A workout space for mothers is expanding its footprint in Manitowoc.
FIT4MOM will be holding a grand opening at Citizen Park on August 19th, with owner Ellie Bode on hand to lead a free Stroller Strides fitness class.
Bode and her husband, Rev. Seth Bode, moved to Manitowoc in October of 2025 with their two young children.
Ellie was a member of FIT4MOM North Indy in Indiana after their oldest was born, and was a member there for almost 6 years before moving to Wisconsin.
Bode, who earned the Judge’s Award and Best Community Impact Award at Progress Lakeshore’s Idea Spark back in June, said of the grand opening, “FIT4MOM creates a supportive community focused on well-being and fitness that can ultimately change the trajectory of your life, and I am honored to lead moms in gaining significant strength in motherhood.”
The event, which is free and open to anyone, will also include giveaways, prizes and refreshments.
Classes will be offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:30 a.m. at Citizen Park, but when the weather cools off or it is raining, classes will be held at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center.
