Liz Tomasi, owner of The Mommy Movement LLC, is the loving mother of Sev (born in 2007), and wife to Ric Tomasi. She co-founded The Mommy Movement in December 2007, with her best friend, Amanda Swearingen (former co-founder). She is now the sole owner of TMM, as well as the main stroller fitness and baby yoga instructor. She is certified as a pre/postnatal fitness specialist, and is a stroller fitness trainer.

 Liz enjoys almost any type of fitness, running being one of the big favorites. She ran her first half marathon in November 2008, and really loved the challenge. Liz also has a passion for working with children. She attended the University of Missouri St. Louis for Early Childhood Education. She worked as a preschool teacher before having her daughter, Sev. After Sev was born, Liz decided to stay at home with her and work towards starting her own business. She joined a stroller fitness class, and realized it was her calling. It was the perfect way to spend time with Sev, get a great workout and meet other moms. Stroller fitness combined two of her favorite things in the world, fitness and children. Liz absolutely loves leading other moms into health and fitness.

          

Nikki Gomez , mother of Ezra (2008) and Maxton (2010) and wife to Jose. She has been very fortunate to be able to stay at home and take care of her sons while working one day a week as a registered nurse at STL Children's Hospital.

Nikki became a member of The Mommy Movement in late Summer of 2008 and started attending almost every stroller fitness class we had to offer. During classes she not only lost all of her baby weight, but an additional 5 pounds! She has enjoyed meeting other moms who are also active outdoors with their little ones. She believes these classes have been a wonderful way for her sons to have social interaction with other children and for her to have the motivation to help her meet her fitness goals. Nikki is a former college athlete and has been involved in athletics for most of her life. She enjoys running, volleyball, mountain biking, and enjoyed TMM classes so much that she decided to become more involved and took the opportunity to begin instructing classes. She has been trained by a certified stroller fitness instructor and has also done extensive research on fitness and healthy living. Don't miss out on Nikki's great workouts!

Adrienne became a member of The Mommy Movement in late Fall of 2009. After attending just a few classes she was hooked! She even talked her mother, Teresa, into attending classes with her. Teresa soon became an avid class attender as well. Adrienne's most favorite thing about stroller fitness classes is that she can bring her son Liam with her and still get a great workout. A few other activities Adrienne enjoys are running, hiking, kayaking, weight lifting and running 5k's with Liam in the stroller. Adrienne is very knowledgeable in many areas of health and fitness. Come out to a class to see her in action!

Marissa joined TMM in Spring of 2009 as a way to shed the 90 lbs she put on during her first pregnancy. She started attending every class TMM had to offer and shed 50 lbs before becoming pregnant with her daughter Lucy. She continued attending classes throughout her pregnancy with her Lucy, which not only  made her feel amazing, but also helped her not gain any more weight. Since the birth of her daughter, Marissa is below her pre-pregnancy weight and is continuing to lose. She loves how classes allow her to model fitness and a healthy lifestyle for her children, as well as help her meet moms with similar interests. Marissa has played sports most of her life, and enjoys running, basketball, camping, healthy cooking and competing in races. She is very excited to be competing this year in Conquer Castlewood with her fellow TMM instructor, Nikki! Marissa has a passion for working out and loves helping other moms reach their fitness goals and lose weight. She has been trained by a certified stroller fitness instructor and continually researches ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Check out Marissa’s rockin’ workouts!!
