Stroller Strides® by Fit4Mom
Fit 4 Mom Family Stroller Strides Class | Saturday, July 16, 2022 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Rise and Shine! Join Christina Gerberick of Fit4Mom for a Family Stroller Stride class to kick start your Saturday. Family Stroller Strides® class includes cardio movement, strength, and core, as well as elements of fun for stroller-aged kids.
Class is complimentary when you purchase a farm pass for the day. Please add the class when you purchase your ticket for July 16, 2022 so that we can be prepared for you to join the class.
Children 5 and under should remain in the stroller for safety. Children above the age of 5 are invited to walk alongside the stroller.
No equipment needed; stroller aged kids (5 and under) will need to be in a stroller for safety, but older siblings can sit next to the stroller and walk along (they just can’t participate in the class for insurance reasons).
