Incredible facility! Has everything a runner would need.The biggest attraction is the people. The owners want nothing but success for you. The fellow members support each other no matter your experience, skill level or type of surface or distance you run.

Great place to BELONG!!! So many runners get lost in the big box gyms and this is the perfect gym to be a part of. Mark is not only a great owner but a great person, he goes above and beyond to make it happen.

This is an outstanding, affordable gym geared for runners located in a nondescript building near trails/lakes. It has quality weight lifting equipment, along with Woodway treadmills and recovery tools such as Normatec recovery boots. There are also certified trainers for extra, who helpted tremandously achieve my running goals (lifting is highly recommended, btw). It is also next to a quality brewery.

The Performance Running Gym is exactly what it sounds like, it is a gym specifically designed for those that enjoy the sport of running. That is NOT to say they don't have free weights, exercise equipment, and everything you need to get a full body work out in, quite the opposite. PRG has all of the amenities you would expect at a gym, and the staff can help you design a workout plan to achieve your specific goals, whether thats a new PR, more consistent running, or even just learning to enjoy your runs more.Even more than a gym though, PRG is a community. I used to go to one of the big box gyms in the twin cities, and every week there would be a new person at the front desk, or strange faces around the equipment, but at PRG There are people I now consider my friends that I see almost every day, they know which races I have coming up, and I know about theirs. This type of support structure makes 5 AM boot camps something I look forward to, it brings me back in over and over again, and through that consistency this year I ran farther, faster and longer than I ever have before. I set new PR's in the 1/2 marathon, the full marathon, and ran my first Ultra. I truly believe that would not have been possible without the support and friendship that I have found with the PRG community.

I’m blessed to be a member of the tribe that calls itself ‘Performance Running Gym’. I drive from St Paul to train individually and as part of their group events b/c of their cost-effective, high quality facility and culture.If you are looking for a new Health/Fitness option in 2020, check them out!! Amazing husband/wife ownership too.

Amazing gym and community of runners. The owner Mark is personal and frequents the gym. He always checks in with members and makes them feel welcome! Challenging group workouts for members and bootcamp classes! Plus they have high end equipment for cardio and lifting.

A true community! Where people know you and ask about your training, where you can strength train without being intimidated, where you can run from the gym with a friend, where you can get nutrition advice, race coaching, physical therapy in house. Everything from the runner designed workouts to the bib wall to the running library to the upcoming race boards encourages support. Love my gym!

Hands down the best gym I've belonged to. Great equipment, great community, owner is very helpful and friendly. If you're just starting out, there's something here for you, if you're a serious gym rat, there's something here for you too. Environment is extremely inspiring, it's also welcoming and supportive.
