Say hi to Leigha M., our October Mom of the Month! 🌟You’ll spot her at Run Club+ this season, rocking a jogging stroller and smiling through the miles with her daughter Zaria. Leigha first joined us in search of connection — and found laughter, strength, and a supportive community that’s become part of her family's weekly rhythm.

Hometown? Fort Walton Beach, FL

Who is in your family? My daughter Zaria, husband, and I.

Why did you first come to FIT4MOM? I was a stay at home mom for almost 2 years, during this time it was lonely. I found FIT4MOM and even though I was nervous and out of shape I gave it a try. It was nice to have other adult interaction and not feel as if I were being watched/judged as I would feel in the gym. There is a sense of community and I felt that after my first class.

What are your favorite places to go and/or activities to do together as a family? We are big fans of the Oakland Zoo, will probably be members for life.

A few words to share about yourself? I'm a mom and preschool teacher, I think that's my super power. Kids all day everyday. It's tiring but rewarding and so much fun. Zaria would say my super power is carrying all the bags/food/drinks and her. "how can you carry so much stuff mama".

What is your favorite self care activity? My self care is taking a book to the coffee shop down the street from my house, treating myself to an iced matcha and doughnut.

I'm super glad to have found FIT4MOM!
