Coached treadmill running paired with turf strength on Carling Avenue, from Walk to Run to HYROX prep.
Running becomes easier to return to when pace and progression have a purpose. Coaching helps you understand when to push, when to recover, and how each interval builds greater capacity.
Running, reimagined indoors
This is not just time on a treadmill. Running + Turf uses pace, incline, intervals, music, and turf work to create coached sessions that support beginners, committed runners, and members looking for a more athletic conditioning day.

From walk-to-run to race effort
The class formats create a clear range from entry points to race-style effort.
- Walk to Run, Club Run, and Indoor 5K build confidence, capacity, and distance.
- Tread & Turf and Hardcore add intensity, speed, and floor-based conditioning.
- HYROX 60/90 brings a more competitive, race-inspired structure where available.

Conditioning that supports strength
Running + Turf complements the strength side of the Altea ecosystem. It gives members a way to train endurance, power, and resilience while staying connected to the same broader routine: lift, run, recover, repeat with intention.
