Stroller Strides of Kirkland is celebrating its grand opening at 9:15 a.m., Jan. 7 at Northwest Aerials, 12440 128th Lane Northeast in Kirkland.

“Stroller Strides is a great way to get back in shape, as well as stay in shape,” said Hilary Storey, owner of Stroller Strides of Kirkland. “We present a fun opportunity for the moms of the Kirkland community to turn their strollers into a workout.”

Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes power walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Taught by nationally certified instructors, it’s a great workout for any level of exerciser. In 60 minutes, you will get a total body workout, improving your cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility. The classes are equally beneficial for babies as instructors will weave songs through the workout and incorporate activities to make it fun.

In addition to the classes, Stroller Strides offers playgroups and mom’s night out, giving women an opportunity to socialize and further relationships.

To celebrate their arrival in Kirkland, Stroller Strides is offering discounts on membership fees and class passes on the day of the grand opening.
