[ RUN The River ]■
Your sweat test is a run on the LA River.
Treadmills are great but the river is even better. We weigh you, patch you, and send you out our door onto the LA River trail for a real run in real conditions.
Then we measure what came out: how much you sweat and how much sodium you lose doing it. You leave with a hydration plan you can actually race with.
Sweat Test — $199. Included in the Baseline.
[ RECOVER on-site ]■
Test here. Recover with Mohawk.
Traditional sauna and cold plunge by Mohawk Wellness, same corner of the river. Your Baseline includes your first session on us.
First session $44. Unlimited $99 / 4 Weeks, and it works at Mohawk Echo Park too.
Between training blocks? Stay in recovery at $99 / 4 Weeks and jump back into coaching when your next race opens.
