Welcome to the local Stroller Strides page for Memphis, Germantown, Cordova and Collierville, Tennessee. We are all about total wellness for moms and kids. We are experts in pre and postnatal fitness and would like to invite you to try out a full week of class for FREE! Check out our class times and locations to the left, as well as our Bad Weather Policy below.

How are you doing with your fitness and wellness goals? Do you need a little extra motivation? Stroller Strides is a great program to give you that boost. Research shows that when you commit to a group exercise program you're more likely to stick with it. Someone is counting on you to be there! With Stroller Strides, you don't have to put your baby in childcare to workout and you get to meet a ton of new moms just like you.

Pregnant? You can do these workouts too!

Our hour-long classes consist of a warm-up followed by intervals of cardio and strength training using exercise bands, the environment and the stroller. We save time for abs and flexibility at the end of class. It is a great total body workout for all fitness levels! Everyone works at their own pace because we offer modifications for every exercise. Don't worry if your baby gets fussy. Since we stop for toning throughout the class, you will catch up at the next station if you have to stop and tend to your child. We're all moms, we know that kids come first!

All you need is your child(ren), a stroller, water and a towel or mat for ground work. Just come to class, your first week is free! Your instructor will have you fill out a registration form, teach you how to use the exercise bands and introduce you to everyone.

New research shows that you burn 20% more calories pushing a stroller than walking alone. It's akin to pushing a lawnmower around or walking/running uphill!

Interval workout (alternating cardio and strength training) has recently been proven to get you back in shape as effectively as longer segments of either type of exercise. You allow your body to recover from one interval as you focus on the next but you keep your heart rate and metabolism up! Come on out and see what we're all about and keep it up with those healthy goals.

By request we have added regular Saturday classes. They will alternate location every week. Husbands, friends, older kids on bikes or scooters are welcome to join our workout.
