Had an awesome assessment with Caleb at Performance Running Gym and couldn’t be happier. I feel like I finally found a coach who actually understands triathlon - he pinpointed my weak spots and gave me a solid plan to push my performance to the next level. The equipment is great and the owners genuinely care about their athletes. If you’re looking for real triathlon coaching that will actually make you faster, this is the place.

I had a tour of the gym this morning, and Aaron was very welcoming and informative on the purpose of the gym. As a runner, I'm excited that there's a gym specifically designed for runners to reach their goals. Aaron took extra time to make sure I got my initial consult scheduled with a time that works in my schedule.

The PRG is an amazing place to run. Aaron and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about running. They do a lot to make sure the environment is welcoming to runners and has the necessary equipment to ensure everyone achieves their running goals. Highly recommend getting a membership!

I love this place because they offer everything a runner might want to enjoy their sport. The run and strength coaching Aaron and Jack have provided to me have helped me complete races injury free and in less time than I was doing before I found PRG. It is amazing to go into a race, whether it is a 10k or 50k, with a plan and knowing that I'll make it to the end with a smile on my face. Also great because everyone who goes here is nice and like-minded.

One of the nicest gyms I've ever been to! Everything you need for a workout is available. The best thing is the recovery room, especially the Normatec equipment, which I've been using after interval workouts!

I have found PRG to be a motivating and non-judgemental place to carry out the sometimes non-traditional strength plans of a nordic skier. Conveniently located on the way to work, there's even a shower to help get ready for the rest of the day. Excited to try some of the group runs this upcoming dryland season as well.

Amazing gym that has everything a runner, biker, nordic skier, etc. would ever want - and more! They go above and beyond providing a top notch experience. For example, they have an entire room dedicated to recovery, with Normatech leg sleeves, massage guns, foam rollers, and even an infrared sauna. Their many Woodway treadmills are the gold standard for long runs or intervals.

I adore this gym! I was a Lifetime Fitness member for 13 years and it’s right across the street from my house but I still don’t mind the 15 min drive to PRG! It has everything I need! The staff are incredible. My trainer, Amy, is the absolute best trainer ever!

Gem of a spot for runners or anyone looking to train in an open, welcoming atmosphere. In addition to just having good vibes, this gym has attentive coaches with years of experience and plenty of clean new equipment.

I've found in the past that many running groups and gyms can be exclusive to newcomers. I did not get that impression from PRG, which was really refreshing.

Tired of being the stereotypical β€œinjured” runner wishing you were blessed with β€œLydiard Luck” and Ethiopian genes?

Make your OWN luck by incorporating STRENGTH training with PRG and the smart folks of 3-Click Fitness into your regimen.

Great gym in SLP for runners and non-runners alike. Quality Woodway treadmills for running as well as cross-training equipment if one wants alternatives. Owner is knowledgeable, always willing to help and interested in what his members have going on and willing to provide options and alternatives on issues. Gym is welcoming and a great place to hang out if doing recovery or catching up with other members.

Awesome gym! This gym has a lot of great equipment (cardio weights, weight sled, TRX, etc), has a great layout, and is very clean. The owner (Mark) is very welcoming, and there is a nice community. Saturday morning group fitness classes and evening bootcamps are great. PRG hosts additional events (lifting techniques, yoga), which are a great added benefit. Highly recommended!

Amazing gym, community and owners. I was a reluctant convert to strength training prior to joining PRG and now love it. Mark is amazing and really exemplifies the Run Train Belong mission of his gym. I drive 20-25 min from St. Paul 2x/week to train at PRG and other than the benefits I have seen in my running, the community is truly supportive and amazing. Come for a Saturday group workout and you'll be hooked.

This is an amazing gym. The equipment is top quality, the Woodway treadmills are the best I've ever used, there's an on-site Physical Therapist, and PRG has partnerships with some incredibly talented and effective personal trainers. More valuable than all this though, the owner Mark has created a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive community.

This is not your typical gym or club. This is a niche gym for runners--unlike anything in the Twin Cities. The owner has done an outstanding job of collaborating top notch trainers, physical therapist and nutritionist so you can take your training to the next level all in one place. The sense of community will keep you coming. The best is on a winter day when you walk-out the door to leave you will feel like you just finished a long run with your running group. Mark, the owner is as passionate runner himself, and is very present in the Gym. He continues to strive to make this place more than just a place for treadmills and weights and welcoming to all levels of runners. Highly recommend!

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.

This gym has it ALL - top notch cardio equipment, weights, machines, and service - in a welcoming and positive environment. Performance Running Gym has everything I could want to stay fit and perform at my best, recover (LOVE the Normatec recovery boots), and connect with others. With an affordable price point, PRG offers unparalleled value - by far the best gym I've ever belonged to.

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.
