Jillian Hess

Hi! I'm Jillian - mom of four (2 girls, 2 boys), hospice nurse, lifelong singer and the current heart behind our local FIT4MOM community.

I originally heard of FIT4MOM from a stranger at the "dirty playground" at the Enfield Mall while our children were playing together. She invited me to come try class for free and I was hooked immediately. I loved the welcoming community, the perfect workout for my postpartum mom body, and having a destination and reason to leave my house daily! There was only one downside -- I had already been a mom for 7 years without the support of FIT4MOM, and I couldn't imagine how I'd survived up to that point without this village.

I vowed that no mom would ever have to struggle through the loneliness and challenges of motherhood without at least knowing that FIT4MOM was here for them!. I took over the reigns in October 2024 and it has been the best decision of my life to lead this incredible tribe of instructors, dedicated mamas, and the BEST kids in western Mass.

I currently fill in teaching, but mainly I try to be the welcoming squad, the event coordinator, the social media guru, the instructor support person, toddler entertainer and the designated baby holder -- that last part being my FAVE!

Cannot wait to have you joining us for classes on the reg! You will love it here, I just know it!
