Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the RUNCLUB

Why should I run with the RUNCLUB?

Running with the RUNCLUB transforms an ordinary run into a full-body workout. It engages your core, arms, shoulders, and grip while you move, giving you strength and endurance benefits without extra gym time.

Will my grip get too fatigued during my runs?

No. The RUNCLUB is designed with multiple carry options, allowing you to easily switch positions mid-run. This keeps any single muscle group from getting overworked and ensures balanced engagement throughout your run.

Do I need to do mid-run exercises with the RUNCLUB for it to be beneficial?

Not at all. Simply carrying it challenges your posture, stability, and core. Adding swings, rollouts, or push-ups mid-run just amplifies the results.

How long should I work out using the RUNCLUB?

Start with your normal run distance or time. The RUNCLUB is designed to complement—not replace—your running routine. Even 20–30 minutes delivers noticeable benefits.

How often should I be using the RUNCLUB?

2–4 runs per week is ideal. Like any training tool, consistency matters, but your body also needs recovery. Mix in normal runs to balance intensity.

Will the RUNCLUB slow down my normal running pace?

You may notice a slight adjustment at first, but most runners adapt quickly. Over time, you’ll likely feel stronger, making your unweighted runs feel lighter and faster.

Will the RUNCLUB mess up my stride or arm swing?

No. The design allows for natural arm movement. Runners usually adjust within a few minutes, and many report improved posture and arm drive after training with it.

Does the RUNCLUB increase the risk of injury during running?

When used properly, no. The weight is light enough (4–6.5 lbs) to be safe for running, and it actually strengthens stabilizer muscles that help prevent injuries.

Can beginners use the RUNCLUB?

Absolutely. The lighter model is perfect for new runners or those new to strength training. Start slow and gradually increase time and intensity.

Is the RUNCLUB beneficial for expert runners?

Yes. Advanced runners gain an edge by building strength, stability, and efficiency. It’s especially useful for those training for obstacle races, trail runs, or performance goals.

What type of workouts should I do mid-run with the RUNCLUB?

Keep it simple: swings for power, push-ups for upper body endurance, and ab rollouts for core stability. Just a few sets mid-run are enough to elevate the challenge.

What size RUNCLUB is right for me?

The RUNCLUB comes in two sizes: 4 lb and 6.5 lb. The 4 lb is ideal for beginners, casual runners, or anyone who prefers a lighter carry. The 6.5 lb is best for experienced runners, strength-focused athletes, or those wanting a greater challenge. Both can be progressed over time, so choose the one that matches your current fitness level and goals.

Is the RUNCLUB still beneficial even if you don’t like to run?

Yes. While the RUNCLUB was designed to make running a full-body workout, it’s also an incredibly versatile training tool. You can use it for ab rollouts, push-ups, swings, presses, and stability drills. Even without running, it helps build strength, stability, and endurance in ways traditional equipment can’t.
