RUNNING STRONG PROGRam

Our Running Strong Program is for people who run as competitors, as part of a fitness routine, or for mental health. Our goal is to help runners of all ages and ability levels become stronger and run more efficiently, so they can continue to run, injury-free, for years to come.

Program Elements:

Unlimited Open Gym Access: $125/month.

2/week training program: $25/month access.

Optional offering: 2 private training sessions with Running Strong Coach Nick to review movements and program outline. $150/hour.

Program Foundations:

•Injury Prevention/Consistency
Strength training builds stronger, more resilient connective tissues (muscle, bone, tendon, ligament), allowing athletes to train harder and with more frequency, all while avoiding injury.

•Efficiency/Muscular Power
Power is a necessity for success in distance running. Our Running Strong program aims to increase runners' ability to create and access power.

•Longevity/Health
While running has significant cardiovascular benefits, it often falls short when it comes to balance and sustainability. We will address issues and ailments common to runners, with the goal of enabling athletes to enjoy running for years to come.
