Fit Mamas Club: FAQ

What is Fit Mamas Club?

Fit Mamas Club is a community of healthy, happy moms and their little ones. Our members rely on Fit Mamas Club to help them achieve two major
new mommy milestones:

1) To get back into shape after baby, and
2) To meet other like-minded local mamas, share stories and support along the journey of motherhood.

Our classes bring together all types of moms for fitness and fun. We offer a total body fitness experience to help new (and not so new) moms
re-shape after baby. And every class not only welcomes your child to be part of the program, it promotes interaction during the workout offering a
fun, new way to bond with your little one.

Many of our classes conclude with a playgroup - the perfect way to meet and connect with other moms while offering fun play time for your child.

Is Fit Mamas Club a franchise?

No. We are owned and operated by a Chicago mom. Our classes are more affordable and we NEVER charge a membership fee or other start-up cost.
You only pay to attend our classes. And no other stroller fitness class offers bonus playgroup time with every class.

Who can participate in a Fit Mamas Club class?

Mamas
Our classes are uniquely designed to help you achieve and exceed your fitness goals - all while having fun with your little one, regardless of your
fitness level. Any mom can attend our classes. Start at your own pace then let our instructors suggest intensity variations to ensure each program
element is most safe and effective for your fitness level. Please be sure you've been given the proper postpartum medical clearance from your doctor
or midwife to participate in physical activity. And remember, always consult your doctor before starting this or any exercise program.

Babies + Toddlers
It's a good idea to wait until your little one is at least six weeks of age before you begin a class (more for mom's sake). From there, it's smooth
strolling! For our outdoor "Walk it Off" class, as long as your baby or toddler is content being in a moving stroller for about an hour, you both will
enjoy participating our classes. Our indoor sessions are tailored to accommodate various ages - from six weeks up to preschool age.

I'm not in great shape. Will a Fit Mamas Club class be too difficult for me?

Every mama has to start somewhere! The majority of our exercises can be modified to suit your needs. It's paramount that you pay attention to your
own body's cues and get the best workout you can.

Who is considered a "member" of the Fit Mamas Club?

Anyone who has experienced one of our classes! Once you've registered with us, you and your child(ren) are considered members of our exclusive
club… a community of healthy, happy moms and their little ones.

But don't let the term "member" confuse you. With Fit Mamas Club, there are NO enrollment fees or membership dues to participate in our classes and
playgroups.

How can I get started?

We know firsthand that being a mom means you can't always plan ahead. During our summer season, there's no need to sign up in advance. Check
out our Class Details and Schedule pages to learn about class times and meeting locations, then simply arrive at class at least 10 minutes before the
start time. You'll fill out a brief new member form and then you're in…welcome to the club! Or, to streamline the process, join the club today by
completing a brief new member form online. Please note all classes leave promptly at the scheduled meeting time. To avoid being left behind, please
be sure to arrive on time.

During our fall and winter season, however, ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. We do this because in moving our classes indoors, we have
partnered with some amazing retailers whose space is, well, naturally much smaller than the great outdoors! This limits each six-week class' capacity
to 10 moms (and their little ones) which means each session will fill up in advance, requiring advance registrations.

What should I bring to class?

No special fitness equipment is required. Your instructor will provide resistance tubing for use during strengthening exercises in class. All you need
to bring is…

OUTDOOR SESSIONS
- Your stroller and your child
- A towel, yoga mat or waterproof blanket for ground exercises and playtime
- Water
- A hat and/or sunblock for you and baby
- Snacks and toys for your little one

INDOOR SESSIONS
- Your child (if you have a wee one, we suggest bringing an infant carrier so baby is safely secured during class)
- A yoga mat for core exercises
- Water
- Snacks and toys for your little one

Dress just as you would for a trip to the gym - comfortable athletic shoes and a supportive sports bra are highly recommended! Our warm weather
season classes are all taught outside so be sure to bring layers for both you and your child.

Do I need to own a jogging stroller to participate in your "Walk it Off" outdoor stroller classes?

No. You don't need any special type of stroller to take our classes (though a jogging stroller does make things move a lot easier). Just be sure your
stroller is stable - not prone to tipping - and that baby can be safely secured inside. We do not recommend small, collapsable umbrella strollers.

To see results, how often should I take a class?

As often as you can! In the summer, we offer our outdoor class 3x/week and recommend you join us for the entire program (at least for the first 12
weeks) to see the most improvement and be able to "keep up" as our intensity gradually increases with each class.

But if you can only make it once a week - such as our indoor class series - that's okay too. The key to getting back into shape and staying fit is
consistency. Decide the frequency that's best for your schedule and stick with it…that's the most important thing you can do.

What happens if the weather is bad? Is class cancelled?

We never operate a class in severe or unsafe weather…but, a little drizzle never hurt anyone. We recommend you dress in layers and bring a stroller
cover designed to shelter your child in case of light rain and/or wind.

CLASS CANCELLATIONS: If uncooperative weather causes us to cancel a class, we will post a "weather cancellation" update on the home page of our
website at least one hour beforehand on the scheduled class day. Please check our site before heading out for class. If you are unsure of the status of
class on a particular day, please call us at 773-450-7721.

RAIN CHECK/CLASS CREDIT POLICY: In the event a class is cancelled due to weather and no rain back-up location is offered, our monthly pass
holders are eligible to receive a $5 rain check class credit to apply toward their next single, series or monthly pass purchase. To receive a class
credit, you must e-mail a request to info@fitmamasclub.com within one hour of the class' scheduled start time - no exceptions will be made. You
will receive a confirmation and rain check certificate valid for use within the next 60 days. No rain check credit is available for single class or series
members as you can simply join us on another day.

Indoor classes are never cancelled.

What if my little one starts to fuss or cry during class?

Attending to the needs of your baby is, of course, priority number one. Our classes are designed to engage with your child throughout. As a result,
we find most little ones are very entertained by our workout routine. Our indoor classes are held in partnership with child-friendly businesses with
ample space to tend to your child. Our outdoor route takes us by smaller play lots, parks, benches and other grassy spots and we stop often during
our power walk for strengthening exercises so you can always take a break, if necessary, to soothe, nurse, feed, or change your child. Just let your
instructor or another participant know you're making a pit stop and you can meet back up with the group at our destination spot.

To participate in the Fit Mamas Club after-class playgroup, must I have attended the fitness class?

Yes. Our playgroups are a no-cost, "bonus" feature of participating in our classes. It allows our mamas to spend even more time getting to know
each other while providing babies and toddlers with a fun-filled reward for sticking with us throughout the workout! We encourage all of our mamas
to join us for these after-class playgroups, however, they are optional.
