The owner

Lives in the neighborhood

"I wanted the gym I'd send my own track kids to."

Andre coached high school track for eleven years before buying the Brookside franchise in 2022. He picked Homestretch for the programming and the coach training, then built everything else around this neighborhood: early classes for commuters, six Prime classes for the regulars who asked, and a front desk that answers its own phone.

Why Homestretch hits different in Brookside

Brookside is a walking neighborhood, so the studio is built for walkers: half a block from the shops, a bike rack by the door, and a parking lot we share with the bakery that makes the whole street smell like bread at 6 AM.

The timetable follows the neighborhood, too. Commuters get 5:30 AM classes every weekday, parents get a 9:30 AM slot after the school drop-off, and on the first Saturday of the month we take class outside to the big park west of the shops, free for anyone who shows up.

Our neighborhood partners and events

  • 5:30 AM classes every weekday for the commute crowd
  • 9:30 AM Reset and Prime slots after school drop-off
  • 1st Sat free Park Session, April to November
  • Thu 6:30 optional trail jog to finish Engine

Sample reviews written for this demo site.

All reviews
"I tried two big gyms before this and never went back after week three. Here the coaches know my name and notice when I skip a Tuesday. Andre's Saturday class is the best hour of my week."
Monica R. Member since 2023 Hybrid
"I am 68 and had not exercised in ten years. Dot's Prime class is patient and funny. Getting up off the floor without grabbing the couch was my goal, and I can do it now."
Lorraine K. Member since 2023 Prime 55+
"The 5:30 Engine class is hard in the right way and Renee is great. Only knock: the parking lot is tight at 5:25, so walk or bike if you can."
Dev P. Member since 2025 Engine
