Stroller Strides is not just a walk in the park. It is a 60-minute total body workout consisting of power walking, body toning using exercise tubing (provided), the stroller, and/or the environment, ab work, and stretching. The classes are led by nationally certified instructors. The bonus is that your child is right there with you for the ride! Also, the children are the priority of Stroller Strides, so do not worry if yours is fussy. The classes are structured so that moms can make babies happy without missing out on the workout. All fitness levels are welcome. You create the intensity, Stroller Strides brings the fun!

Stroller Strides is proud to partner with LUNA in hosting the LUNA Moms Clubs. Each month, your LUNA Moms Club will host playdates, moms’ nights out and activities for you and your family.

Check our website frequently for updates on new class dates, locations and when and where our LUNA Mom's Club playgroups meet!

As a mom myself, I understand that life is about finding balance. LUNA Moms Club was created with this aspiration in mind. By becoming a member you will build a tight community of moms to share advice, tips and most importantly laughter. Support and connect with other like-minded moms by participating in: Weekly Playgroups, Monthly Mom's Night Out, Monthly Mommy Mentoring, and Quarterly Mommies with a Mission events.

There is no cost associated with becoming a member. All we ask for is enthusiasm and a smile. You can join at any time of year. Whenever you are ready, we will be there to welcome you. Though including a workout in your routine is a powerful tool to maintaining energy and overall health, there is no requirement to enroll in Stroller Strides exercise classes to participate in the associated LUNA Moms Club.

If you've ever dreamed of making it through the finish line but don't know how to get started, this program is for you. Designed for the beginner, our aim is to accomplish a 5K run (3.1 miles). You'll learn about running form, injury prevention, increasing speed and distance, and choosing the right shoe. Ideally, interested candidates will train for approximately a 12-week period and will finish with a 5K race. You should plan to run 1-2 days per week and meet and run with the team one day per week. Andrea Luton, one of our long-time members has offered to lead our one-day a week training team. If you are interested in the training program, please email me at hollykryter@strollerstrides.net.

..."I am so happy that Stroller Strides is offered in Knoxville. I read about it in a magazine and was disappointed when it was not in Knoxville, then just about a week later I found out that you were bringing it here!

After having my son, I wanted to do something to get back into shape. I don't think I could have found a better way to do that. Because, not only do I feel so much better about myself physically, this is a great way to meet other moms who are experiencing (or have already experienced) the same things I am going through.

I look forward to every class because I know I will get a great workout, one that I can make work for me. I always feel great after class, even if I am a little sore! I also love seeing the people in our class and being able to socialize with a group of women I am comfortable with.

As a new mom, sometimes it is hard to get out of the house, but this gets me moving three days a week and makes me feel so much better about myself. My husband told me that he is glad I have found something that I enjoy and that makes me feel great. He says that the cost of my membership (which is totally reasonable) is definitely worth my happiness.

You do a great job offering modifications to all of the exercises so that we can all go at a comfortable pace. In a nutshell, it's a lot of fun!

You have brought a really great thing to Knoxville and I hope more and more moms find out about it and join us...!" Melanie



...."After my first workout with Stroller Strides, I knew that I'd found a fitness program that would work for me and my 10-week-old daughter. I had been looking for an exercise routine that would enable me to regain my pre-pregnancy shape but what I found was so much better than that!

Stroller Strides not only provides me with a challenging workout that I can tailor to my own fitness level, but it connects me with a community of fit mommies who are supporting each other through the exciting, exhausting experience of parenthood. I look forward to every workout because I know I'm doing something great for my body and I get to chat with other moms and learn from their experiences.

And the best part about it is that it works. After a few weeks, I noticed new definition in my shoulders. I felt like my waist was smaller and I lost a pants size. A few days before my daughter turned four months old, I was back at my pre-pregnancy weight and now, I look forward to enjoying even greater fitness so that the next time I get pregnant, I'll be in great shape throughout my pregnancy. I tell all my friends about this program because it's been such a positive experience for me. It's the best way to get back in shape after having a baby!" - Becky
