Hi, I'm Ophelia — proud owner of FIT4MOM St. Vrain Valley!

I'm a mom to two incredible boys — Liam (9) and Grady (6) — and married to my best friend, Jimbo. We've been together for almost 20 years. 💛

FIT4MOM has been woven into every stage of my motherhood journey. After my first son was born in 2017, life changed in ways I couldn’t have predicted. I lost my job, became a stay-at-home mom, and quickly found myself feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I was desperate for connection — for movement, for friendship, for a sense of myself again.

At just 8 weeks postpartum, I stumbled upon FIT4MOM... and it truly felt like finding a golden ticket. It wasn’t just about exercise — it was about belonging. I found a village of moms who understood exactly where I was, and I got to move my body while bringing my sweet baby along with me. It filled a void I didn’t even fully realize was there.

By the end of that same year, I became an instructor with FIT4MOM Irvine. I fell completely in love with the mission and community, and eventually became certified in every program FIT4MOM offered. I was all in.

When my second son was born in 2019, I faced a new and unexpected challenge: postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life — and once again, FIT4MOM was my lifeline. The friendships, the support, the space to show up exactly as I was — it kept me going when I couldn’t see the light myself.

I’m Lauren! (mom to Riley, Kaiden, and Jayde) I am the Leads Manager & an instructor. I’m a Colorado native, born and raised in Arvada, went to college in Fort Collins, now settled in Firestone. I’ve been with my husband since 2010, the same year he began his career and joined the army; we are a military family! Besides our human children, we have two fur babies, Jackson (chocolate lab) and Opie (staffordshire terrior), that make our family complete!

After moving, working remote, having a baby, then quitting my job to stay home with our baby, I felt alone and on my own to figure out this new chapter called motherhood. Then came baby 2. I was just a mom/wife looking to find MY identity in the world. I didn’t know where to start trying to make connections that would stick. I was so nervous when I tried my first free class, but the idea of getting to be physically active with my kids held my attention. Quickly, I knew it was something that I was going to make part of my routine for ME. Fit4Mom is a place where I am healthier, both mentally and physically, surrounded by other moms who can relate to my day to day, all in similar places in life, all while having my own identity and setting an example for my kids.

Hi, I’m Sarah! I have three boys, Isaac (5) Aiden (4) and Owen (2). My husband and I have been together since 2007. We were both born and raised in Colorado. Frederick has been our home since 2016. I love to spend time with my family and in my free time I love a good binge worthy show. I enjoy home decor and organization. I love the outdoors!

I joined Fit4Mom shortly after my second son was born. I quickly realized this was the perfect way for me to have something for myself, get a great workout in and also give my kids some social interaction. The moms are all so supportive and friendly. After sometime being in the group I decided I wanted to become an instructor to be a part of the community as well as help other moms the way this group has helped me find my village. I currently teach Stroller Strides, Strides 360, Stroller Barre, Body Ignite, Body Boost and Fit4Baby.

Words of Encouragement:

It’s so hard and overwhelming to come to your first class. But just do it! You won’t regret it. All the moms are so welcoming. You will make amazing and supportive friendships and build your village in motherhood!

Hi, I’m Laura! I have two boys, Luke (2.5 years) and Owen (7 months). I met my husband, Andrew, the first week of college in Spokane, WA (Go Zags!) but we are both originally from Colorado. We returned home to Colorado right after graduation and are living in Erie. We also have 2 dogs (Donna and Yogi) that our boys keep on their toes.

Outside of Fit4Mom, I work as a hospice nurse a few days a month and stay home with the boys the rest of the time. I love spending time with family and friends especially outside or traveling.

I joined Fit4Mom when Luke was almost 1 - my only regret was not joining sooner. I finally felt like I had a community of moms that were experiencing (or had experienced) the same things I was. I love that I can get a good workout in and my kids can get out of the house with friends. I’m so grateful to be an instructor for Fit4Mom because I can help support other moms along their own mental and physical journeys throughout motherhood.

Hello - I'm Megan! My husband (of almost ten years!) and I have two kids: a three-year old daughter, and a one-year old son. Both of us grew up here in Colorado, met here in Colorado, and have lived here our entire relationship - and honestly, we can't imagine ever leaving. We love being outside, whether it's hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter. There's so much to do!

I'm absolutely thrilled to be running the SVV Fit4Mom Run Club. I started running over a decade ago, and I immediately fell in love with the sport. I've spent a ridiculous amount of time either learning about running or putting that knowledge into practice. It's been a passion that has grown and changed with me through all the stages of my life - I'm so excited to watch the same happen for you! When I'm not running or spending time outside, I work full-time in website and marketing analytics (read: setting up lots of backend tracking, report-building, and database querying and management).

Hi, I’m Becky and I am one of the Village Events Coordinators! I have been married to my best friend Jon for 3.5 years and have a beautiful 1 year old daughter Addy. I grew up in Michigan, moved to Tennessee to get my Doctorate of Physical Therapy, and then moved out to Colorado to start my first job in May 2017. I work part-time in pediatric aquatic therapy (pool PT for kids!) and part-time in geriatrics, so two totally different ends of the spectrum!

When I’m not working (or working out with Fit4Mom), I love to spend time outdoors through hiking, rock climbing and skiing! I also love jigsaw puzzles and may convince you to do a puzzle competition with me if you ask about it ;)

I joined the Fit4Mom family when Addy was about 6 weeks old. Postpartum felt a bit lonely, and I was trying to navigate my new world of being a mama while also trying to take care of my body and feel strong again. Fit4Mom was honestly the most perfect thing for me. I have found an amazing village of women and a wonderful community of kids for my daughter to play with! The killer workouts are just a bonus! I absolutely love my role of bringing everyone together outside of classes to provide support, fun, play and friendship.
