“Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by discomforts.” - Arnold Bennett
In 2013, we set out on our own personal fitness journeys. What started out as friends working out together blossomed into the fitness community that you know and love today. We were young, naive and excited to talk about fitness to anyone who would listen.
Well that was almost ten years ago and our lives - and the world - are a lot different now. As we continue to learn, grow and adapt, it’s important to us that this community does, too.
Which brings us to a very important update…
Over the next few months, City Fit Girls will merge with Strides, our running-based fitness community.
Don’t worry, , we’re still going to be the best all-levels fitness community that we can be. There will be group runs, group workouts, and coaching. We will continue to advocate for affordable fitness options and diversity within the health and wellness industry. Most importantly, we’ll continue to lead with our “no runner left behind” philosophy.
With that said, we want to ensure that this space is inclusive for all, not just those of us who identify as women. That’s why we’ve decided to begin phasing out the City Fit Girls brand completely by the end of the year.
The next few weeks will be filled with transitioning our social media, website, newsletter and all public facing branding. It won’t be an overnight process so we ask that you’re patient as we navigate this transition.
If you’re wondering about what else is changing, there’s no need to worry:
- Strength Club, our dumbbell strength training program will continue to help runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts get stronger with just 2-3 consistent workouts every week.
- The Weekly Newsletter will continue to help you prioritize your mental and physical health but we’ll dive deeper into topics and share more resources to educate and empower you.
- You can still say, "Hey! We met through City Fit Girls, right?" if you met before the rebrand.
Whether you’ve been a member of this community for 8 years or 8 weeks, we look forward to the chance to workout with you and support you along your fitness journey. Here's to the next chapter, .
