Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never joined a program before and am a little unsure if
this is the right atmosphere for me.
It is the goal of Get Fit Live Fit Directors and Program Administrators to ensure that each and every individual feels welcome, has a positive experience and enjoys the entire process. We want you to achieve your goals regardless of what they may be or how they may compare to others. They are your goals and we’re here to help you!
I’ve never run before - are there any classes for me?
Consider trying the Beginning Runner 5k class. The main goal of each clinic is to teach you how to run continuously or to run a 5K.
How much does it cost to participate? What is included?

What’s the benefit to me for joining one of the training programs?
Walking and Running with a group provides motivation, friendship, ensures adherence and support to keep you walking and running, so that you can achieve your goals. Our program instruction helps ensure you are walking or running properly to prevent injury and there is always someone on hand to answer any questions you may have. Our educational talks are designed to have professionals available to answer any and all of your specific questions. Each Wednesday and Saturday meetings will have pace leaders available to assist with the group training portion and help keep you on track with your goals.
If I join, will I have a personal coach available to me at
each practice session and will they be there to follow up with
me and keep me on track with my goals?
As a participant in one of our online programs, you will only receive the complete training schedule as outlined, but have the option of joining our Wed/Saturday training sessions if you’re local. If you’ve signed up for one of our customized training sessions, you will receive a program written specifically for you based upon the information to provide during the initial survey process. Each program is written by a professional and experienced coach. Each Wednesday and Saturday training session will have pace leaders and other program members participating and coming together to execute their specific workouts together as a group. The rest of the week, it’s up to you to follow your individualized program. Our educational seminars and online email resources will also be available to provide you with the proper information to assist you in achieving your individual goals.
If you want personal coaching with regular direct contact with one or more of our Get Fit Live Fit Expert’s, please sign up for one of the personalized options available to you for your desired category.
How many people can sign up for each program offering?
There is no limit. Since each program is designed to have several different pace groups (to meet everyone's running goals and abilities), the number of pace groups will be expanded to meet a larger group of participants. These groups meet on Wednesdays
and Saturdays.
Is it still possible to sign up for a clinic after it has already started?
Online only. Registration ends one week prior to the start of each scheduled group training session. If you miss this deadline, you can still register for an online program, but registration will be closed for all customized program offerings for that current program session offering.
Will I be too young/old to be in a clinic?
Currently, the customized program minimum age is 18 and over. With these training programs, there is usually a broad range of age, men vs. women and experience levels participating.
