Programs
Activate Oklahoma is excited to bring our training program to more Tulsans in 2025! Thanks to our partners, we are providing training programs year-round and in more locations across Tulsa.
Activate Oklahoma training ensures you cross the finish line feeling strong. Our programs harness an array of resources and proven processes to realize improved physical, mental, and social health benefits beyond other conventional training programs. We provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment and work to remove barriers to achieving your goals.
Individual programs are developed around specific focus groups to address unique aspects, be sensitive to key factors, and target specific needs. Understanding that each individual is valuable and that helping one person when in need improves and strengthens our Oklahoma communities as a whole.
All training programs include:
- Start at your current fitness level and train at your own pace.
- Work your way to finishing a 5K or a 1-mile fun run.
- Professional, yet personalized, coaching.
- Experienced walk/run leaders.
- Weekly emails with training tips, advice, and recommendations.
- Scholarships available for shoes and other equipment
- Periodic incentives to keep us on track to meet our goals.
All of our training programs are free to participate and open to everyone!
