Stroller strides

[katinthehat]

yes, a local friend of mine has a baby bootcamp franchise and has three boys. She's in amazing shape and it has everything to do with the class. But, it's very hit or miss depending on instructor I think. I've tried two and didn't like either of them because they weren't challenging enough for me.

I would try it! I didn't buy a jogging stroller for my DD until I was well into training plans, so I never participated in it, but I will try it out whenever I have my next baby.

I went to a couple of free classes when a franchise started here while I was on mat leave and liked it, but the times don't work with my schedule now that I'm back to work. My neighbor goes frequently and loves it though.

They should give you a free session to try it out. Try both, perhaps the instructors are great.
Plus, you're a fitness instructor so you'll be able to know if things are up to par.
If they're not, business opportunity! How do feel about franchises? 

I would love to be an employee but I wouldn't want to start a franchise until we are settled into a neighborhood (plan to buy a house this year). I do wonder what their fees are for franchise owners.

OMG, daisybuchannan I couldn't imagine doing that class with a kid over 2. 
I really thought it was for non-mobile  babies or really young toddlers only. 

Lol, it was really...something to see a screaming 3 year old chuck his toys around while the mom ignored. Again, my kid is a lot younger than that so I'm sure I don't fully get it, but yeah. Not exactly a relaxing workout experience.

daisybuchannan can I do the class if DS is still in the infant seat attached to his stroller?

Yup! If you're going to do any jogging the stroller needs to be a jogger though.
