What is
Deep Water Running?
Oh, it's only the best kept secret in all of New York City! It's a most unique and effective venue for cross-training and rehabilitation for runners, or anyone looking for a zero impact, high intensity workout. In this workout we simulate land running, minus the impact. You will move your arms and legs as though you're running on land; the water and proper technique adds another layer of challenge to the workout.
