Meet Jenae Bentley! Our new RUN club coach💙

“I’m Jenae, and I’m beyond excited to be joining the Fit4Mom Norfolk Team as your new RUN Coach! A little about me: I’m originally from Oceanside, CA, and I graduated from Boise State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Growing up, I wasn’t much of a runner—just a few charity 5ks here and there. But after college, I decided to set myself a goal of running a marathon. I joined a local RUN CLUB, got a job at a running store, and my love for running blossomed from there! Over the last 11 years, I’ve worked with running stores, RACE management companies, and led some amazing RUN clubs. My personal running journey includes 1 marathon, 13 half marathons, 1 15k, 5 10ks, and 31 5ks. Fun Fact: In 2024, I completed 13 5ks—one each month, both during pregnancy and postpartum! (I walked one of those 5ks until I was cleared to RUN again after giving birth.) Now, let me tell you a little about my family and me. My husband is in the Navy, and being married to him has given me the incredible opportunity to live in and explore some amazing places. We met in San Diego, and I had the chance to visit him while he was stationed in Rota, Spain. Since then, we’ve lived in two new places, including Norfolk in 2019, Pensacola in 2022, and now, we’re back in beautiful Virginia. We’re thrilled to be settling down here for at least the next five years. We have two little boys—Cooper, who’s 2, and Tyler, who’s 5 months old. Outside of running and being a mom, I love doing puzzles and unwinding with a nice glass of wine. My husband and I also enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it’s camping, fishing, or just relaxing on the boat. I’m so excited to bring my experiences and passion for running to this community. Let’s see how far we can go together on this journey!”

Meet Rachel Shafer! Our February mom of the month💗

"Hello to my current and new mama friends! I’m Rachel Shafer, I’m thrilled to be joining Fit4Mom as an instructor! I am wife to Darren and mama to Calvin and Maxine as well as my fur baby Mason. I’m currently staying at home with my kids full-time while living in the beautiful Norfolk. I’ve been a part of Fit4Mom for the past year, and it’s been such a bright spot in my life. Fun fact: I actually knew Sarah Hanna when I was 10 years old! But we didn’t reconnect until 20 years later when we were both living in Norfolk. I remember she invited me to Fit4Mom when we randomly saw each other at Chick-fil-A off Monticello. It was 2022, and I had just survived the Covid years as a new mom with my son Calvin. I didn’t really think twice about trying to fit exercise in my life at the time, but I’ll never forget Sarah was the first mom to share the Chick-fil-A kids meal hack with me of swapping the toy out for the ice cream! (Let’s be honest I eat that, not my kid ha!) But I remember thinking to myself: that Sarah is a gem! I need to keep her around. One year later, I had my second child and realized I can no longer be okay with not exercising. My physical and mental health were tanking. So, I gave it a go, and I awkwardly showed up in my still 6-months postpartum body. I was instantly welcomed and included. I didn’t feel shamed and felt like I could go at my own pace or level since all the ladies were at differing stages of motherhood and fitness. I loved meeting all the new moms and their precious kiddos! I’ve made many friends through Fit4Mom, and I even invited my neighbor to join me which really strengthened our friendship and helped hold me accountable to show up for classes. I really love the fact that I don’t have to sacrifice time with my kids to exercise, that I get to be outdoors in the fresh air, and that I get to be motivated and inspired by women in the same season of life as me. And my kids also get to socialize and interact with other kids their age in their stroller or wagon. My oldest son now attends preschool daily, and he even misses attending workout class with me! The Fit4Mom community has meant a great deal to me-we share recipes, swap maternity clothes, exchange birthing tips, and discuss nap schedules! We talk about our book club picks, our careers, and our future dreams. And now I am so excited to connect and grow even more this year with the Fit4Mom community as an instructor! Little did I know on that random day at Chick-fil-A, that Sarah would not only tell me a mom hack to get ice cream but that she would also share the ultimate motherhood hack for weathering its highs and lows- the tribe at Fit4Mom. I hope to see you and your kiddo(s) there soon!"

This World Mental Health Month, let's celebrate the power of community and the village of strong moms who support us. Having a circle of understanding friends and family can make all the difference in our mental well-being as we navigate the highs and lows of motherhood.

Mama - you don't have to go it alone. Lean on your support network, practice self-care and always know that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family.

You matter. Your mental health matters. Reach out for support when you need it is a sign of strength.

You’re doing an incredible job. ❤️

XOXO,
