Time to Run

Running is a great outdoor activity. Time to Run on Fitness + is designed to motivate you to be a better runner. Starting from a 5-minute run, and working your way up to a 30 minutes run. Before you know it you’ll reach your goal of 5KM in no time.

Time to Run episodes features motivational and energising music, with playlists curated by Fitness+ trainers. The playlists are designed to match each run’s intensity, location, and coaching, capturing the spirit of the city where the run takes place. A new playlist for Miami Beach features Latin music inspired by the vibrant sights and sounds of the city.  During Time to Run, you will also receive photos taken by the Fitness+ trainer of notable sights along their route. Photos will be available in the workout summary afterwards, and you can save them to your photo library.
