer for 18 years growing up, to teaching dance classes as an adult, skiing, hiking and biking. I am excited to join the instructor team and hope to see you at a class soon!
