Our Stroller Strides & Body Back Village

They say it takes a village to raise a family, well it certainly takes a village of amazing moms to run Stroller Strides of Riverside and Body Back. Our program is full of caring, strong moms who are here to support one another. At Stroller Strides we have 11 classes and 3 playgroups per week. We also have monthly moms night outs, "unofficial Stroller Strides" Bunco, play at the park after every class and so much more fun activities for kids, mommies and the whole family. 

Body Back is a fitness and nutrition focused program. There are two workouts a week, but a lot of support behind the scenes. With small group training you are able to get to know your instructor and have them help you in an individual way. Each group has their own online private group that they can use to support one another, ask questions and learn new tips and recipes. 


Both programs that we offer are fun and rewarding for both the staff and members.  We couldn't make it happen without every single one of the staff members that volunteer their time to serve the moms of Riverside.

I'm a Mom of two boys, both crazy and fun; a girlfriend to my husband Jesse; and the current owner of Stroller Strides and Body Back in Riverside. I took my first Stroller Strides class in February of 2007. From my first class I was hooked. No other program I have tried had given me the ability to workout with my child and have fun. It's not just a walk in the park either! I love Stroller Strides and couldn't imagine not doing it. This program has brought so much opportunity to my family. 
Before I was a Mom, I worked in the television industry; as much fun as my job was, it just wasn't going to offer me the opportunities to be the mom I wanted to be to my kids. Now, I have the best job on the planet... I get to workout, with my kids in beautiful So Cal, and yes, get paid for it. Even though it's a job, Stroller Strides is more than that to me... this program attracts the most amazing women I know. They are all supportive of one another, have fun together, and are just cool people. The kids are fun too, I love to watch a little one grow during their time in Stroller Strides. There is nothing more awesome than giving moms strength in fitness, motherhood and life... and I get to do it everyday!

I am a proud mom of two fun-loving children.  I was fortunate to find Stroller Strides while I was working as a Pharmaceutical Representative in 2008.  It was a great way to get back in shape while I was on maternity leave.  I meet many wonderful moms who shared the same values as I did and were determined to get fit for motherhood.  Once I had the opportunity to be a full-time stay at home mom, I jumped at the chance to become a Stroller Strides Instructor.  With my Bachelors in Biology,  Masters in Education, and PASSION for FITNESS.... I Strive to make every Stroller Strides class a whole body workout.  My goals as an instructor are to help moms build their physical strength for motherhood and increase their positive self-image.  Stroller Strides gave me a positive environment to grow stronger in my confidence as a mom and gave myself and my kids lasting friendships.  I love that my kids see their mom enjoying exercise and often ask to do exercises with me at home!  I am so grateful for the opportunity to be involved in Stroller Strides where I can workout and have fun with my kids and girlfriends!  I am blessed to have such a supportive husband who works so hard so I can be there to provide a strong foundation for our kids.

I’m the mom of two great energetic boys.  I share the tough job of raising two young men with my right hand man and best friend, Julian.  I love this parenting gig I have but it is the toughest job I’ve had to date.  I am very fortunate to be able to spend so much time with them as they grow up.  (Thank you Julian)I have been a Stroller Strides fitness instructor in Riverside for over three years now.  I am also a Lactation Consultant in practice here in Riverside. I became a Lactation Consultant after having a wonderful experience while taking my prenatal classes during pregnancy.  I felt a sense of empowerment and pride with my ability to breastfeed.  Knowing that I was providing the best beginning for my child and establishing a lifetime of good health for us both was motivating.  Invoking this feeling in other women was what I wanted to do.  When I began working as a Lactation Consultant one of my top priorities was that I could continue to do Stroller Strides.  Stroller Strides had become such an important part of my family’s life and I couldn’t imagine our lives without it.  I started Stroller Strides because I needed to work but I couldn’t bear being apart from my baby anymore than I had to.  I was also in school and the program worked great with my schedule.  Three years later I am more active than I’ve ever been in my life, my boys and I have made great friends and I am committed to giving my children the healthy quality of life they deserve.  I never imagined what a positive and dramatic impact Stroller Strides would have on my life.

I am the proud mom of two rambunctious boys and the wife to a wonderful husband, Brian.  We are Riverside natives and love raising our family here with friends and family close by.   Before becoming a mom I was in Marketing and Public Relations. 

I have been involved with Stroller Strides since my oldest, who is now 5 years old, was just 6 months.  I joined as a member in San Diego.  It was a great way to get a fantastic workout and meet other moms and kids.   I started teaching there over 4 years ago and have been back in Riverside about 3 years.  I feel very fortunate to be involved with such a great group of women and their families.

I am a proud stay at home mother of two little girls, Addison and Brooklyn, with a third baby on the way!  After quitting my job as a Claims Supervisor to stay at home with Addison and finding out that I had another baby on the way, I was on a mission to find some new friends for myself and my children.  In January 2008 I found Stroller Strides online searching for local mom's groups.  A great workout and a group of inviting women kept me coming back.  My family and I have since made life long friends.  I am now the playgroup captain for Luna Mom's Club at Orange Terrace Park and a huge supporter of the Stroller Strides Fitness program.
