USA FIT started in 1989 in Houston, TX. Beginners, walkers and even non-runners have been with us from the early days, and since that time, USA FIT has enjoyed solid growth with programs in over 50 cities across the nation and in Europe. Our training has expanded from marathon-only distances to a variety of programs including Triathlon, half marathon, Stay FIT, Couch to 5K, Advanced Training (ATP), and more.<\/p>\n
The program is simple, but powerful. Over 6 months, through safe and steady coaching, members progress from little or no running base to race condition. Members follow our carefully developed training schedule during the week, then on the weekends, the entire group meets for ability-based long runs. These group meetings are great for lots of reasons. First, they\u2019re a good chance to share the challenges and joys of training with others who are going through the same thing. Second, the weekly group meetings are important because members receive educational seminars on running-specific topics that round out their training with essential practical and strategic information. Our emphasis is on safety and achievement, and we find that often, these meetings represent the beginning of many lifelong friendships. We hope you\u2019ll join us.<\/p>\n
Why it works<\/strong><\/p>\n Over the last two decades, we\u2019ve learned a lot about how to help people accomplish their goals. We bring together our members in a positive environment with other like-minded athletes, give them a carefully refined training structure to guide them, coach them skillfully, and watch the achievement happen. Participants show up each week to run or walk, to support each other in a common goal, and to hold each other accountable. In these ways, USA FIT is more than a training schedule; it\u2019s a way of life that helps members thrive both on and off the track.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"4179\" img_size=\"large\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]24 weeks isn\u2019t that long a time when you\u2019re among friends all working toward a common goal. But the even greater benefit is what happens when you conquer your own personal challenges. Our members are fitter, happier, and mentally stronger than they\u2019ve ever been before. Through this training, people change their lives forever. Come on and join us!<\/p>\n While we began as a marathon and half-marathon training program, we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our members. We\u2019ve incorporated a variety of training distances and intensities, so as people master one level, there\u2019s always a place to which they can grow. Likewise, we offer walking and Couch-to-5K options to those just starting out with endurance sports.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]When we started USA FIT in 1989, marathoning was still considered a fairly extreme sport by many. There was a real need in the running community\u00a0to teach people \u2014 regular folks like you and me \u2014 how to train safely and effectively. We wanted to prove that this seemingly insurmountable challenge was within the reach of virtually anyone. So on a whim, two young runners passed out flyers and met at a Houston-area park on Saturday morning. It was in the good company of a gaggle of scared but curious couch potatoes that USA FIT was born.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"2828\" img_size=\"large\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"Want more info about USA FIT?\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:46px|text_align:center|color:%233e3e3e|line_height:1.5\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_btn title=\"USA FIT\" style=\"flat\" shape=\"square\" color=\"black\" align=\"center\" link=\"url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usafit.com|title:USA%20Fit%20Home|target:%20_blank|\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=\"About the Training\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:46px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_column_text]When someone completes their first marathon or half marathon, the experience is so powerful that they carry it with them for the rest of their lives.
