Mom of the Month: Fatema Rangwala

Where are you originally from? Mumbai, India

When did you join FIT4MOM? I joined Fit4Baby classes in October 2022 when I was pregnant.

What classes do you attend? I attend Stroller Strides and HIIT.

Who is your workout buddy(ies) and their age(s)? My workout buddy is my 20 month old daughter, Insiya.

What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM? I love everything about it! The workouts are amazing, the instructors are lovely, and meeting other moms and talking to each other feels so refreshing and nice.

What is your current job? Or what did you do before staying at home (if you don’t currently work outside the home)? I’m currently a stay at home mom but previously I worked as a public health researcher.

Share your thoughts on the concept of “it takes a village” – is it important for moms to join a village? I think it’s very important to have a community that you can rely on. Being a part of this Fit4Mom community outside of the workouts has helped me to be a better mom: I can learn from the gentle parenting examples of other moms, talk to them about any problems, and get genuine advice.

What is your favorite beverage? I love tiramisu milk tea with cheese foam.

What is your favorite dessert? It’s so tough to pick because I have a massive sweet tooth. I love any dessert with peanut butter, tiramisu, and Ben & Jerry’s Tonight Show Dough.

You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do? Go for a facial, mani-pedi, and a massage

What is your ultimate child-free vacation destination? Bahamas

How has becoming a mother changed you? I’ve always loved kids and so being a mom means everything to me. The biggest learning for me was to just go with the flow and realize that not everything goes according to expectations, and to be okay with that and move on.

I am happiest when… I’m at a beach or waterside park with my hubby and baby relaxing, enjoying the vibes, and reading a good book.
