“When I started with Running Fit Lab, I couldn’t run a mile. Now I’ve lost 30 pounds, feel amazing, and actually look forward to lacing up my shoes. This community changed my life.”

— Carlos R., Danville

“I used to think running was just for fast, skinny people. Francisco’s coaching showed me it’s for everyone. I’m stronger, lighter, and happier than I’ve been in years.”
