MoveStrong into Spring!

We are excited to share that the new MoveStrong program builds on and replaces the Train to Run 5k / 10k program.  MoveStrong has been carefully designed by two fitness professionals whom you know -- Stacey Mann and Clare Neal --  to help adults of all ability levels improve general health, exercise technique and nutrition.

MoveStrong will provide you with strength and flexibility training as well as enhance your cardio endurance.   Maybe you have an interest in walking or running a 5K and would like to feel great throughout the race. Maybe you don’t want to compete but simply want to improve your overall health. If any of this sounds familiar, MoveStrong is the right program for you!

MoveStrong is for anyone looking to increase their level of fitness. This ten week program will focus on strength training, balance, flexibility and endurance.

Registration includes two workouts per week lead by two Certified Health and Fitness Professionals. Classes will include dynamic warm-ups, strength training, balance and flexibility exercises, endurance training and a variety of activities to make exercise fun and enjoyable.

Classes will meet at Byron Avenue Park in Springfield Virginia on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning March 18 and ending on May 22.

New!  Garmin Rental Program
Image
Have you been wanting to try a Garmin GPS running watch but held off because you didn't want to buy without trying first?  Now you can!

We are pleased to announce our new Garmin Rental Program.  Rent a FR35, FR235, Instinct, Vivoactive with Music, or Fenix 5S Plus for just $40 for 7 days.

If you like it, the $40 rental fee will be applied to the purchase of a new unit within 30 days of the rental period
Don't like it or not ready to purchase.  No problem.  Just return it by the end of the 7 day rental period and we'll reset it back to factory standards so none of your data is retained.
 
Ladies... Time to Replace Your Old Sports Bra
It's meteorological spring and soon official spring.  Time to gear up with new shoes, socks and sports bras.  Regardless of your activity, be it running, walking, gym workouts, or yoga, all women need a sports bra.    Sports bras are specifically designed to offer the appropriate amount of support during physical activity.
  • Light Control Yoga, Walking and Gardening
  • Medium Control Bicycling, Power Walking and Hiking
  • Firm Control Tennis, Soccer and Jogging.
  • Maximum Control Running, Intense Workouts, Boxing and Horseback Riding.
Not only is the appropriate support an important factor, but pairing the design of the sports bra to the support needs is critical. 

Replace your sports bra now or make an appointment for a sports bra fitting.  Take 20% off any in-stock sports bra purchased during the month of March. 

Email Helen at metrorunwalk.helen@gmail.com or Hayley at metrorunwalk.hayley@gmail.com to schedule your fitting.
