NYC: Free Class at the Mile High Run Club

NYC: Free Class at the Mile High Run Club

By: Toni Carey (@toni_carey/@blackgirlsrun)

There's gyms dedicated to spin, crossfit and weightlifting, but what about running? Now there is! Allow me to introduce you to NYC's  first and treadmill-only gym, Mile High Run Club. With daily group treadmill classes and endurance focused strength training led by elite runners, everyone trains like an athlete regardless of fitness level. Their program challenges the body differently than simply getting a few miles in. Expertly structured intervals and smart purposeful training guarantee you will reach your goals more quickly. The studio features a distraction free flex room for foam rolling, gait assessments, or one-on-one time with its team of elite coaches. Let me also introduce you to one of the amazing instructors at the Mile High Run Club AND, also one of the fiercest ladies I know, Andia Winslow. She's bad*ss. No, seriously. I met Andia earlier this year at SXSW and she had me at hello. Not only does she have an impressive record as an athlete (golf and bobsledding!), but her innovative fitness and wellness efforts have been recognized globally!   Her class, #Dash28, is a group interval running session that also incorporates kettlebells and core work. For those curious, classes are held on top-of-the-line Woodway treadmills. Although it is a "running" studio, her class is for runners and non-runners alike.
