"I first heard about Mommy and Baby Fitness through a friend and thought it was a great idea to help me get back in shape after a difficult delivery.  I first signed up when my son was just 7 weeks and was hooked after the first class.  Mommy and Baby Fitness provided a great opportunity for my son and I to get out of the house and enjoy an activity together with other mothers and their children.  In addition to getting back into shape, I have met many great people and both my son and I have made some new friends along the way.  The class is very interactive and the babies really enjoy themselves.  The instructors are terrific and very positive.
I would strongly recommend Mommy and Baby Fitness to anyone looking for a great way to get back into shape and bond with their baby."

"Mommy and Baby fitness is an outstanding program.  As a first time mom I was seeking both physical activity and the chance to meet other new moms and Mommy and Baby fitness provided both in a warm, caring atmosphere.  The instructors genuinely care about the moms' physical and social needs and meets them all with ease.  This program is the perfect way to bond with baby, loose weight and make friends - I recommend it to everyone I meet with a new baby! Thank you mommy and baby fitness!!!"

"I participated in both Mommy and Baby Fitness and Strollerfitness with all three of my kids, and it had a huge impact on my life as a new mom.  The workouts allowed me to exercise at my own pace and to attend to my baby when necessary.  Not only was I able to get back into shape without having to leave my baby at home, the classes enabled me to socialize and compare notes with other new moms during the discussion sessions.  But what I think really sets Mommy and Baby Fitness apart from the rest of the post-natal fitness programs is the infant stimulation via songs and parachute play.  The babies love it and I still sing the songs that I learned in those classes to this day.  This program is at the top of my recommendation list for new mothers."

"I very, very highly recommend Andrea Grace of Mommy and Baby Fitness...YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE HER CLASSES BEFORE YOUR BABY GETS ANY BIGGER...IT'S AN EXPERIENCE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON!!  SHE IS JUST FABULOUS!!

Her classes are such fun and very rewarding for both Moms and babes.

My baby Zac and I participated in several of Andrea’s Mommy and Baby fitness classes from Mommy and Baby Yoga, to Mommy and Baby Strollerfitness in a beautiful local park, to fitness classes using weights, steps, and of course, our dear babies all integrated into the very motivating lessons, which felt more like dancing with your baby than work.

My sweet Zac whom I adore is now 3 years old, I am currently a Kindergarten/Primary Phys. Ed teacher (2 ½ days/week—the rest of the week I’m a stay-at-home Mommy) and I still use a lot of what I learned in Andrea’s classes both with my adorable Zachary and with my little students in gym class.

I have taken tons of Moms and tots classes, and I must say, to this day, Andrea Grace’s Mommy and Baby Fitness Classes had the most impact in my life and remain with me and Zachary today as he still asks me to do some of the exercised we learned together in Andrea’s classes.  And he loves looking at pictures of the activities in which we participated with  Zachary as my work-out buddy, to pictures of the parachute games we played,followed by bubbles, of course, to our outdoor strollerfitness experience—Nonno Romeo joining in the fun at age 72!!, to the bellydancing performance we did on Breakfast Television with Zac on my hip.

Thx Andrea for the fun, for the exercise, for the incredible opportunity your yoga, fitness and outdoor classes gave my son and I for some fun-time bonding while making healthy living, laughter and music part of our quality time together."

"To any Moms wondering whether or not they should join Mommy & Baby Fitness, don't waste another moment of hesitation - I think this is the BEST Mommy/Baby program that Toronto area has to offer! I've tried tons of other programs, and none compares! Upon joining, you immediately feel part of the family and look forward to going each week! You'll have a GREAT time, meet the friendliest people, and get back in shape while having fun with your baby! The swimming in particular is great fun and exercise and both my daughter's and my favorite activity we do each week! The instructors are so welcoming, caring and positive and do a great job of helping and informing new Moms on all kinds of topics from getting back in shape, eating well, bonding with baby, caring for baby and dealing with the stresses of motherhood. It's so much more than just a fitness program!"

"I joined the mommy and baby fitness programs after my first child Aleksa. It was a wonderful, comforting experience. The support that I was given as a first time mom was amazing. I found myself looking forward to every class, not only for the weekly discussions with the other moms about problems or concerns that I had with my daughter but for the workouts as well. Andrea Grace was my instructor and she was the best fitness instructor I have ever had. Not only was she upbeat and a knowledgable instructor but she was also a mom herself. These classes gave me so much that I went looking for them, in particular Andrea after my second child, Tristan. I am currently enrolled in the aerobics and yoga programs and even though this is my second child, every child is different. It is refreshing to listen to all the moms and what they have done to combat or overcome common problems. If anyone is having difficulties after birth with muscle pain or cramping, I recommend whole heartedly the mommy and baby fitness programs. You will feel better physically as well as emotionally.

Thank you for running such a wonderful program. Thank you in particular to Andrea for your dedication to this company."

Sincerely,
Sabrina Gurevich

"After the birth of my first child I was looking for a way to get back into shape without leaving my child in a daycare centre. I found the Mommy and Baby Fitness website and immediately signed myself up for one of Diane's classes. I started out taking one class the first session and upped it to two for the following three sessions that I have participated in - I like it that much! I was concerned at first that the workout would be too easy.

I was wrong! Diane has done a great job at creating a workout that's both fun and challenging. My child loves the baby interaction part of the class. The songs and rhymes entertain her. She vibrates with enthusiasm when Diane sings to her with the puppet and she gets so excited when Diane blows bubbles and brings out the parachute. The babies are so cute, it's a joy to watch them participate in the program and play together.

I like the flexibility the program offers. If my child is sick or something comes up that I have to miss a class, I am able to make up the class at another time. Overall, I highly recommend the program to all Mommies."

I joined Mommy and Baby Fitness because I was in such a 'blue place'. I was not handling motherhood well and the isolation was starting to affect me. Once I started coming to Andrea's classes my baby and I started to enjoy each other's company and I started discovering that mommys have a common bond that is really amazing. Her class kicked my butt .... but in a good way and very quickly I signed up for swimming and stroller fitness ... I was hooked! I got my body back in less than 7 months and my self-esteem back in 4! My baby and I began to sing songs and share activites that would not have been possible if it was not for Andrea. I also learned things about teething that I could not have learned from any book (my baby had her first tooth by 2 months). Andrea is not judgemental and respects all moms and really loves her job. She is very accomodating and I will really miss her and the classes.

Cheers!
