Prior to becoming a mom, Lindsey owned her own wedding planning business. Although there was freedom to "choose" her own hours, the job itself was very time consuming. She thought she would want to continue with this career after becoming a mommy, but found it too difficult and more stressful than ever. Lindsey decided to retire and start a second career as a stay-at-home mom. After having her son, Nico, Lindsey decided she needed to connect with other mommies. She love exercising and thought Stroller Strides would be perfect..."I was right!", she says. "I loved EVERYTHING about Stroller Strides. When the opportunity to become an instructor presented itself I jumped. I have been teaching in the Nashville are since November 2008 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am currently teaching at Aspen Grove Park in Cool Springs every Tuesday and Thursday."

Prior to becoming a mom, Kim worked as a technical service engineer at a local telecommunications software company. She planned early on in her pregnancy to be a stay-at-home mom, but the transition was more challenging then she expected. When she heard about Stroller Strides in her area she knew she “needed” the program both physically and mentally. She began attending Stroller Strides in June of 2007 and instantly became a true believer in the program. In October of 2008 she trained to become an instructor and is now spreading her enthusiasm to others in the area. “I love the fact that I’m helping moms. Being able to bring your baby with you while working out is an enormous thing to a new mom. It’s great to see how the kids are affected by the healthy lifestyle.”
