MEET THE TEAM

Meet Kate, one of our Run Club+ coaches and a huge part of what makes our running community so special. She joined our village in 2021 and joined our team in 2023.

And today is extra special—it’s Kate’s birthday! We’re so grateful to have her on our team and hope you’ll join us in wishing her a very happy birthday.

We did a little Q&A so you can get to know her better.

__________

Who are you a mom to?

Avery (7) and Theo (5).

What do you remember about your very first FIT4MOM class before being on the team?

We were meeting at Road Runner to kick off the Run Club session and everyone was kind, welcoming, and fun!

If you could only listen to one music genre for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Probably some indie folk. I feel like it hits all the moods.

What's something most people don't know about FIT4MOM that you wish they did?

I wish they knew that fitness can mean moving your body however it wants to move today. And that there's not pressure from anyone to do anything different than what feels right to you.

What's a show, podcast, or book you're obsessed with right now?

I like Not Gonna Lie from Kylie Kelce. It's a nice combination of motherhood, women in sports, and Philly pride.

You're at your fav coffee shop - what are you ordering?

Paul's in Louisville -- 2% Vanilla Latte!

How do you stay motivated on days when you're feeling unmotivated?

I find setting a consistency goal to be key for motivating me when I don't want to do it. Swim 4x a week, GO!

Favorite way to unwind after a day of momming?

Good question, I don't know! Maybe get outside? Probably also (honestly) doomscrolling... 😛

If you could give one piece of advice to your younger, pre-mom self, what would it be?

"If you think you're busy now....just wait." 😆 Also maybe, "Everything is temporary. The great parts (embrace them) and the hard parts (let them go)."
