Hard to believe that in just a couple short days another season of MIT will be upon us! My staff and the MIT coaches are honored to help you on this path towards you half or full marathon.
You are going to have a lot of fun along the way! You will meet amazing people through MIT, many of which will become great friends.
You will also encounter new challenges, and those challenges will force you to dig in, and push yourself beyond what you may think possible. Though this you will discover that the only limit is those you place on yourself!
So I challenge you this season... Think not of what hurdles you will cross, but rather what destinations you will reach, what accomplishments you will conquer! Each and every Saturday you will leave MIT stronger, you will have done more in a few short hours than most of your friends and neighbors do in months, and when the time is right you will be ready for race day! See you on the trails! Jeff

Class descriptions: Hight and Tight: HIGH+TIGHT™ Is the sculpting and toning class in the System. This class cuts and defines the body, using smaller low-impact movements with high repetitions and a variety of equipment. you’ll feel a burnout from every angle that will tone and cinch the silhouette.
Core and Restore: CORE+RESTORE™ is the recovery portion in the System. Using foam rollers and lacrosse balls, this detoxifying and restorative class will help increase flexibility and circulation, help reduce inflammation and help to repair scar tissue and joint stress.
Yoga for Runners: BB+FLO™ is the athletic based, power yoga portion of the System. this class will strengthen and elongate your muscles through a series of well paced vinyasas, weaved with creative strength and longer holds.
**System of Strength will meet you where you are in your fitness journey and while every class is designed to be difficult, they understand that not everyone is at the same level of fitness. Their first priority is your safety. All SOS instructors are trained to provide different levels to make each work out accessible for anyone.
