If you have been thinking about trying a stroller class and feeling a little nervous, you are in good company. Almost every mom in class felt the same way before her first one. Here is what actually happens, so you can walk in knowing what to expect.

What class looks like

Stroller Strides is a 60 minute total body workout. We move through stations around the park, mixing cardio and strength work, and finish with core work and stretching. Your instructor talks you through every move, so you never have to guess what comes next.

Your little one is part of class too. We sing songs and keep babies and toddlers entertained along the way, so class feels fun for them and focused for you.

You can find Stroller Strides on Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:30 AM at Hicks Canyon Park in Irvine, and on Fridays at 9:30 AM with a location that rotates. If you are in Tustin, Stroller Barre meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 AM.

Your baby stays with you

Your baby stays right in the stroller where you can see them the whole time. If your little one needs to be held, fed, or comforted, you do what you need to do and jump back in when you are ready. Every mom in class has been there. There is no judgment and no falling behind.

Every fitness level is welcome

You do not need to be in shape to start. Some moms are a few months postpartum, some have toddlers, and everyone is at a different place. Every exercise comes with options, and your instructor will show you how to make a move easier or harder. Go at your own pace. Nobody is keeping score.

What to bring

Keep it simple. Bring your stroller, water for you, and sunscreen. Pack whatever your baby usually needs, like a snack, a favorite toy, and a diaper change just in case. If you have a mat or a towel for core work at the end, bring that too. If you forget something, someone in class will have you covered.

Arrive a few minutes early

Try to get there a few minutes before class starts. It gives you time to park, get your stroller set up, and meet your instructor so she knows it is your first class. The moms are friendly, and most of the village feel of FIT4MOM happens in those few minutes before and after class, when everyone is chatting and the kids are playing.
