Mom-entrepreneur

(Sunday, January 07, 2007) - Lisa Druxman is the founder and CEO of the fitness franchise Stroller Strides. She created the business after the birth of her son, Jacob in 2001. She had been in the fitness industry for a decade at that time, but desired a career that was supportive of motherhood. She decided to combine her passion for fitness and motherhood by creating a stroller workout business. It was a win-win. She could bring her son to work with her and do the work that she loved. A feel-good program was born. It seems that all moms want to get back in to shape after having a baby, but they also seek the camaraderie and support that can be found within the Stroller Strides classes. Druxman started with just a few moms in San Diego. One year later, she had 1,000 moms participating in her hometown and requests from thousands more across the country. After much personal success, she franchised the business so that she could share that opportunity with other women nationwide. The program now has more than 300 locations in nearly 40 states. Druxman and her program have been featured on The Today Show, CNN and Access Hollywood, and in publications such as Entrepreneur, Woman's Day and more. Stroller Strides was voted one of the top 25 companies in the country to work for by Working Mother magazine because of its support of motherhood. Druxman is also the monthly columnist on Entrepreneur.com for their Mom-Entrepreneur section.
