Training for a 10K? Build More Than Just Your Running.

    Whether your goal is completing your first 10K, improving your fitness, feeling stronger or creating healthier habits, Benchmark helps you build the strength and consistency to achieve it.

    You don't have to be a runner to belong here.

    Most of our members aren't training for races.

    They're busy adults who simply want to become stronger, healthier and more confident. Whether you're preparing for your first 10K or just looking to improve your overall fitness, you'll fit right in.

    A safe, welcoming space

    No egos, no judgment, no expectations just encouragement and respect for everyone's effort. All we want you to do is turn up.

    Strength & Fitness

    Build strength that supports both running and everyday life. Improve confidence, reduce aches and pains, and support your running performance, recovery and injury prevention.

    Personal Training in a Group

    You get all the support of a 1:1 coach but in a motivating group environment. All movements, exercises and weights are adapted to your current level.

    WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE?

    12 GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS

    Build strength that supports both running and everyday life. You'll attend 3 coached sessions per week, designed around your current fitness level. Our coaches guide you every step of the way.

    GOAL SETTING & ACCOUNTABILITY

    Stay accountable with expert coaching. Book in straight away to chat through your goals and build a clear plan together. You'll receive ongoing support to keep you moving forward.

    FRIENDLY, SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

    Develop habits that last long after the 10K is over. You'll be surrounded by people just like you. The support, encouragement, and accountability from the community makes the biggest difference.

    PROGRESS TRACKING

    Improve confidence in your fitness. We help you focus on more than just the scales. Track your workouts, habits, attendance, and milestones so you can see how far you've come.

    INBODY COMPOSITION SCAN

    Measure what matters. Our state-of-the-art InBody scanner measures body fat, muscle mass, and other key health markers. This gives you a clear picture of your starting point.

    YOGA & FITNESS SESSIONS

    Reduce common aches and pains. On the weekends we run a fitness session to improve your stamina, and a Yoga session every Sunday which helps to ease you into your Sunday and aid recovery.
