Garry Baddal
I believe we have one mind, one body, and ultimately, one life to live. My work with clients aspires to realize that idea through focused effort when coaching and have it last long after the sweating has stopped.
Using my personal hybrid training program as well as having over 15 years of experience training in some of the best gyms in NYC (Reebok Sports Club, Equinox and Clay Fitness) you will begin to see improvements across a broad spectrum of metrics. As for runners who take my classes this means you will increase your endurance, strength, speed, balance, agility as well as build the confidence and discipline to become a better runner from the first Fitness Runs class you take with me.
The goals are yours, I am simply your guide in achieving them. Come to a class and let’s talk about how we can improve your running.
Nicole Rodriguez
Coach Nicole considers herself to be a “purest” when it comes to running. Her philosophy is “if it doesn’t help me to become a better runner then it’s a waste of time”. Over the last 10 years, Nicole has coached runners from ages 7 to 70, and through all of her years of coaching she decided to focus on the ones who need her most, the new adult runner and runners who want to avoid injuries.
She is well known in the New York running community being the assistant coach for the Running Center, having been lead running coach at Equinox, as well as leading various New York City run groups. As a pacer for these group runs, Nicole was concerned by the number of uninformed runners who thought that common injuries were just part of the natural running process. To that end, Nicole includes injury prevention exercises into her coaching principles. Her love of running has led her to run several marathons and triathlons including the NYC Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the NYC Triathlon. She runs competitively for Central Park Track Club and is currently training for the Colgate Games.

We welcome all fitness levels! Regardless of your current physical activity level, our expert instructors will monitor your ability at all times. The classes may be difficult and challenging, but the goal is to push you to your highest potential. The overall mission of Fitness Runs ™ is to help you become faster, stronger and run injury free!
Simple, bring a small water bottle and towel. WARNING: With colder weather we recommend bringing gloves and a hat, some drills will require you to have your hands on the ground.
*Coaches will not be responsible for lost or stolen items so again it’s best to bring as little as possible to your classes
This varies from person to person. For most people, we recommend that you eat a small meal or snack about an hour before class. This should be something light that is easily digestible of about 75-150 calories. It’s also important to be well hydrated before, during, and after any workout program so make sure your drinking water.
