Having access to the LightSpeed Lift at The Run Lounge allowed me to work through my persistent injury and achieve the goals I had set for the year. I don’t feel I would have made it to the start line without the support I received from Mel and the team at The Run Lounge. Whether you’re new to running or an experienced runner working through an injury, the LightSpeed Lift is a great option.

Having this caliber of recovery equipment available to use more regularly will fill a huge hole in the running community. No one can afford to buy all of this equipment for their own use and the concept of pulling all of that together in one centrally located spot is going to be huge for Calgary.”

All Choose-Your-Own Experience sessions include access to our community recovery tools, plus a coffee or tea of choice.

NormaTec Compression Boots
1 credit = 45 minutes
Want to recover quicker from workouts so you can get back out there? NormaTec boots can help you do that. They reduce swelling, improve circulation, and give you a personal massage all while kicking back with your favourite tunes, book, or running buddy. They have also been found to enhance performance with regular use. Come spend some time with us at The Run Lounge and see for yourself. NormaTec Compression Boots are also available for multi-day rental.
LightSpeed Lift
1 credit = 45 minutes
This anti-gravity system allows you to run at a reduced body weight of up to 40lbs. This tool can help the injured runner return to running safely as well as help the healthy runner run faster and longer. How? Running at a reduced body weight makes running faster feel easier, allowing the body to adapt to the quicker leg turnover at reduced heart rate. It's also a great way to add mileage safely, preventing overuse injuries.
The best parts? Unlike traditional alter-g treadmills, you don’t have to share someone’s shorts! This system attaches to your individual clothing. It also doesn’t restrict your arms like inflatable systems, allowing for a more comfortable and normal run gait.

Infrared Sauna
1 credit = 45 minutes
It sounds too good to be true: relax and hide out from the cold all while improving your run? We assure you it’s not! Here’s what just 30 mins in an infrared sauna can do for you, before and after your run, to name a few:
Before:
Increase core temperature for heat training and anaerobic capabilities
Loosen muscles/joints for improved flexibility
Warm up before a cold winter run
After:
Increase tolerance for anaerobic work – did you say MORE SPEED?? Yes, please!
Boost blood circulation to promote muscle repair
Burn additional calories
Reduce lactic acid buildup in muscles
Warm up after a cold winter run
PowerDot Muscle Stimulation
1 credit = 45 minutes*
Must purchase your own Pad for $25 + gst. Each pad lasts 25 sessions.
This product is known as the “all-in-one-solution” for recovery, performance, and pain. The PowerDot programs are designed specific to what you are chasing in your training goals and can be modified every time you walk through our doors.
