Mary Bernardo

Certified FIT4BABY Instructor

Hi! I'm Mary and I am mom to Eleanor, wife to Geoff, dog mom to Belle, and a pediatric physical therapist! I'm from Roanoke, VA, and went to Virginia Tech for college where I got to explore my love for science and how the human body works. In 2011, I moved to Richmond for physical therapy school at VCU and now work as a PT part time.I first joined the Fit4Mom community through a Fit4Baby session in 2019 when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was a game changer. Having this community was so important to my health and well being. I also found some great new friends. I have fallen in love with all things pregnancy, postpartum recovery, motherhood, and of course babies! Now, you can find me at a Stroller Strides class with Eleanor or enjoying some time to myself in Body Boost. When not working, I like to relax with my family and travel. I am so excited to give back to this community through teaching and continuing to build relationships with all of you!
