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\u00a0tired, your\u00a0sluggish and our coaches will bring them\u00a0to the finish line.<\/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%2F|title:USA%20Fit%20Home|target:%20_blank|\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
