GET FIT AND BECOME A HERO

During 25 workouts, you’ll be trained to help find supplies and protect the town from the ever-encroaching horde of the shambling dead, in a story written by award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman.

Once your training is complete, you’ll be in the perfect place to continue the story as the hero in “Zombies, Run!”
