Ready to get in shape, but need a little push? Join AdventHealth and KC Express at Women’s Training Team and find weekly motivation to reach your health and fitness goals. This six-week, outdoor and virtual series combines walking or running with educational sessions on injury prevention, technique and much more.

No matter what your fitness level, our women-only environment offers the support you need to improve any running/walking technique. Athletic trainers and physical therapists who specialize in sports injury prevention and care will be on hand to answer questions.
Cost for the Training Team is $30, which includes all six sessions, a T-shirt and gifts. Registration closes Friday, March 25 at 12 pm.
