Santo Studio’s Running Division Is Where Movement Meets Meaning

In the charming coastal town famous for stunning surf spots and well-maintained shops, Santo Studio is subtly reshaping the concept of a fitness community. The Running Division in Newport Beach stands out as much more than just a regular run; it serves as a hub for culture, relationships, and personal growth.

Every Monday at 6 PM, people from the area meet up at Santo Performance Studio to explore the limits of community wellness. This gathering often leads them to one of Newport’s famous beaches, yet it’s not just about reaching a destination; it’s more about an ongoing journey that connects skateboarding, surfing, jiu-jitsu, and fashion through their collective quest for healing, strength, and unity.

Instead of a conventional fitness group driven by likes and polished selfies, Santo’s method stands out as unplugged: simply appear, exercise, converse, and repeat. By blending physical activity with genuine social engagement, the Running Division serves as a platform for authenticity in a time of carefully crafted personalities. As Creative Director Bear Degidio puts it, “When you combine fashion and performance at an authentic level…you create something extraordinary.” This philosophy permeates every aspect of the studio’s essence—from its leaders to the community it fosters. And within this community, everyone from local runners to skaters, martial artists, and creative minds drawn by more than a quick burst of dopamine finds a place.

The spirit of unity is vividly embodied within the recently inaugurated Santo Performance Studio – a sprawling 15,000 square-foot haven that surpasses conventional gym standards. It’s not just another fitness center; it’s a battleground for champions, masterminded by jiu-jitsu gurus Master Leo Vieira and Bernardo Tavolaro, strength and conditioning coach Dr. Cody Farah, boxing trainers Yogy and Jason Parillo, physical therapy stations, and recovery areas – all converging around a core concept: that the health of our community thrives best when we move together, side by side.

In an era when wellness sometimes appears commercialized, Santo Studio’s Running Division demonstrates that the most impactful act is simply showing up – with a purposeful stride.
