See the originial article in Gym Owner Monthly here.

As the fitness landscape shifts toward more efficient, results-driven workouts, one concept is quickly rising to the top: where strength meets sweat.

Enter STRIDE Fitness, the boutique concept redefining hybrid training with a 50/50 blend of treadmill-based cardio and strength training, all within a single, high-energy, coach-led class.

Unlike traditional run clubs or strength-only studios, STRIDE is built on the idea that you should not have to choose between building muscle and improving endurance. Each 55-minute class is designed to deliver both, pairing performance-driven intervals on Woodway treadmills with functional strength work using custom equipment, all backed by real-time performance tracking.

But what truly sets STRIDE apart is the full experience. This is not just about pushing harder. It is about training smarter. With intentional recovery built into the model through dedicated Recovery Zones featuring massage and compression therapy, STRIDE reflects a larger shift in fitness where recovery is just as important as the workout itself.

Led by industry veterans like CEO Shaun Grove, who helped scale Club Pilates into a global powerhouse, and President & COO Anthony Badalian, known for building high-growth boutique brands, STRIDE is positioned at the intersection of performance, community, and scalability.

With its newly opened flagship in Huntington Beach serving as both a training destination and innovation hub, STRIDE is quickly becoming a go-to for those looking to train harder, recover smarter, and get more out of every session.
