Meet Tiffany

Hi! I’m Tiffany Sims the owner of The Fit Mommy Club and mother to a one-year-old baby boy named Chase! I’m 25 years old from Detroit, Michigan! I actually started the FIT MOMMY CLUB as a branch to my main business, Chase Fitness. Yes, we named our fitness business after our son – he’s truly been an inspiration for all of this. I realized we had a whole crew of new or pregnant moms who may have not felt comfortable training with the rest of our clientele. I wanted mothers to recognize that they do not have to put their fitness/health needs last! Just because we are moms doesn’t mean we aren’t capable. If anything, this is the time now more than ever to tap into our mental and physical strength! It’s common for women to believe they shouldn’t work out while pregnant as well. I want them to understand that working out can lead to a healthier pregnancy and an easier comeback after childbirth. Also, working out after having a baby helps you not only stay physically fit but mentally fit for caring for your baby.

Lastly, at the FIT MOMMY CLUB children are always welcome! Oftentimes, it’s hard finding a baby sitter so I want mothers to have access to a space where they can get in shape and not have to scramble for a sitter!

Favorite Ways To Spend Family Time:

  • At home Movie night

Favorite Places To Go:

Favorite Bedtime Stories:

Favorite Family Friendly Restaurants:

Best Park/Playground: Farmington Hills Nature Center (Farmington Hills)

We love the Farmington Hills Nature Center because of The nature center and the different trails they offer!

Best Family-Friendly Annual Event: Michigan State Fair (Novi)

Our favorite thus far would have to be the State Fair. We have a one-year-old so he really enjoys places where he can see lots of lights and colors and hear different sounds. Although he can’t really engage in games right now, walking around and seeing the many different faces and things put a smile on his face!

Your Mom Must-Have: mamaRoo Baby Swing

When our baby was a couple of months he spent a nice amount of time in his MamaRoo simply relaxing. It allowed me to get other things done without having to hold him in my arms simultaneously. I would recommend this gadget to all new moms!!

Best Winter Destination or Event: Campus Martius Park (Detroit)

I love the atmosphere of Detroit in the wintertime as well as ice skating! Even if you bring your little people they can enjoy a warm cocoa (or a warm bottle) and the nice scenery the park provides.

“Pat Yourself on the Back” Accomplishment: Conquering Parenting

The fact that we are killing it as new parents! That brings me enough joy to last a lifetime! Everything else is extra.
