Stroller Strides of the Golden Triangle in operation since Aug 2008! Meet our team of instructors:

Meet Lindsey Stimets, Stroller Strides of the Golden Triangle Franchise Owner, AFAA Certified Personal Trainer and Stroller Strides Instructor!

Lindsey Stimets is a graduate of the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in Kinesiology and Health Promotion. Lindsey commissioned in the USAF in 2004 where she worked for two years as a Solid Rocket Program Manager at the Air Force Research Lab in Edwards, CA. Fitness has always been Lindsey's main interest and while serving in the AF she built and lead her unit's fitness program. Lindsey voluntarily separated from the AF prior to the delivery of her now 3 yr-old son, Owen. She was eager to get back to doing what she loved through the acquisition of her Stroller Strides franchise in May of 2008. Lindsey knows just how being a new mommy feels all over again after just having delivered her daughter, Addilin in August. Being a stay-at-home mom with both children while helping other moms stay fit for motherhood is one of the most rewarding parts of Stroller Strides!

Lindsey finds that the greatest part of Stroller Strides is not just the total body workout, but building a support network for moms and meeting all the wonderful women who come to class.

Meet Rachel Thompson, Stroller Strides and AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor!!!

Rachel is a graduate of Miami University, where she earned a degree in early childhood education in 2003. It was at Miami where she met her husband Josh. The two were married in 2004 and their military adventure began. Mississippi is the fourth stop on their military journey. Rachel and Josh have a 2 year old son, Jake and a baby girl scheduled to arrive in September. After becoming a mom, Rachel stopped teaching and became a full-time teacher and mom to Jake!

After pregnancy, Rachel was looking for a way to shed the last few pounds of baby weight. Finding time with her husband’s unpredictable schedule and a newborn thwarted all attempts. Not only did Rachel quickly fall in love with Stroller Strides, it afforded her the opportunity to reach her fitness goals. She decided that being a Stroller Strides instructor is the best fit for her to continue to teach, interact with kids, and share her love for exercise with those moms around her!
