STRIDE Sprints Ahead with New Location in San Diego

STRIDE, a new boutique fitness franchise that offers treadmill-based interval training, is opening its newest studio in San Diego on June 22 at 785 W Ash Street. The indoor running studio will to create a welcoming, supportive space where anybody can be a walker or runner.

STRIDE San Diego is owned by local husband and wife team Tory and Charin Prestara. The couple also owns an opthamology practice in San Marcos and have had a long-time passion for health and wellness. They want to bring the community of STRIDE to Little Italy to inspire people to stay active.

The Little Italy location will be operated by Paul Le. Having moved to California to pursue his passion of fitness and wellness, Le worked up from instructor to fitness director. Le’s passion in his work environment has always been the interaction with members and seeing their progress in meeting their goals. Having worked in larger box gyms and specialized facilities, Le recognized what motivates people and keeps them coming back is the environment and who is supporting them.

“What sets STRIDE apart is the community that we’ve created – welcoming, supportive and inclusive,” said Le. “If you don’t have the best run or are having an off day, there’s going to be someone right next to you to let you know they see you working hard and that there is always tomorrow.”

With three core class formats and a unique leveling system that allows clients to take every class as a walker or runner, each individual is able to find the workout that best aligns with their fitness abilities and goals. Each class is taught by STRIDE certified running instructors to give walkers and runners the best possible in-class experience.

Founded in 2017 in Pasadena, CA, STRIDE taps into 60 million runners and 110 million people who identify as walkers in the U.S. alone with its treadmill-based workouts that provide a mix of cardio and strength intervals, all performed on their state-of-the-art Woodway Treadmills.
