Meet Alyssa Darby, our FIT4MOM North Atlanta Mom of the Month! Originally from Long Island, NY, Alyssa now calls Cumming home with her husband, Adam, and their daughter, Kaylee. As a full-time eighth-grade ELA and social studies IRR teacher, Alyssa has a busy schedule, but she’s found a way to make FIT4MOM part of her routine — from joining our Saturday squad for Stroller Strides to training with Run Club+!
And when school breaks roll around? You’ll find Alyssa and Kaylee showing up to class, too! Alyssa absolutely crushed it this summer, even earning our summer attendance challenge title for attending the most classes. Talk about commitment!
But for Alyssa, FIT4MOM is about so much more than checking a workout off her to-do list. She first came looking for a community of moms who would understand this new season of life. After taking a chance on a Valentine's Day family class, she found exactly what she was looking for — and hasn't looked back since.
A self-proclaimed theater kid who is very extroverted, Alyssa has built a village of moms who get it, friendships that make motherhood a little less lonely, and a place where she and Kaylee can grow together.
Get to know Alyssa a little better!
Hometown: Long Island, NY
Favorite FIT4MOM class: Stroller Strides
Favorite must-have kid product: Her diaper bag — the more pockets, the better!

Something that might surprise you: Alyssa is one of 17 grandchildren on one side of her family. Talk about a big family!
What does motherhood mean to her? “Everything! I have my own built-in Bestie, who thinks the world of me and I think the same about her.”
And, of course, we had to ask Kaylee a few questions about her mama!
How old is Mommy? 4 (Alyssa is actually 33!)
What's something Mommy always says? “I love you.”
What is Mommy really good at doing? Singing “Twinkle, Twinkle.”
What makes you proud of your mom? “Cool.” (We'll take it!)
Alyssa, we’re so glad you took that chance on a Valentine's Day family class and found your people here. Thank you for being part of our FIT4MOM North Atlanta village and reminding us that sometimes, one class can lead to so much more than a workout.
Want to find your village, too? Whether you're a new mom, navigating toddlerhood, or just looking for a community that understands this season of life, we'd love to meet you! Join us for your first class FREE and see what FIT4MOM is all about.
