Formerly Home-Based Business Makes the Move to 3,000-Square Foot Office Facility

SAN DIEGO, CA (November 12, 2009) – Stroller Strides, the country’s largest exercise program for new moms and their babies, has long prided itself on being a family-friendly business that its hundreds of franchisees can operate more or less from their homes. Even more, many would be surprised to learn that this successful and fast-growing company’s corporate office was located in a residential San Marcos, CA, neighborhood – not a high-rise or business park.

Starting November 1, however, the Stroller Strides corporate team is now calling a new, nearly 3,000-square foot office “home.” The San Marcos-based office suite features four private offices, a conference room, a reception area and a fitness center for training new franchisees and testing new classes.

“In the past eight years, our company has grown from just me to now more than a dozen corporate employees, so we’ll really benefit from this added space,” said Stroller Strides founder Lisa Druxman. “This is such a turning point for the business, and we couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.”

Prior to the grand opening of the new office, Stroller Strides corporate employees shared office space in Druxman’s home (they all had keys!) when not working from their own residences, and storage units helped handle overflow of office supplies and company products.

Druxman looks back fondly on sharing her home – and close quarters – with her employees and often their growing babies, but is certain the new office will offer even more opportunity for productive teamwork. Motivational quotes and poster-size Stroller Strides and Fit4Baby photos cover the walls, and even river rocks decorated by franchisees with inspirational words sit arranged on the conference room table.

“We’ve set up the office to be such a creative and inspiring space, supportive of brand growth,” said Druxman. “It’s been an incredible journey for the Stroller Strides family thus far, and we can’t wait to see what lies ahead.”

The new Stroller Strides corporate office is located at 1850 Diamond Street, Suite 102, in San Marcos, CA. For more information on the move or to arrange an interview, editorial media can contact Jordan at On the Horizon Communications at (805) 773-1000 or jordan@thepressroom.com.

Stroller Strides classes are offered in more than 1,000 locations in the United States and Canada. The hour-long classes emphasize cardiovascular activities and muscle-strengthening exercises using resistance bands and strollers, allowing moms to interact with their babies throughout their workout. Stroller Strides now also offers prenatal Fit4Baby classes at locations nationwide. To further assist mothers in all aspects of their lives, Stroller Strides partners with LUNA®, Snikiddy® and BOB®.
