Whether you’re training for a 5K, half marathon, or full marathon, building strength makes every run feel easier and more efficient. Train smarter, recover faster, and enjoy every step of your running journey with support from our Vancouver running community.

I have engaged coach Rabih as a personal trainer – and work with him twice a week in the gym for full body workouts – I have experienced encouragement and positivity with each training session – it is hard work – however he makes it fun and I look forward to each session.

Rabih is a great trainer who cares a lot about the progress and personal preferences of his trainees. With him and Striderz, I could constantly improve and meet my personal goals in running and fitness. The running group is fun and people are very supportive of each other. I totally recommend them.
