This week’s spotlight is on Coronado Stroller Strides, a group of 25 moms who meet several times a week to work out, meet other moms, and have fun. The group has no public Web site — by choice. Moms interested in Stroller Strides sign up for local classes through the national Stroller Strides site, so the Coronado Stroller Strides BigTent group is limited to moms who have already paid their club membership dues.
Our team had a chance to connect with Lindsay E., one of the Stroller Strides instructors who’s also leading the BigTent group. Here’s some insight into her lively group and their decision to adopt BigTent:
Q. What’s a typical day in the life of your group?
A. Our group meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at Tidelands Park to workout. Moms also meet up for weekly playgroups and a monthly mom’s night out. We’re a wonderful group of moms and are always looking for new additions!
Q. Why did your group choose BigTent?
A. Prior to starting our BigTent group, we did not have a social chat site. I wanted to give our moms more opportunities to communicate, plus have a way to remind moms about upcoming events. BigTent has everything I need, and then some — like fun polls.
Q. Now that you’re on BigTent, what are your new goals for the group?
A. I’ll be moving cross-county in a few months, and I hope to pass the group on to its next instructor with a solid foundation, both online and in-person.
–Excellent. Be sure to refer the new instructor to our Coach Corner for helpful tips on managing her BigTent group!
Q. What else keeps you busy besides Stroller Strides?
A. I’m a clinical psychologist who is taking several years off from work to raise a family. I have a 15-month-old son and a baby on the way. I started Stroller Strides when my son was 3 months old and loved it so much that I became an instructor. I enjoy having a way to stay fit, get outdoors, connect with other young families, and model all of these healthy behaviors for my son.
–Congratulations on the newest family addition! We wish you the best of luck with your move and future endeavors. Thanks for choosing BigTent!
