Please arrive 15 minutes early so you have time to check in, change if needed, and store your things before we begin.
Wear what you’d normally run or train in. Shorts or tights, a tank or t-shirt. Ideally nothing too loose so we can easily see your movement. Bring your current running shoes if possible.
Yes. You can reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours before your session. Changes within 24 hours may be subject to a late cancellation fee.

  • Mobility screens
  • Gait and posture checks

  • The shoes are graded.
  • Your Match is accurate.
  • The fitting process follows your plan.
  • Your Score, shoes, and exercise program work best when they're kept together.

RunReady Sessions

No. Your first session gives you a starting Score, but most runners need approx 3 to 5+ sessions to hit their goals. You'll follow your personalized RunReady plan to improve your mobility, strength, and adaptability.

Follow-ups let us retest your Score, update your exercises, and keep your progress moving toward your goal. The runners who see the best results are the ones who stick to the full plan.
