Just like you our coaches have busy careers and families. It's hard to find time to exercise consistently and stay motivated. We get it. But we've figured out how to incorporate gentle running to increase energy, reduce stress, improve mental and physical health, and sleep better. The secret is our three-tiered approach of accountability, group energy, and one of the most successful training plans ever invented that has turned hundreds of thousands of couch potatoes into happy, habitual runners. In our experience, paying monthly for a room full of soulless exercise machines just doesn't get it done. We have a way that works and is a LOT of fun!

Without further adieu, let's meet your coaches!
