Meet Your Village: Anjali

This month, we’re so excited to introduce you to Anjali, a dedicated member of our FIT4MOM DC village who brings her passion for community, the environment, and family wellness into everything she does. You’ve probably seen her lighting it up in Body Ignite or crushing it at Body Boost — she’s someone who shows up, lifts others up, and reminds us what this village is all about. ❤️.

🏡 Meet Anjali

Anjali lives in DC with her husband, Greg, their daughter, Mina, and their son, Ishan. Though originally from Golden, Colorado, she’s called DC home for almost 20 years now (and knows all the best hidden gems in the city!).

💪 How She Found FIT4MOM DC

Anjali discovered FIT4MOM DC in Fall 2023 thanks to a friend who suggested trying out Body Well. She joined... and hasn’t looked back since!

“It’s been so easy for me to build sustainable, healthy habits. The camaraderie and sense of community make showing up for classes such a fun and natural part of my week.”

You’ll often find Anjali at Body Ignite on Tuesday nights and Body Boost on Saturday mornings — her top two classes!

🌱 What She’s Up To Outside of Class

When she’s not momming or working out with us, Anjali is out in the community. She’s deeply involved in volunteering with Free DC, advocating for local autonomy, and protecting the environment through her work with the Anacostia Watershed Society. And she doesn’t go it alone — her whole family loves getting involved!

✨ A Few of Her Favorite Things

We love asking our village members what brings them joy. Here’s what Anjali shared:

  • Annual camping trips at the Red Wing Roots Music Festival 🎶

  • Palestinian olive oil soap (you know that stuff smells amazing)

  • The stunning lotuses at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens 🌸

🚴‍♀️ Fitness Wins

This past Mother’s Day, Anjali and her daughter took on their first long bike ride together on the Capital Crescent Trail — and they’ve already got more rides planned for this summer!

We’re so lucky to have Anjali in our FIT4MOM DC family. Her dedication to her health, her community, and her family inspires us — and reminds us of all the different ways strong moms show up every day.

Be sure to say hi the next time you see her in class — and maybe ask her for tips on the best trails or eco-friendly swaps or maybe her best mom advice. She’s got great recs!
