Fit 4 Mum of the Year – Meet Jess Bray & Daisy and read their incredible fitness story

Jess and Daisy first came to a Fit 4 Mum Buggyfit Class on 3^rd February 2010 . Daisy was just over 4 months old and Jess was just over 3.5 stone heavier than she’d ever been before!

‘I just remember that first hill up to the Turkish tent and I couldn’t make it – Melissa kindly told me to stop at the bottom and march on the spot and that if I persevered week by week I would get fitter and would soon make it to the top!’

With commitment, consistency and sheer determination Jess turned up to Buggyfit twice a week every week from then on and made it her mission to get up that hill!

Having not really adopted much exercise before or during her first pregnancy with Daisy this new fitness regime was quite a shock for Jess, however it was the change of lifestyle she not only needed but embraced with open arms.

With the help of a balanced, low GI diet which she adopted herself her bi weekly Buggyfit classes and weekly aerobics class Jess has now managed to shed an incredible 5 stone and is in the shape of her life!

“ I can honestly say that during my pregnancy I let myself go and really overindulged – finding Fit 4 Mum & Buggyfit really helped me focus on getting my weight off and motivated me to get & stay fit. I remember being really nervous on my first day at Buggyfit, especially knowing how unfit I was but the classes are really manageable. Everyone is at different stages and the other mums are so friendly that there’s no need to be worried about how you will fit in.

” I really noticed myself getting fitter as time went on; Melissa does a great job at keeping the classes fun but also challenging you enough that you know you’ve worked hard!”

“I have gathered some great fitness tips from Melissa and really want to eat more healthily and keep up my exercise programme for life now – I’d love another baby and now know not to ‘eat for two’ next time”
