Come see West Highland Terriers (Westies) from all across north Alabama parade around the center at our annual Westies Walk!
BE MORE YOU launched this spring to embolden our audience and reinforce personal confidence in one’s self. Now, more than ever, people are feeling the need to express themselves. To be felt for who they are and who they’ve become over the past couple of years. Bridge Street is the perfect place for them to answer the question: Who do you want to be?
Each month we are going to highlight a local gem of Huntsville who shows what it’s like to BE MORE YOU.
For the month of May we are featuring a local mom and business owner, Rebecca Guntharp!
Rebecca is a local mom of two and owner of FIT4MOM Madison. Rebecca has been a small business owner since 2018. She is a Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Group Fitness Instructor and specializes in training prenatal and postnatal women.
What made you get involved with FIT4MOM Madison?
In 2016, I had just moved to the U.S. from London (I’m a dual U.K./U.S. citizen). I was also a first-time parent with a newborn looking for a community to help me learn more about the area, make new friends and navigate motherhood. FIT4MOM checked all the boxes. I took my first class and found this amazing community…and it became my home away from home. Eventually, I was able to make my passion for FIT4MOM my career and I purchased the franchise here in Madison in 2018. Now I get to pay forward the love and support that I received from FIT4MOM when I was a new mom to other families in Madison and Huntsville.
What makes you, you?
I’m a mom of two, wife and entrepreneur. So there are many different versions of ‘me’. But at the foundation of those is a person with a sense of adventure. I love taking on new challenges, exploring new places and trying new things. I’m a big advocate of always trying something new and saying yes to as many things as much as possible…you never know where it will lead.
How can you help others embrace their individuality?
I believe that when you are prioritizing your physical, mental and emotional strength, you can be the best version of yourself. That’s easy to say but honestly really hard to do in practice. It’s easier when you have a community there to help you. There are so many amazing groups in Madison/HSV…so whether it’s a workout group, trivia group, hiking group, hobby group, church group, or knitting group…try something new and find your Village.
What are some summer fun activities you like to do with your kids at Bridge Street?
We love summer at Bridge Street! I’m at Bridge Street almost every week in the summer months. We start our day with a FIT4MOM workout (pssst…come workout at Bridge Steet with us every Friday at 9:30 am), then we head to the pop jets. My girls love to play in the water to cool off, and I love hanging out on the shaded benches chatting with the other families and watching my girls play. Usually, we’ll then take a spin on the carousel, and finish out our morning on the Urban Cookhouse patio for lunch. My kids LOVE the UC piggy mac and this mama loves their Strawberry Lemonade!

For the month of April we are featuring a local philanthropist and business developer, Tish Henderson!
What’s your name? My name is Tish Henderson, owner of Tish Hardric & Associates, LLC.
What made you start Tish Hardric & Associates, LLC? During the pandemic, I saw a crucial need for small businesses and non-profits to receive support in order to sustain their businesses. Many individuals were seeking help to start small businesses as additional sources of income. Having a strong background in business, relationships nationwide, and a desire of helping others, I formed Tish Hardric & Associates, LLC in August 2020. Since that time, the business has grown to serve 480+ clients across 22 states in the U.S. and an additional office opening soon in the Midwest region of the U.S. My goal is to make every client feel like our only client and a member of our family.
What makes you, you? I always try my best to be a good citizen and support local charities and growth of my community. Supporting non-profit organizations has always brought me great satisfaction. Outside of work and philanthropy, I love spending time with my family, playing golf, hiking, and creative writing.
How can you help others “Be More You?” As a huge advocate of positivity, I am a firm believer that your attitude determines your altitude. I encourage all to aim high and BE MORE YOU!
