Meet Liz — one of our early risers, longtime village mamas, and a true example of strength in motherhood.

Nine years ago, Liz found Fit4Mom Thousand Oaks during a summer at home with her 18-month-old. She needed connection, movement, and a reason to get out of the house — and she’s been showing up ever since.

These days, you’ll find her riding her bike to 5:30am Boost, no matter the season or weather. Her consistency is unmatched — no excuses, just deep commitment to herself and this community. “I’m always happy to see my morning workout crew,” she says — and we’re always happy to see her.

Liz is also a dedicated teacher at Pepperdine University and a proud mom to 10-year-old Max. She pours herself into her family, her students, and her health — all while uplifting those around her.

“I’ve found a community of mothers here — I don’t know how I would’ve managed without the support, advice, and hilarious stories from my fellow mamas.”

Her go-to mom wisdom?

“Give it three days.”

Whether it’s a worry that needs time to pass or a new habit you’re trying to build, Liz reminds us that a little patience goes a long way.

We’re thrilled to celebrate Mary Hunter as our very first Mama of the Month at Fit4Mom Thousand Oaks!

Mary is mom to Josie (5) and Desi (3) and joined our village through her high school friend (and Fit4Mom coach!) Megan Egnatchik. Since then, she’s become a strong, inspiring presence in our community.

“I love the combo of strength and cardio, the pace, and being outdoors. Plus, the timing fits perfectly into my schedule!”

🌱 Her Fit4Mom Journey

“Fit4Mom has given me a true sense of community. Connecting with other moms, sharing experiences, and normalizing the changes of motherhood has been so supportive.

I’ve reached personal fitness goals, built a consistent routine, and rebuilt my wellness foundation. Best of all, my kids see that movement is part of our family’s lifestyle—they can’t wait to come to ‘mommy class’ every weekend!”
