Performance Running Gym

We love PRG and really appreciate our partnership! Our skiers really enjoy the large weight area, the recovery room and the woodway treadmills!

As a professional athlete and Olympian finding a gym that meets your needs is everything. Performance Running gym meets the highest of standards for any athlete across all disciplines! A clean, organized gym that has it all from the best treadmills- array of free weights, machines, and recovery room! it offers everything you need to reach the next level!

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.

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!

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.

Trainer Keith gave fantastic insights on lifting form and body alignment - that alone was worth joining this great little gym.

Clean, friendly, and welcoming gym! They have everything I need for strength work, and a dedicated recovery run with Normatec boots and sauna. Group runs plus classes, this place is the best!

Great gym! Has everything you need for endurance training and strength work. Group runs every week and a great community.

Wonderful supporters of Team Birkie. I love visiting the gym, well laid out and not often busy. One of the best gyms I have ever been to

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!

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.

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 place is fabulous. Whether you are a beginning runner, or an Olympic qualifier, this gym has programs and people who will help you reach your goals.
Top notch, super friendly staff. Excellent treadmills. I can't say enough good things about the gym and its ownership. Everyone is treated like family, not just a member.

This gym has it all - a welcoming and inclusive community of new and elite runners, an owner who is dedicated to each & every member, fitness classes & workshops for all levels/interests and state of the art equipment. I've been a member for almost 2 years & this gym has been a game changer for my race performance and overall well-being.

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.

This gym is awesome. No matter who you are, what size or shape you are in. You can learn how to get healthier and get back in shape. They have classes that help you achieve the goals you have. This is a great community of elite runners and just your average runner. Everyone cheers and encourages everyone. Love this place.

Whether your a Lydiard or B-Mac/Gym Jones Endurance Athlete: PRG is THE boutique fitness place for you. Call Mark. Take the Tour. Test it out. Better than the YMCA or Lifetime

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.

PRG is a gym designed specifically for runners and endurance athletes. The space and community that Mark has created is amazing, and he is invested in helping every single member reach their goals. If you are looking for more a gym that is more than a place to work out, with a real sense of community, positivity, and encouragement, this is it!

Best community I have ever found at a gym. I made a lot of new friends at the gym who I now consider some of my closest friends. The owner Mark Johnson is very friendly and welcoming, super dedicated to his gym and the people he serves. I came for the gym, but I stay for the friends and community. Highly recommend joining the gym!
