"I came for the workout, I stayed for the friendships!"

Shanda joined FIT4MOM Tri-Valley in the summer of 2023 after spotting a teacher offer on Instagram, and she has been all in ever since! She quickly fell in love with Stroller Strides and Strides 360, finding a space that kept both her body and spirit strong while building deep, meaningful connections with other mamas.

Her passion for bringing moms together naturally led her into leadership, and today she serves as our Events Manager. Shanda keeps our community thriving by designing our monthly events calendars, planning monthly Mom’s Night Out gatherings and family events, leading our playgroup captain team, and coordinating special initiatives that give back to local nonprofits. At home, her biggest cheerleader is her daughter, who proudly calls FIT4MOM “Mama Class” and even leads her own adorable mini-sessions in the living room with instructions like “squat and tickle!”
