Run Coach

Virginia grew up right here in Chapel Hill. She attended Wofford College where she earned a bachelor's degree in Sociology and North Carolina Central for her Master of Arts in School Counseling. She is married to Bart, also a Chapel Hill native, and they have one daughter, Marilyn, who was born in October of 2016. When she is not working, Virginia loves to read, travel, and spend quality time with friends and family.

Virginia started working out with Fit4Mom in the spring of 2018 attending weekly Body Back classes. At that time she "hated running" but since Run Club fit her schedule, she decided to give it a try and she has been a run club regular ever since. Her favorite things about run club are being outside, accomplishing goals (most recently the Tar heel 10 Miler!), and socializing with other moms. Whether you have never run a day in your life or are a running pro, she looks forward to cheering you on!

Holly was born and raised just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She received a BA in Communication

Studies from Bridgewater State University, and received a Master of Business Administration from the

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. She has spent over 10 years working in marketing and

communications in the healthcare and financial services industries.

Holly reconnected with her high school sweetheart, Eric, and they were married in early 2022. They

relocated to North Carolina a few months later, with their French Bulldog, Maple, and Boston Terrier,

Buddy.

Holly has always been passionate about living an active, healthy lifestyle. She has explored many

different forms of fitness, including running (completing many 5ks, 10ks and 3 half marathons), yoga,

barre, various HIIT and Tabata classes and personal training. The past few years she has also really

enjoyed the Peloton Tread, Bike, and workout programs.

While pregnant with her daughter in 2023, Holly knew she wanted to find workout classes where she

could bring her daughter and connect with other moms. She came across FIT4MOM, and knew she

wanted to try out Stroller Strides after she was born. When her daughter Haley was 6 weeks old, she

Michelle grew up in downstate New York. She attended Russell Sage College in upstate NY where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and International Business and then went onto the University at Albany to get a Masters in Finance. She is married to Ken whom she met while she was in college and they have two daughters: Alia a student UNC and Kira a student at NC State. Michelle was able to take early retirement from her Project Management role at LexisNexis in 2022. Now that Michelle has lots of free time she loves to spend it with Ken, her daughters and her Fit4Mom friends! She joined Fit4Mom in October 2019 by sending Amy Rosso an email that said “Not a new mom, not even vaguely” since Michelle thought F4M was only for new moms! Michelle was convinced she wasn’t a runner, but just completed her first 10 miler in 2023 and keeps signing up for more races. She keeps coming back because of the friendships she has made with all of the amazing Fit4Mom women.
