Three mother-daughter pairs — and one son — got up early to celebrate Mother’s Day in a way that would honor their bond and their bodies.
Kathryn Adelman, founder of the local Facebook group, Move Sarasota, led the free mother-daughter bootcamp class May 12 at Lido Beach, to which she invited her mother, Christine, and brother, Westley. Kathryn Adelman started the group to provide more female support in the local workout community.
With her mom in town, Adelman wanted to lead a workout class for other mother-daughter pairs to celebrate together on the special day.
Because it was her first time teaching a class on the beach, Adelman incorporated different components, such as having the pairs compete in crab races and giving mother-daughter pairs the chance to create their own exercises.
Adelman, who moved to Sarasota from Illinois during the pandemic, is a certified independent trainer who leads free outdoor workout classes around the area, mostly in Payne Park in Sarasota. She also hosts a Run Club that is open to everyone, including men.
Adelman’s friend Sami Hobbs and her mother, Sonja Kaiser, also participated. Hobbs is the founder of the Facebook group Movers and Shakers, which is a networking group for women entrepreneurs in Sarasota. Adelman joined Movers and Shakers to meet other businesswomen in the area and found a good friend in Hobbs.
Shannon Hill was working out on the beach that morning on her own when she was invited by Adelman to workout with the class. Hill is here from Georgia for the month and said she was looking for a workout community. That is just what Adelman is hoping to provide.
“It was super nice of them to invite me to work out even though I didn’t even sign up for the class or wasn’t here as a pair,” said Hill. “I’m excited to come out for more workouts. I think it will be great motivation and such an amazing way to meet new people.”
