Not only was the support and motivation incredible, I found myself treated the same as world class athletes and weekend warriors alike. I never considered myself a runner, or someone who enjoyed group classes, but found myself addicted to not only the results I was having, but the community and new friends I had found.

This combination of running and strength training designed specifically for runners was a powerful way to move me into a whole new level of fitness. It’s really a runner’s dream to have a place like this to come to on a regular basis…What makes Ann’s approach even more effective is that she is both an accomplished coach and runner. She really knows what she is talking about when she creates a custom training plan, which includes a weekly pattern of easy miles, quality workouts, long runs, and time for recovery.

The combo of the training plan and the classes did wonders for my running performance. My long run pace improved by over one minute per mile faster. Hilly routes that used to fill me with dread became easier and more manageable. Running friends commented on my pace and my improving performance. I’ll never be fast but I certainly got faster and stronger.

RACHEL BOOTH

With working full time at my job, as a mom, and as a wife, I was looking for something that would help keep me motivated and excited to train for the marathon this time around. That is when the light came on and I reached out to Ann as I knew she not only would be a great motivator, supporter, and running buddy, I felt that I had the flexibility to try something new and mix up my training a bit.

Outside of the physical gains, the mantras and philosophy worked into the instructor-led classes helped me through my tough workouts and race efforts. Quotes like…..”Get comfortable being uncomfortable”; “Your legs follow your arms”; and “Focus on what you can control – like your breathing, your attitude”.

There is such a sense of camaraderie in the studio; classes are always so lively and fun, and you’re astonished that you’re crushing your running goals while still feeling in control. The team makes every class count and I could not be happier that I have (in my humble opinion) the BEST instructors guiding me on my fitness journey.

Lori Silvestri

The focus on strength and function have been essential to my return to running. Running on the Woodways with the instructors’ guidance has made me aware of my form and given me the tools that I needed to improve. In just a couple months, I am finally running pain free and feeling my strongest.

MIKE CITRO

In comparing Formula’s approach with past marathon training plans, I found that my overall mileage remained relatively consistent; however, Formula’s focus on speed work, strength training, running efficiency, and overall mechanics made all the difference for me. Both the Equilibrium and Focus classes challenged me in new ways and I began approaching my training with a new-found excitement and discipline.

Alyssa Godesky

I love the flexibility of Equilibrium — I can always count on getting the most out of what my legs have on the day. Whether that is 8.0mph or 11.0mph, I don’t have to stress. I know the class environment will push me to do my best on the day and will also allow me to have some fun on the days when I am not feeling as good!

TIM JOHNSON

As my one-year anniversary at Formula approaches and I continue to regularly attend Equilibrium, Focus and the newly introduced Flex Classes, I’m still making consistent progress in aerobic fitness, overall strength and balance. . . Formula continues to provide the venue and the motivation to do all of the “little” things that aren’t so “little” when it comes to making me the best runner/athlete I can be.

Heidi Gillenwater

Before long, I started noticing subtle things: my heart rate didn’t get as high when we got into faster paces. I started recovering more quickly at my “easy pace” between intervals. When I took my running to the hilly streets in my neighborhood, I found that hills that used to intimidate me were now surprisingly easy, as I seemed to float to the crest fueled by my strong glutes thanks to RDLs and kettlebell swings.

Samantha Miller

The classes challenged my running capabilities and for the first time ever I felt like I was running efficiently . . . I learned that each exercise and each movement had a reason behind it and my speeds improved as I went to more classes. I moved out of the post-college fitness slump and can now say I’m probably in the best shape of my life.

David Sale

I have discovered that I too can love running. . . I feel stronger, and more confident in what my body is capable of. Most of all, I have energy. . . Formula has transformed me in and out. 

Wendy Harper

The soreness in my back and knees is largely gone. My stress level is lower, and my general level of confidence has improved.

The greatest benefit I've noticed by far, however, is that I have my love of running back.

LAUREN MARSH

"While the numbers speak for themselves – I shed twenty pounds and improved my half marathon time by over a minute per mile – I am most proud of the physical and mental transformation Ann helped me achieve with respect to my approach to fitness.  I am now much more diligent about planning my workouts and excited to start them, and this is all because Ann helped me train my mind and body to feel more confident and prepared." 

WALKER AND ERICA HANNAN

"I've been following the Formula training philosophy for almost a year and I've gone from being a "shuffler" running 11 minute miles to finally running a 24 minute 5k (under 8 minute miles)! I finished my first marathon in March and have lost 25 pounds in the process."

Walker Hannan

"As a trail runner, I am always reluctant to workout indoors, but after seeing the gains I made by working out with Ann my attitude totally changed. I started training with the Formula team midway through training for my first ultra. In those few short weeks before my race, I made enormous gains physically and mentally that carried me to race day and helped me reach a 2nd place age group finish in my first Ultra."
