NE Ohio Fit About

Welcome to Northeast Ohio FIT (a USA FIT program)! We are a training program for anyone who wants to train for and complete a fall marathon or half marathon.

We are committed to providing a safe in-person training program, with new procedures to help with social distancing. As this pandemic continues, it is important that we do our part to reduce the spread of the virus. Things will be different but we are dedicated to help group members achieve their goals!

Our target event will remain the Akron Marathon/Half Marathon, even though in-person racing may or may not happen this year.  If you’ve never run a step before, training with our group will help you conquer mental and physical barriers you never thought possible. There will be races in the future and virtual races will be an option.

We start wherever you are. Couch potato? Seasoned marathoner? Great. No matter what your conditioning or pace, there will be others to train with. Over the course of six short months, our coaches will help achieve your personal best in a non-intimidating, fun, and safe environment.

USA Fit is a marathon and half-marathon training company that focuses on bringing attainable results to the average person. We work with runners and walkers, beginners and experienced marathoners. We believe there is hope for everyone who is willing to put in the effort. Bring us your out of shape, your tired, your sluggish and our coaches will bring them to the finish line.

While we began as a marathon and half-marathon training program, we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our members. We’ve incorporated a variety of training distances and intensities, so as people master one level, there’s 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.
