Each session begins with a dynamic 5-minute warm-up, followed by 20 minutes of power, stability, and strength training that even those who choose not to run can participate in. Then, we run a 5K (3.1 miles) together, ending with breathwork and stretching cooldown.

Runners should wear running sneakers and bring water. Members and non-members are both encouraged to bring friends and enjoy a good time run!
