What is Stroller Strides?
Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes Power Walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Taught by specially trained instructors, it's a great workout for any level of exerciser. Please get doctor's permission before starting this or any other exercise.

What do I need?
You, your baby and the stroller. Just about any kind of stroller will do so long as it's not prone to tipping. We also suggest you bring WATER, a hat or sunblock for both you and your baby, and a towel or mat for our ground exercises.

Each class consists of a warm up, a power walk and "stations" where we do a variety of body toning exercises. We use exercise tubing (which we provide you with), the stroller and the environment to create our gym. If your baby is fussy, we will show you exercises that you can do with your baby.

Your first class is FREE, please come any time to try one! We meet MWF at 9:30am and T/TH at 9am, meet at Bruce's Beach at Highland & 27th Street. Classes take place on the beautiful Manhattan Beach Strand.

Here's what moms have said about our group:


"Stroller Strides helps me to be a positive role model for my girls because they see me exercise and take care of myself.

I have never been so excited to workout after having a baby! It is a great way to meet new moms and work out with your little one.<o:p></o:p>

Stroller Strides has not only provided a great network of women that have been very supportive after having my first child, but also a great workout. I feel I'm in the best shape of my life, both physically and mentally!

I love Stroller Strides because my daughter can be with me while I work out, seeing me do so and cheering me on. I also enjoy the friendly people I have met and the relaxed playground time that follows every class. It shows my daughter that fitness and health is a part of each and every day... for all of us.

After having my baby it was really hard for me to motivate to do something nice for myself. Finding Stroller Strides has given me new friends and something really healthy for my physical and mental health!! Thank you Stroller Strides.

Stroller Strides is more than just an exercise class. For me, it has been a social outlet for my family. As a new mom, it introduced me to lots of other new moms with similar interests.
Stroller Strides gives me motivation to get out everyday! I can interact with other moms and get a great workout at the same time. I didn't have a workout plan before I got pregnant and had a baby so this has been a great way for me to get back into exercising as well.

9 months after having my daughter, I moved to LA, so not only was I in the new world of stay-at-home suburban motherhood, I was literally in a new world. I went to my first Stroller Strides class because a new friend had been doing it, but I was very cynical of a group of moms running around pushing strollers and calling it exercise. I couldn't have been more wrong. I could barely keep up with the more seasoned moms...thank goodness there were other newer moms like me who wanted to take it slower. Two years later, I've lost 15 pounds, I run with the best of them (most of the time!), and I feel strong. Socially, I've made WONDERFUL, real friends - people who I see outside of Stroller Strides, and whose husbands are my husband's friends. And my daughter has a great group of friends her age. We really feel like we're part of a community of families now, and that has made all the difference for us."
