Introducing Rivs Run Club: A New Way to Run with Purpose

Running isn’t just about speed, distance, or hitting a new PR. It’s about the connections we make: to ourselves, to the ground beneath us, and to the people who share the journey. That’s the spirit behind Rivs Run Club, a new experience led by legendary iFIT Trainer Tommy Rivs.

This isn’t another running series: it’s a movement.

A Club Built on Connection

Rivs Run Club is for everyone, whether you’re a first-time runner or a seasoned marathoner. In Rivs’ words: “Running is meditation in motion.” Each workout is a chance to connect with your breath, your thoughts, and your purpose. No pressure, no ego: just you, Rivs, and the trail.

Season One: California Coast

The journey will begin in the towering Redwoods of Northern California, where the forest will breathe life into each run. Over these weekly workouts, Rivs will lead you through guided runs that combine mindfulness, endurance, and Rivs’ signature coaching and storytelling.

Starting Monday, November 17, 2025, a new run will be released each Monday. It’s a great opportunity to start the week on a positive note as you move your body and spend some time with Rivs in California.

The California Coast season is just the beginning. So get ready to run with purpose alongside iFIT Trainer Tommy Rivs and your iFIT Community.
