Just went this morning for a Velocity class. I like their treadmill: they have big knobs instead of button to change speed and incline, which comes in handy when you are trying to make a change with sweaty hands mid-​run.
Bathrooms are modern and clean with complete amenities. A little concerned about the two stall shower. When I went there wasn’t hardly anyone in class, so obviously there was no line. I’m not sure how long the shower wait would be if it was a packed class.
Will update review once I go to a couple more classes.

This is such a great workout and pushes you harder than you would ever do yourself. You got to make it to Billy’s class– his energy and personality make the class fly by. Velocity is great for a good 40 mins of running (including your own warm up before) and endurance is a good push as well! Check this place out and get your body in killer shape.

I’m a «born again runner» (I quit for 2 years and am now getting back into it, with a half-​marathon coming up!) and indoor running classes have been my saving grace. Let’s face it: Sometimes it’s too damn hot/​humid to run outside.
As much as I loathe treadmills, both Mile High Run Club and The Run have made them bearable. I won’t say the classes are super fun, but they’re challenging and help me run faster and smarter, and that’s all I can really ask for. Plus, the coaches provide just the right amount of encouragement.
At the Run, like other reviewers have mentioned, the treadmill does most of the work for you. This includes automatically increasing speed and elevation in intervals. You can view a timeline of the workout and anticipate when these bumps will happen, but you don’t have to do anything other than, well, run.
It’s important to do things: gauge your pace well and not hit pause ever. I made both mistakes during my first class and it was a bit frustrating to lag behind and also have to keep manually slowing down the treadmill because it was always a little too fast for me.
I like that they offer two classes (Endurance and Velocity), but I hope they’ll eventually offer even more! I hope The Run cranks out classes that have more hill work and/​or more strength training (like Mile High Run Club does).

Facilities are great. Nice, techy treadmills, but I don’t love the classes here. The class is programmed in the machine. You could do a whole workout without any additional help from the instructor. The machine adjusts for speed and incline at the appropriately timed intervals. In theory, the instructor are then freed up to maybe give you cues on form, but not all instructors do. For example, the first class I took with Greg, he seemed disconnected like he was just reading lines. But I came back again to give it another chance because Yusuf, whose class at Tone House I really like, was teaching a class. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t much better. While Yusuf took advantage of the time freed up from giving speed and incline cues to give instructions on form and to walk around the room to correct people’s form, the class is just too mechanical. I also don’t love the intervals here — 3+ minutes at the same incline or speed? As far as running gyms go, Mile High Running Club is miles ahead (for me anyway).

I like classes more than doing my own cardio at the gym so The Run is perfect. The instructors are great and the facility is amazing. Definitely worth checking out once or twice but be warned cause you’ll get hooked!

I CAN DIG IT!
Despite a name that dangerously straddles «the RUNS» (something every runner truly fears when setting out for X amount of miles with no outhouses or bathrooms in sight) The RUN studio is gorgeous and super swanky, so you should definitely give it a go.
They seem to have classes tailored for all fitness levels, from beginners (the shaper?) to longer-​distance runners (the endurance run). I took the 55 minute endurance class with Yusef (of Tonehouse fame HOLLAHHH) and found it to be really fun.
A few notes:
— the treadmills here do the majority of the work for you — if you’re very dialed in with your tempo pace then you’ll have an excellent and moderately challenging workout (5 minute hills though DAYUMN).
— that said, if you have a technological snafu and have to start late, it’s a little weird because your intervals /​timing will be slightly off from the rest of the participants in class, so the coaches cues won’t accurately apply to you (for example, i had to start a minute and a half behind because there was an issue with my assigned PIN number on login, and whenever Yusef would cue a hill push, I’d be on a 1.5 minute delay). It kind of messes up the vibe a little bit if everyone else is coming off of the hill and you’re still rockin’ that struggle face and pushing hard for another minute, but these are minor issues.
— if you’re a little paranoid about giving up control of your workout, this may or may not freak you out. the treadmill sets your interval pace for you, and while you can definitely override it if you’re dying, the coaches encourage you to fight for the pace that’s been set. I definitely admit I had to slow down a few times on the longer hill intervals, and it was a little frustrating, but it’s also kind of rad because it doesn’t allow you as much wiggle room to cheat yourself out of a true workout.
— the facilities are SUUUPER clean, probably because the studio is only a couple of months old, score. no free water but free towels and free RITUALS brand soaps in the showers. The space however is pretty small so I could see this becoming a bit of a hassle if you book a morning workout and need to clean up to go elsewhere afterwards.
— really chill/​friendly staff up in the front, and some limited merchandise available to purchase as well.
— the studio itself has a very TRON vibe, which may or may not be your thing. If you are self conscious, the mirrors everywhere will probably freak you out. On the plus side, I like the mirrors so I can check on my form /​AKA how bad my shorts are riding up my butt (sorry to EVERYONE behind me, oops).
— take the class that seems suitable for your fitness level but don’t be afraid to take one that is outside of your comfort zone. a couple of people had to step off /​take a break but Yusef was really chill about it and made sure their treadmills didn’t shut off after too long of a delay, so they could return to the workout.
Overall, it’s like 4 – 4.5 stars. Even though I’m still more of an outdoor runner, I’d definitely fold this into my training routine

This place is so cool, the studio is fresh, clean and new and the machines are touch screen and track exactly what you are doing. The instructor was super nice and knew exactly what he was doing. I have been using them through classpass and it is worth it!

Facility is really cool.
I shouldnt have stayed out til midnight the night before my 6am classpass for the run, but such is life. I did the shaper. 4 minute warmup, stretch, 24 minutes straight running (some intervals in there), and then do pushups, lunges, triceps on the actual treadmill.
I was dripping.
Need the music a bit louder and more thumping so i can zone out, but its a good concept and fairly new.

What a cool concept! Great instructor, great customer service, and a great workout. Took the shaper class which is part run part weight exercises
