This fall inFIT is celebrating its 10-year anniversary of family fitness in Albertville, and they invited me to try out some of their group fitness classes and share my experience with you!
Even though I’d never set foot inside inFIT, I was excited to give them a try because I’ve heard good things about their classes and they are so active in the STMA community. Plus, I am an at-home mom to young kids, and the fact that they offer affordable on-site child care is huge! (More about that below)

This weekend my daughter and I got to grab a sneak peek at the brand new Fresh Acres Corn Maze and all the other fun fall activities they’re preparing for their grand opening on Saturday, September 22.
Zeke Berg and his hard-working kids gave us a tour of their property that features a 5-acre corn maze, corn pit, hay bale maze, petting zoo, lawn games, and more. Plus, every weekend from now through October they’ll also be bringing in food vendors and inflatables to help make your visit to Fresh Acres something the whole family will enjoy!
