Fitness First launches Zero Runner in India

Legendary Coach ‘Rick Muhr’ introduces the innovative Zero Runner mechanism.

Fitness First, the leading health club group in the world, has introduced a new training concept tool called “Zero Runner” by Octane Fitness in India. 

This product reinvents walking, jogging or running by eliminating repetitive, stressful impact on the body – unlike a treadmill. It features mechanical hip and knee joints that mimic human biomechanics in running. The independent pedals allow runners to replicate their natural running gait, just like outside, providing support throughout. The Zero Runner is considered to be the most impressive, innovative and progressive tool by Octane Fitness.

Commenting on the association Mr. Vikram Bhatia, Managing Director, Fitness First India said, “Zero Runner is surely one-of-a-kind training solution that can revolutionize running in India. This innovation genius has already received rave reviews across the world. Fitness First India is extremely proud to be the first ones to introduce this product. Our association with Fitness will provide our members an opportunity to learn and train on the Zero Runner with the legendary marathon runner Rick Muhr.

We are also in the process of developing a unique running club that provides the running community the facility to train in our clubs with our trainers and also to give our members the opportunity to experience the benefits of running. Rick Muhr has helped by providing us strategic inputs, and we are looking to launch in summer.”

On his visit to India, Coach Rick Muhr said, “India is rapidly adopting the culture of fitness and running, people here are open to new techniques and training tools to improve their form. I am glad to be a part of Zero Runner launch by Fitness First to its members in Delhi. It will be a great opportunity for me to share my experience and learning’s as an endurance runner and coach.”
