Stretched Link

A stretched link makes its whole containing block clickable, so a card, list row or tile behaves like one big link. The nearest parent with position: relative (such as a card or position-relative) decides how far the clickable area reaches.

1Card with a stretched button

The button link stretches over the whole card; the dashed outline marks the clickable area.

Group classes

Open 24 hours, so you can train whenever it suits your day.
