Meet Our Team
The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

Sonia Cargill
USA FIT President
I decided in 1994 that I wanted to run a marathon and found Houston Fit. I began running with this group and completed my first marathon in January 1995. This training program, along with the friends I made in the program, helped me get to the finish line. I was hooked. I continued to come back and train with my fellow runners and the next year, I took 40 minutes off my time. I qualified for Boston and had the opportunity to run Boston multiple times. This was done only with the help of my fellow runners. I have never wanted to leave this group as I believe in our philosophy and that everyone can achieve their goals. Eventually, I decided I wanted to give back and became a coach. I have never felt more pride and joy in seeing those in our group achieve their goals.
Regardless of your goals, whether you are a walker or a runner, this experience can expand your confidence, bring friends into your life you may never have met, and give you a whole new positive outlook.
