Xponential Fitness, the owner of boutique fitness brands, has acquired Stride, a boutique running concept. Stride joins seven other brands under the Xponential Fitness umbrella including Club Pilates, Pure Barre, CycleBar, StretchLab, Row House, AKT and YogaSix.
Founded in 2017 by Misa Dugally and Katie Ownbey, Stride delivers treadmill-based cardio and strength-training classes, tailored to any level of walker, jogger or runner. The brand, which currently has one location in Pasadena, offers four types of classes for participants, including Signature Sweat, Power Burn, Ultra Run and Quick Burn.
“Since its inception in 2017, Xponential Fitness has been on a mission to procure the best boutique fitness brands and bring them under our umbrella and the acquisition of Stride has brought us to that point as the brand perfectly rounds out our portfolio with its unique treadmill-based workouts,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness. “With the addition of Stride, Xponential Fitness now has a stronghold on the boutique fitness industry that spans across multiple verticals, from Pilates to barre and yoga, and now running.”
The atmosphere at Stride is sleek and modern, housing 25 treadmills and cutting-edge technology, that evokes an unequivocally positive and welcoming sense of community. Clients run on state-of-the-art treadmills to electrifying, body-moving playlists, curated by the studio’s world-class instructors. Polar heart-rate monitors are worn by members to track results and maximize the benefits of each workout.
Xponential Fitness, backed by CEO Anthony Geisler and Snapdragon Capital, was established to bring the highest quality fitness brands together under one umbrella, housing the best brands in every vertical of the boutique fitness industry and accelerating their growth domestically and internationally.
