September 2025 Mom of the Month: Cassie Ochoa

Hello! Please introduce yourself...

Hi, y’all! I’m Cassie Ochoa

Where were you born?

  • I was born in Chicago, Illinois

    Where do you call home?

    I would normally call home where I grew up in McAllen, TX, but have lived in the Spring/Tomball area for about 10 years now. This is where I built my little family, so here is home

    Introduce your kiddo/s.

    I have one son, Estevan Ochoa, who will be 3 in September.

    How long have you been Stroller Striding/FIT4MOMming and how did you find us?

    I believe I’m going on for 2 years with Fit4Mom. I was looking for a gym at the time that had childcare, but I couldn’t get over leaving my son with strangers (first time mom problems) lol. Then a friend back in McAllen posted about her workout with Fit4MOM, so I checked if they had one in my location, and boom!

    Share a hidden talent.

    This is a hard question. I guess I can consider myself crafty. Once I envision a project, I surprise myself on how good it comes out.

    Share a favorite mom moment.

    It’s so hard to pick one, but I would have to say when Estevan kissed me and said, “I love you, mama”. It was so heart-warming.

    Share a most challenging mom moment.

    The hustle with trying to keep up with it all! Making sure your child is eating the right food, getting enough outside time, regulating their emotions etc., Some days you ace, and others are not the best, but we learn from it and grow!

    What did you do before kid/s?

    I was an elementary teacher and a school librarian.

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

    I would love to go back into education. Preferably work wherever my son ends up going to school.

    What keeps you coming back to FIT4MOM?

    Not only for the great workouts, but the community! I love seeing all the kids grow up in front of my eyes and chatting with the mamas about anything and everything.

    Share 3 things you love to do other than FIT4MOMming

  • 1. Trying new restaurants/cuisines

    2. Exploring all the great things Houston has to offer

    3. Traveling with my family & friends
