NEW in 2017

This year we decided to up our game and add to our weekly Wednesday workouts on Blackstone Blvd (read all about those here). We've now added a Monday session, which we're calling Mindful Monday–it'll be the perfect way to ease into a new week and the perfect compliment to Wednesday's up-tempo high energy session. We will be meeting on Monday mornings at the BOTTOM of the Blackstone Blvd. and will explore the trails and enjoying some yoga at the rivers edge while the sun rises. Hope to see you there!

Testimonials

"I couldn't live without my weekly run with the ladies. With two toddlers at home it isn't always easy to make time for what I know I need for myself. Meeting with the group makes me run harder, go faster and think bigger about my goals- and it's paid off in more ways than I can count physically, emotionally, and psychologically."

Rosaleen, Phd + Mom of 2

"Ro helped me discover my passion for running and it's transformative effects. I caught the running bug in a big way and in less than 3 years I completed a marathon!"
