Friday Stairs, the weekly stair-climbing workout that has become a fixture of Tampa’s fitness and social calendar, today announced its expansion to Atlanta, with its first Atlanta workout set for Friday, November 6.
Since launching in Tampa, Friday Stairs has grown from a single workout into a standing community ritual. Each week’s session fills within five minutes of registration opening, and a waitlist running in the hundreds has become the norm rather than the exception. The demand reflects something beyond a fitness trend: participants return week after week for a professionally coached workout that doubles as a reason to show up, connect, and belong.
“Friday Stairs was never just about the workout,” said Jovany Ruiz, co-founder. “It’s become a third place for people where they can build real relationships around a shared ritual. Atlanta has the community energy and the physical spaces to make that same thing happen, and we’ve heard from enough people there that we knew it was time.”
Each Friday Stairs session is led by professional coaches, giving participants a structured, high-energy workout accessible to a wide range of fitness levels. In Tampa, the workout has activated a mix of public and private venues, including the Tampa Bay Convention Center, turning underused spaces into weekly gathering points for the community.
Atlanta is the first stop in what Friday Stairs expects to be a broader national expansion. The company has fielded interest from municipalities looking to bring Friday Stairs to their public parks, as well as from real estate developers seeking to activate their properties, with inquiries from several cities across the country.
Details on the November 6 Atlanta launch, including location and registration, will be announced in the coming weeks.
Friday Stairs is a professionally coached, community-driven high-energy HIIT-based outdoor workout for hybrid athletes that alternates between stairs and bodyweight exercises that began in Tampa, Florida. Each week’s session brings participants together for a shared fitness ritual, building lasting relationships around showing up to complete something hard. Friday Stairs is expanding to new cities by partnership with municipalities and real estate developers seeking to activate their spaces and communities.
