Bend is America's outdoor-town boom made permanent: a decade of national growth headlines, remote wealth that came for Bachelor mornings and Deschutes miles, and a population that may train harder per capita than any city its size. The recovery half of that life has no home. STRIDE Fitness is awarding Bend territories now, one owner per territory.

Do I need fitness industry experience to open a STRIDE Fitness studio in Bend?
No. Most STRIDE Fitness owners come from business, corporate, or entrepreneurial backgrounds rather than fitness.

What matters in Bend is leadership, community focus, and meeting the financial qualifications.
What support does STRIDE Fitness provide Bend owners?
Support runs from territory award through opening day and beyond: site selection and lease guidance in your Bend market, build-out management, coach recruitment and training, the pre-sale marketing system, and ongoing operations support once the studio is open.
