Fluid Running for Athletes

Fluid Running’s high-intensity workouts harness the power of water, pushing you past your limits without negative impact to your body.

Challenging and Effective

Fluid Running is a game changer for runners. Mimicking land running form in the deep end, Fluid Running is the most sport specific workout to maintain your running fitness, even while injured. The time spent running in the pool equals time running on land, but without the impact! The resistance of the water while running gets your heart rate high and keeps your legs strong. If you’re injured, we can help you get to the start line. Better yet, reduce the chance of injury by adding Fluid Running to to your training plan.

“I got my heart rate up to 170. 170 in the pool is really hard to do!
