Groundswell is an outdoor movement community rooted in Santa Cruz.
We do the kind of classes that make you sore tomorrow, in places that make Santa Cruz worth living in — and we do them together.
Because the hardest moments make the deepest connections.
What Groundswell Offers
Outdoor fitness pop-ups
Pilates, power yoga, and more — at farms, parks, and local spots across Santa Cruz. Expect to work.
Seasonal experiences
Bigger events, new terrain, unexpected formats. Built for the people who want more than a regular class.
Activity meetups
Free, open to all. Walks, hikes, bikes — followed by drinks and real conversation. No agenda except showing up.
A community worth showing up for
Groundswell attracts a specific kind of person — ambitious, curious, and genuinely fun to be around. Show up once and
you'll see.
Local venue partnerships
Own a local space?
Host Groundswell and bring your community something worth sweating for.
Movement that earns it.
This isn't your average fitness class. Groundswell events are designed to push you — and to put you alongside people who push too. We meet at farms, parks, and local businesses you already love, and we leave every single time having done something that mattered. The modality changes. The standard doesn't.
