Join San Francisco’s premier running community—Progression Run Club (PRC). Launched in early 2024 and already setting the pace for excellence, PRC is more than a run club; it’s a movement. Led by elite personal trainers Ross Dempsey and Darioush Ebadat, PRC blends the science of strength training with the art of running to create a unique, results-driven experience.

Why PRC Stands Out:

  • Expert-Led Training: Ross and Darioush bring a wealth of knowledge in strength, hypertrophy, and performance training, combined with a deep understanding of running gait and mechanics. They know what it takes to build a robust, efficient, and injury-resilient runner.
  • Innovative Approach: Unlike traditional run clubs, PRC integrates strength training principles into every session, optimizing your power, speed, and endurance. It’s where running meets strength for unparalleled performance.
  • Community and Support: Whether you’re lacing up for your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, PRC provides a supportive, inclusive environment to help you achieve your goals.

The Strength Advantage: Transform Your Run

  1. Increased Power and Speed: Strength training amplifies the force in each stride, boosting your speed and efficiency. It helps you run smarter, not harder, improving your overall running economy.
  2. Injury Prevention: Did you know that strength training can slash your risk of repetitive strain injuries by almost 50%? By building muscle stability around joints, PRC helps safeguard your body against common running injuries.
  3. Enhanced Running Form: Improve your balance, stability, and posture. Better form means faster times and a smoother, more enjoyable run.
  4. Endurance and Breathing Efficiency: Strengthening your core and supporting muscles improves your body’s tolerance to physical stress, allowing you to run longer with more controlled, efficient breathing.
  5. Lifelong Vitality: Maintaining muscle mass is critical for runners of all ages. PRC ensures that runners stay strong, agile, and competitive as they age.
