Stroller Strides

Stroller Strides has been such a huge part of my life for the last 4 years! I joined when my first son was 6-​months-​old and it was a life-​saver. I don’t have any family down here and I felt really isolated at home with my son all day while my husband was at work. A friend told me about Stroller Strides and I gave it a try (they offered the first week free at that time). I ran into another mom who had been in my birthing class and the group was so welcoming and supportive. I immediately fell in the love with the group, instructors and exercising at Balboa Park was a big plus too! I have made my closest friends through Stroller Strides and my boys (I have 2 now) have made their closest friends too! In addition to being a great workout (it’s how I lost all the baby weight), the support and friendship with the other moms is priceless! There is also weekly playgroups for the kids after class, Mom’s Night Out once a month, Vendors of the month, and more! I recommend it to every new mom (and moms who just never heard of it)! I love that I can get a great workout with my boys (they have to stay in the stroller) instead of dropping them off at the gym daycare.

Wow, what a great workout! I recently started going to these fitness classes and I am already hooked. The instructors are so friendly and patient. I have been to a few different locations; carmel valley, la jolla, and encinitas. They were all in nice parks and who doesn’t love working out outside when we live in San Diego. I would highly recommend this to any mom with brand new babies or toddlers. You can either walk, jog, or run — a great pace for any level. You get some cardio around the neighborhood, then stop at a station for squats, sit-​ups, resistance bands, etc. The instructors even keep it interesting for the little ones by incorporating songs, bubbles, or rattles. Its just a wonderful idea and perfectly executed. The price is ideal, too.

I just used a free week pass and I am going back to buy a membership.
The instructors are great, the workout is AWESOME and its an added bonus that you get to meet other moms in the area and do something outdoors and fun with your kiddo.
Great for Pregnant women, New Mommies & Veteran Moms.

I discovered Stroller Strides after the birth of my first child and it was a total lifesaver. I didn’t know ANYONE who had kids, and I’ve been involved in fitness my whole life, so this was a great opportunity to work out with other moms. Yay! My son loves the classes as much as I do! The instructors are amazing, and you get to socialize while working out — what a great combo! There are class locations all over San Diego County, not just here in Carlsbad. I definitely encourage any mom who wants to get in shape, have fun, and meet other moms to check out a class.
