Experience and Background Britney spent many summers at her parent's gym Tri Fitness, working with clients, teaching group exercise classes, personal training, and learning the business side of the fitness industry. This is where she truly learned to love helping others improve their health. After high school, she followed that passion and attended Carroll University, where she obtained a Bachelor of Exercise Science degree, with additional classes in nutrition. While in college, she gained a wealth of knowledge from the wellness industry, as well as personal experience in long distance racing.
After graduation, she moved to Appleton, and began teaching outdoor boot camp and cycling classes at the YMCA. In the first outdoor boot camp she and Drea taught together, they had 75 participants! In 2012, she and her husband Matt decided to train and complete the Fox Cities full marathon together, which is her favorite racing memory. In September 2015, Britney and her husband joined the ranks of first time parents with the birth of their son William (Will). In February 2018, their daughter Everly Ann joined their family. Outside of staying active, she enjoys reading, spending time with family, friends, and her lab Benelli, cooking, and being outdoors. She is easily bribed with homemade chocolate chip cookies :) |

Experience and Background In 2004, Drea joined the Army National Guard as a Junior in High School. In 2009, she was deployed to Iraq for a year. During her time overseas, she discovered she loved instructing fitness classes after she had the opportunity to teach a few during her limited downtime. After returning from Iraq in 2010, she started to teach boot camps, strength, and cycling classes at the YMCA. In 2012, she also started teaching classes at AAC Xcel Sports in Appleton, WI. In October 2013, Andrea and her husband Mike had their first child (Kaden) and she took the opportunity to stay home with him and continue to teach. Shortly after giving birth, Andrea realized the need for a fitness class specifically for moms to participate with their kids. After doing some research, she came up with the idea of stroller fitness classes and got a hold of Brit. And the rest is history. In January 2016, Andrea and Mike welcomed their second son, Tristan. Having two has really taught her that she needs to meet and rely on fellow moms even more!
Outside of teaching, she loves being outside, making memories with family, watching her sons grow and learn, travel, and bribing her sister Britney with homemade chocolate chip cookies ;) |

Rachel was always very active growing up. She played soccer all through high school and went to the gym often to stay in shape. Once she went to college, she discovered a love for running. She ran her first race ever (Grunski Runski 10K) in 2010. Running and workout out became her stress outlet that lead her to getting her degree in elementary education. Shortly after marrying her husband, Bobby, they decided to train for a full marathon. That is where Rachel really learned how to push herself physically and challenge herself.
In April 2016, Rachel and Bobby welcomed their first child, Miles. Rachel was looking for a way to bring a regular fitness routine back in her life without compromising time away from her new son. She saw an ad for a stroller workout class on Facebook and thought that would be perfect. She (very nervously) went to her first Fit Mom class (formally 360 Fitness) and something just clicked! Rachel fell in love with the classes instantly. She knew she had to continue to be a part of this, and now three years later she gets to teach some classes herself! Now she will be at Fit Moms with two kids in tow as she had her daughter, Lily, in September 2018. Outside of fitness, she loves reading, being outside, playing video games, and having fun with her family. She also spends time working at the Kaukauna Public Library. |
Kristin spent her childhood in dance recitals and on the dance team. When she went to UW-Madison she realized she needed to start working out since her dance days were over (besides the “Cupid Shuffle” at weddings) but she wasn’t sure where to start! She fell in love with taking group classes and especially yoga. In her young adult pre-kid life she and her husband went on many yoga dates every week! She even attended a Powerflow class when she was a week late with her first child Frankie (born November 2015).
In fall of 2016 Kristin completed her 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher training with Breathe for Change in Madison. Once she completed her training she began teaching kids yoga three times a week at a gym as well as teaching a class for adults at the school where she used to teach kindergarten. In May of last year her family relocated to Neenah. Four weeks later they welcomed baby #2, Evie. Kristin is now due with her third baby in February. Kristin is so excited to blend her love for yoga, teaching children, and giving mamas the gift of self care this summer! Kristin enjoys everything about the summer— going on long walks as a family, spending time at her in-law’s cottage, and reading. |
