Stroller Strides Basic Information

- Getting Started

Choose a location and preferred class time. Register online at one of the two Houston area Stroller Strides websites, Stroller Strides NW Houston or Stroller Strides Memorial. Come and enjoy your free class! Be sure to arrive 5-10 minutes before class starts!

- What You Need

To participate in a Stroller Strides class you need a sturdy stroller (no umbrella strollers please), plenty of water for you and your little ones, sunscreen, and a towel or mat for ground exercises. Exercise tubing is provided. Other recommended items are hat or visor, bug spray, rain shield, stroller net, and a few toys to entertain your little ones (we do a lot of entertaining ourselves, but sometimes they prefer a toy).

- Houston tends to get a little hot and rainy…what is the bad weather policy?

In inclement weather situations, classes will be moved to an indoor location. Changes made to class times and locations will be posted at least one hour before class starts. You can also call Ami or Valerie if you have questions!

-When You Can Start

We require that new moms start classes no earlier than 6 weeks postpartum. Please be sure to get clearance from your doctor before exercising. Other than that you are welcome to start any time!

Some FAQ’s

-What if my child gets fussy?

Our first priority is the happiness of your baby. Tend to your baby first. Because we stop every few minutes for body toning, you can always catch up with us if you get behind. If your baby ever fusses so much that you miss a class, we will happily credit you another class.
