Before becoming a FIT4MOM franchise owner, Dana worked as a Health & Wellness Coordinator and Personal Trainer. Once she became a mom, her career took an unexpected turn. “When I went back to work after maternity leave, my job didn’t respect my journey as a new mother,” she explains. “They completely changed my position and hours, and expected me to work long hours that kept me away from my newborn son. That’s when I knew I had to make a change.”
It was during that challenging time that she realized what she truly wanted: the flexibility to spend more time with her son and the opportunity to contribute to her family in a way that didn’t sacrifice her well-being. “I felt lost, lonely, and anxious during the fourth trimester,” she says. “I lost my identity, and I poured everything into my son.”
When the opportunity to become a FIT4MOM instructor came up, she knew it was a chance to not only rediscover her identity but also help other moms find their own balance. “When I was offered the chance to purchase the franchise, it felt like the door to everything I’d ever wanted opened wide,” she says.
Owning a FIT4MOM franchise allows Dana to create her own schedule, prioritize her health and wellness, and be present for her family. “It gives me the flexibility to spend time with my son, attend school events, and still contribute to my family,” she explains. “And I get to snuggle all the babies and fill my cup every day!”
