Strides of CNY, LLC was established in 2003 with one mission… improve athleticism! The movement started in the the Summer of 2003 with a few young hockey players, a small facility, and a few weights. The boys saw results within weeks and the word was out! Each passing year, the clientele grew and the company continued to enhance the programs. The Strides movement quickly gained a reputation for success and established its self among other sports and genders, not just boys hockey. These sports include but are not limited to lacrosse, soccer, basketball, football, rugby figure skating, crew, wrestling, tennis, softball, baseball, track & field, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, cheer, and mixed martial arts.The movement also continued among the adult population... college students, young professionals, mothers, fathers, coaches, and the Syracuse SWAT team. Soon "EVERYONE" was looking for the "EDGE" that Strides delivers! As our clientele increased so did our facility in regards to space, "specific" programs, and equipment.
