Testimonials

“I enjoy watching my times improve, even though it’s slow, I know I am definitely getting fitter for me.”

Rachel Browne
Receptionist

“The best thing about being a Lake City runner is that I really enjoy my food again. I now fit the same clothes I wore 20 years ago!”

Kerris Browne
Office Manager

“I am a retired Marathon Runner but I still race walk almost every day. My biggest buzz is helping those who don’t think they can do it, and seeing the excitement on their faces when they realize they can.”

Colin Smyth
Plumber
