Mary Beth Knight is very passionate about this business and it shows. Knight says “I myself was overweight for most of my life. At age 30 I quit smoking and started working out! I lost 50 pounds and kept it off, until pregnancy! I gained 50 pounds during both pregnancies and was afraid the weight would not come off. I tried to find fitness that was specific to my needs and stage of motherhood, that allowed me to feel better, look better and keep my kids by my side, but I could not find it. SO I DEVLEOPED IT MYSELF! After losing weight 11 years ago, I made a career out of fitness, and during the first 4 years, of motherhood have developed more than 15 products to help moms feel great and bond with their children!”
