We are so excited to announce our MOM (Motivating Mom of the Month) for December! Each month we will take a moment to honor one of our local mamas at FIT4MOM Montgomery County. We want to highlight her efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle and for her dedication to the program.
This month we honor.....Tracy Singer!
Tracy was one of the first people I met and connected with when I started attending in-person classes. I always looking forward to seeing Tracy (and Max and Isabelle) in class and chatting about our latest toddler trials. Tracy’s energy in class is contagious and it has incredible to witness her dedication to prioritizing fitness (and herself) during her pregnancy with Isabelle and postpartum. -Aria
Tracy has been a regular at Saturday morning family Strides for a long time. I also frequently see her at mom-only classes at Rio. I have enjoyed getting to know Tracy and her son Max (and now her new baby Isabelle!). Tracy's dedication and enthusiasm are inspiring! She always pushes herself and works hard. I'm so glad that Tracy and her family are part of our village! -Amanda
Tracy is a shining light in class! She is so kind and warm, while simultaneously being focused and working hard. Her energy is infectious, just like Max's laugh and Isabelle's smile! I love seeing how she has transitioned to a mom of two over the past year, and was so inspired by her dedication to attending class all throughout her pregnancy, as well as after. Tracy, Max and Isabelle are a joy to have in class, and I am so happy to know Tracy and her beautiful family! -Kim
So read on and get to know more about Tracy!

We love walking to our local park and spending time together at the playground
Favorite thing to watch on TV?

Any advice for other moms out there?
To learn that it’s ok to not be perfect and to be kind to ourselves
When was your first class with FIT4MOM, and what made you go?
Stroller Strides—after having my son during the height of covid I was ready to join a community of other moms and do something that I loved (exercising). I loved that I was able to bring my son to the classes
What is your favorite FIT4MOMMOCO class?
Honestly I love most of the classes. I enjoy Stroller Strides a lot because my son still really enjoys going with me but I also really like the mom-only Body Boost classes.
Favorite exercise?
Anything cardio
How has FIT4MOM changed your life?
Fit4Mom has changed my life because it allows me to do something for me (exercise which helps me manage stress) while also being able to spend time with my kiddos.
What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM Montgomery County?
I appreciate so many things about this community—I can’t pick just one! The different classes we can take, being able to bring our kiddos, having great instructors, and getting to know other moms (just to name a few)

December Extras:
Does your family have a winter holiday tradition?
We go to Florida to spend time with my in-laws each year
Do you prefer to stay home or travel during the holidays?
Travel—this will be the first year I travel with two kids though during the holidays so that answer might change
Favorite way to spend New Year’s Eve?
Watching movies and then watching the ball drop in NYC (on tv) at midnight
One word to describe your 2023?
I have two words—"new addition” (since Isabelle was born this year)
