Beginners course
For anyone who wants to start running!
With our group sessions and highly acclaimed beginner’s podcast, you’ll stay motivated, keep going and reach your goal with confidence.
Have little fitness or want to learn how to run safely and avoid injuries? Then our beginner’s course is for you. Under the guidance of a professional coach, you’ll work on your fitness and running technique. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to run continuously for 30–40 minutes.
At a limited number of locations, we now offer Beginners II, a new level designed for those who have just completed the beginner’s course and are ready for the next step.
Easy running
Do you have a lower fitness level and want to improve your fitness and manage your weight in a calm and safe way? Then our Take It Easy course is for you!
As the only running school, we offer this course for people who want to build up their running gradually, at a very relaxed and safe pace. The Take It Easy course is similar to our Beginners course, but adapted to a lower fitness level. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to run continuously for around 25 minutes.
With our group sessions and highly acclaimed beginner’s podcast, you’ll stay motivated, keep going and reach your goal with confidence!
Intermediate (Levels 1 and 2)
Can you already run for 30 minutes without stopping and feel ready for more? Do you want to continue after our Beginners course, improve your fitness, increase your distance or speed, or simply enjoy the motivation of running in a group? Then our Intermediate Beginners course is for you!
At a limited number of locations, we now offer Beginners II, a new level that is a better fit if you have just completed the Beginners course.
Advanced and Marathon training
Ready to take your running to the next level? As an experienced runner, you already have a solid base and are ready to challenge yourself. Build more mileage, improve your speed, run longer distances, or train for your next half or full marathon.
With our Advanced course, you’ll train with purpose, push your limits and take your running performance to a higher level.
Powerwalk
Looking for an intense workout without the running? Powerwalk is the perfect choice! Combine brisk walking with exercises that build strength, flexibility and core stability.
Ideal if you already exercise regularly and want to take it up a notch, or if you’re recovering from a running injury. You should be comfortable walking for 30 - 45 minutes.
Under the guidance of certified coaches, you’ll work on your fitness and walking technique while burning plenty of calories and training your entire body: all in a fun, small group outdoors.
Get fit, get stronger and Powerwalk with us!
Running Bootcamp
A fun mix of running and bootcamp! Using your own body weight and the natural environment, every workout is different. Expect fresh, challenging exercises, plenty of variety and a workout that keeps you moving from start to finish.
Get ready to run, challenge yourself and have fun!
