STRIDE Club

This student-run club works to connect Cal Poly students of all majors with the STRIDE Organization. Club members aim to spread health awareness by promoting physical activity and healthy eating habits throughout the campus community and strive to broaden students' understanding of what STRIDE has to offer.

STRIDE Club's goal is to help students stay healthy while dealing with all the stresses and pressures that come with being in college. The club also sponsors various health and fitness activities and encourages participation in the FLASH Study. They also inform about and urge students to get involved with the various programs of STRIDE: Health Ambassadors, Pink and Dude Chefs, A Team, Activity 4 All, Fit Moms, etc.

Currently, STRIDE Club is heavily focused on providing easy access to the STRIDE programs, as well as staying in contact with all health and fitness clubs across campus. This way, STRIDE Club can inform interested students about all (not just within STRIDE) the fun activities, presentations, events, etc. related to health and fitness at Cal Poly. All Cal Poly students are welcome to join this health-conscious group.

Current Activities

  • STRIDE Club meetings are the first Tuesday of every month from 11:10-12:00pm in building 43A room 261. They always provide free snacks!
  • This quarter, the club is becoming a STRIDE liaison for Cal Poly students by providing them updates on the events going on within each program and how they can get involved. In addition, STRIDE Club is beginning to partner with health and fitness clubs across campus in order to inform their members of all activities (events, volunteer opportunities, etc.) related to health that are happening on or off campus.
  • STRIDE Club is focused on providing students and staff with information about other ways to get exercise, including hiking or biking on trails in the San Luis Obispo community.
