Time for Yourself: How This Carlsbad Mom of 4 Found Her Strength at YoFiT
It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end, especially with the back-to-school season in full swing. We know this can be a crazy time for moms—from shopping and meal planning to adjusting to those early mornings, it’s easy to feel exhausted.
But the good news is, a structured schedule is the perfect opportunity to make time for yourself. The best thing you can do for your children is to take care of your own health and fitness.
But don’t just take our word for it, listen to our client, Tamara. A busy Carlsbad mom of four, she came to us after her fourth baby, ready to get her health back on track. She knows the power of putting herself first to be a better mom for her kids, and she’s been absolutely crushing it ever since.
Like many of our most successful members, she started with our personal training and then made a seamless transition into our small group classes.
Whether you’re starting with a few weeks of personal training or you join our specialized Basecamp program (5 personal training sessions designed to prep you for group classes), that one-on-one support can make a massive difference. This focused time with a trainer isn’t just about perfecting your form and technique; it’s about building the confidence and accountability you need to succeed.
That foundation is crucial, and it’s exactly what Tamara experienced. When we asked her about starting with personal training, here’s what she had to say:
“Being familiar with the various strength exercises from personal training sessions made it easier when joining in the group classes. I never felt lost as to what to do and if I was ever confused, the instructor was always there to guide me. Also knowing what weights I use in personal training helped to know what weights to grab during classes.”
Making the switch from one-on-one personal training to a group environment can feel intimidating. That’s why one of the things that makes YoFiT so special is our focus on small group training. We cap our classes at no more than 12 people, to ensure you are always seen and supported by our instructors, without the intimidation of a packed studio.
But even then, we understand that any change to your routine can be nerve-racking. When we asked Tamara how she felt about the transition, she told us:
“The transition was super easy! I was nervous to jump into classes but I made sure to sign up for my first class with my trainer, and she was there by my side the whole time making me feel confident! Class sizes were not overwhelmingly large and everyone was at their own level so it wasn’t intimidating at all!”
This is at the heart of our philosophy. Our small class sizes and supportive community ensure you get the personal attention you need, so you can feel comfortable and confident in every workout.
We get it, back-to-school season is already crazy busy. It’s easy to make excuses and feel like it’s selfish to take time for yourself… after all, mom guilt is real! That’s why we asked Tamara for her best piece of advice for new moms getting back into the gym:
“Just do it. Stop making excuses. Get there and get strong. Whether it be to lose weight, to get fit, or just to get alone time you’ll be a better mom for it. I always have so much more patience for my 4 kids after a good workout at YoFiT. I love being able to set that example that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.”
If you’re ready to ‘Just do it!’, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
