We Want YOU in our Club! Looking to join a running club that offers not only a sense of community spirit and support with regular training runs, but also access to the best gym facilities at South Africa’s preferred destination for health and fitness? Then sign up today for the new Planet Fitness Modern Athlete (PFMA) Running Club, the first of its kind in SA. Great Start to 2018 Club Training Runs It has been an exciting start for our new club as we’ve celebrated our members achieving great things in the early races of the year. From wins, podium finishes and top 10 positions to Personal Best times and distance debuts, the PFMA runners have done it all – and it’s still only the beginning of the season! Also, our PFMA runners are proud ambassadors of the #runclean initiative, and our club vests feature the unique #runclean anti-litter pocket, which allows us to hold onto litter until we can get to a bin. Every bit counts in the fight against the litter problem. We know that in order to achieve our goals, we need to put in the training time, and what makes the early morning wake-up calls a little more bearable is knowing that your running buddies are waiting for you. PFMA members in Bedfordview are in full training mode on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 5am to 6am. The group has a great sense of camaraderie and no one is ever left behind. If you are interested in running with or leading a social group from one of the PFMA associated Planet Fitness MegaClubs (Bedfordview, Wanderers, Fourways, Centurion Gate and Waterkloof ), please contact the PFMA Club Manager, Lauren Smithers, at [email protected]. Chilling with JOINTEze What has been a real treat after the highs and lows on the road is the camaraderie at the Chill Zone and the exclusive care we receive from JointEze. Although the JointEze team is available to all runners for post-race rub-downs and massages, PFMA members enjoy a “jump-the-queue” benefit. That’s just another one of the perks of running with PFMA. 6-Week Complimentary Gym Access PFMA runners are eligible for six weeks of complimentary access to the PFMA associated MegaClub of their choice. Thereafter, an exclusive PFMA membership offer is available at these gyms. Contact Lauren for more info.
