Redondo Beach is a large, active South Bay city with a running culture, beach access, and a mix of coastal-casual and working-family neighborhoods. The Esplanade along King Harbor is a popular running and cycling route. The King Harbor area and North Redondo's commercial corridor both have fitness options.

Redondo Beach athletes and the S&C advantage

Runners: Redondo Beach hosts one of the most popular road races in Southern California — the Super Bowl Sunday 10K, typically drawing thousands of runners each February. The strength training that protects runners from injury and improves their economy does not come from running more miles. It comes from a programmed resistance training program. See off-season strength for the Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K and strength training for Beach Cities runners.

Beach sport athletes: The stretch from Redondo to Hermosa to Manhattan Beach is one of the most active volleyball corridors in the country. Strength training for beach sports goes directly into lower body explosiveness and shoulder health. See beach volleyball strength programming.

Working professionals: North Redondo has a dense residential base of professionals who commute to the El Segundo tech corridor, LAX, and the West Side. The 10-15 minute drive to Gate 14 is a natural part of the work-area commute.
