What is Catch Me If You Can?
A tread-block signature workout. During the workout, the coach will periodically announce a minimum distance that you must reach on the treadmill. If you're not at that distance or higher, you are done on the treads and get to do activities on (or around) the rower. For a more detailed breakdown, check out
