FIT4MOM McAllen at La Plaza Mall — Indoor Classes Begin August 4, 2025, Through February 2026
Summer may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean the sweat—and the fun—stops. We’re thrilled to announce that starting August 4, FIT4MOM McAllen will transition indoors to La Plaza Mall for our stroller fitness workouts. Join us weekly through the end of February 2026 for a refreshing, climate‑controlled fitness experience!
📍 Location Details: We'll meet inside the mall, in the hallway between The Boot Jack and H&M on the east side—just follow your GPS to H&M to find us easily and avoid getting lost inside the mall.
✅ Why We’re Excited About La Plaza Mall
1. Air‑Conditioned Comfort:
Beat the heat of South Texas and work out in a cool, well‑ventilated environment. Say goodbye to sunburn and sweat — and hello to energy focus!
2. Spacious Walkway Workout Zone:
We have ample room to spread out for our Stroller Strides workout without worrying about crowds or getting in anyone's way.

Let’s be honest—moms are often the last ones to drink enough water in a day. Between chasing toddlers, feeding babies, and juggling all the to-dos, it’s easy to forget to hydrate. But here’s the truth: drinking water is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to feel better—fast.
That’s why we created this 2-Week Hydration Challenge just for YOU!
Why Hydration Matters (Especially for Moms)
Water does more than quench your thirst. It also:
- Boosts your energy levels ☀️
- Improves focus and mood 🧠
- Supports digestion and metabolism 🥗
- Reduces headaches and fatigue 🤕
- Helps regulate milk supply for breastfeeding moms 🤱
When you’re hydrated, you feel stronger—and we’re all about helping moms find their strength in motherhood.
How the Challenge Works
Over the course of 14 days, you’ll build simple, lasting hydration habits that actually fit your busy life. Here’s how we break it down:
WEEK 1: Build the Habit
- Goal: Half your body weight in ounces of water per day (see chart below)
- Tips: Drink a glass in the morning, before lunch, and before dinner
- Tools: Use our printable tracker to check off each day and stay accountable
Summer in the RGV can be brutal — but your workouts don’t have to be! We’re thrilled to announce that FIT4MOM McAllen will be holding our signature Stroller Strides classes indoors at All Star Basketball right here in McAllen. This new location means you can stay active and connected with other mamas, without sweating it out under the blazing sun.
Why We Love Our New Indoor Space
We chose All Star Basketball because it checks all the boxes for a comfortable, convenient, and mom-friendly workout experience:
🌀 Air Conditioning
Yes, please! Say goodbye to overheating and hello to cool, climate-controlled workouts that keep you and your little one comfortable the whole time.
🏀 Plenty of Space
With a large indoor court, there’s room to move, lunge, squat, and stretch without feeling crowded. You’ll have all the space you need for a dynamic workout — stroller and all!
🚻 Clean, Accessible Bathrooms
Because when you’ve got little ones, bathroom access is non-negotiable. All Star Basketball has well-maintained restrooms right on site.

Each month we select a member of the FIT4MOM McAllen community who we think deserves some recognition for their hard work, lively spirit, and dedication to FIT4MOM.
This month, we're spotlighting Saylene Romero!
Continue reading to learn more about her.
Tell us about who is in your family.
My husband Efren, our kids Penelope and Aurelius, and our husky Bella.
Where is your hometown?
Yuma, AZ.
What is/was your career?
I just graduated w/ an Early Elementary Bachelors, but I plan on selling shampoo as my career.
How long have you been with FIT4MOM McAllen, and what has it done for you?
Since January 2023, FIT4MOM has become my community of mom friends that I talk to, laugh with, and can even go to for advice DAILY. For me and my children FIT4MOM has really shown us that exercising is IMPORTANT, but having time for our friends is also VERY important, especially because we (I) locked us in the house the first year of us living here.
What is your favorite class exercise?
- Any type of cardio - mainly because I STRONGLY DISLIKE it but love the results it brings us afterwards.
