February's Member of the Month is definitely a stranger to the cold weather in Louisville (she's a Miami transplant!), but loves the warm and friendly locals here. She's got a great order for you when you go to La Bodeguita de Mima and if you need a little courage to walk down that aisle in Vegas, she's your gal! Joining this past summer, Roxet quickly realized how amazing our Stroller Strides classes are for both mama and kiddo! Read more below about the dedicated Roxet!

How has FIT4MOM Louisville changed your life?
- tremendously! I look forward to it everyday. The first few months as a new mom was a challenge, I thought I was never going to leave the house and socialize again. From the first class I ever attended I knew FIT4MOM was going to become part of my routine. Not only do I feel productive and proud of myself for working out but there’s no mom guilt since my baby gets to enjoy it as well. When we let our kids play after class and all the moms get together, I find this to be my best therapy. I love the friends I have made. I get up in the mornings excited to attend class!

- Will the groundhog see his shadow? And who is better at predicting the weather - a furry animal or the meteorologists?
