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 of your specific questions. Each Wednesday and Saturday meeting will have pace leaders available to assist with the group training portion and help keep you on track with your goals.

As a participant in one of our online programs, you will receive the complete training schedule as outlined, but have the option of joining our 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.

There is no limit. Each program is designed to have several different pace groups (to meet everyone's running goals and abilities) and extra pace groups are added to meet demand as necessary.  We keep pacer-to-runner/walker ratios below 1:10 for the benefits of small-group attention.

Online training 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.

The customized program minimum age is 18. In each group training session there is usually a wide range of age, gender, and experience levels participating.
