Strength Training
Strength training is important whether or not you are a runner. It is important to work all the muscle groups in order to aid injury prevention no matter what your lifestyle is. That being said, I know people are busy and don’t always want to dedicate hours to working out in the gym or attending fitness classes. With that in mind, I have created GrETchenFIT! This program follows a circuit training approach to workouts, which consists of 3 rounds of 10 exercises and targets all major muscle groups without taking up too much time in your day.

What People Are Saying
"I absolutely love strength training with Gretchen! Prior to signing up for her workouts, I definitely had a tough time getting motivated to do any type of strength training or exercise besides spontaneous runs or hikes here and there. Thanks to Gretchen, I look forward to our workout days and LOVE the accountability that comes with! Gretchen makes the workouts fun, but challenging, and is always willing to answer any questions that you might have! She explains the moves if there are any that we haven't heard of and always checks on us throughout the workout to see if we're doing okay! If any of us have any mobility issues or trouble with a particular move, she provides another move that works similar muscles. I highly recommend signing up to work out with Gretchen!"

"Gretchen is a wonderful strength coach. She demonstrates an encouraging but realistic outlook when it comes to health; pushing her clients to reach for the next level while simultaneously being cognizant and vocal of potential injuries. Gretchen provides feedback and modifications throughout her workouts for any moves with which you may be having trouble or may be uncomfortable to you. Not only do her classes provide accountability, it is nice to know the structure of what the class will look like while simultaneously never getting bored because Gretchen switches up exercise every week! I have enjoyed attending Gretchen's classes over the last year and can feel myself getting stronger and more comfortable with certain moves that once intimidated me."
