First time? Here's What to Expect
- 1
Checking In
RunReady is located inside RunAsYouAre, at the back of the shop. If you're unsure where to go, ask any team member to call a RunReady Guest Experience Coordinator and we'll come meet you.
- 2
What to Wear and Bring
Wear your usual running gear or activewear, shorts, leggings, light shirts, tank top, or sports bra. Avoid loose clothing so we can clearly assess how your body moves. You may be asked to remove your shirt for part of the assessment to better observe movement. Lockers are available for your belongings.

Your Assessment
This is a movement assessment, not a workout. Your RunReady physiotherapist will assess how you handle impact, generate energy, and stay stable using a series of strength and movement tests. Based on this, you'll receive your RunReady Score and plan.
- 4
Treadmill Analysis
If you booked the 90-minute version, your assessment includes a treadmill analysis. This adds a deeper breakdown of your running mechanics and gives you a Symmetry Score to show how balanced your stride is.
- 5
Your Footwear Match
After you receive your Performance Score, you’ll get your Match—your footwear recommendation based on how you move today. The right shoe helps balance your movement, reduce strain, and support your running goals.
- 6
Your Plan
Your plan includes:
- Your Score across Absorb, Bounce, Stability (and Symmetry if treadmill was included)
- Your graded footwear Match
- A targeted training plan focused on improving how your body handles running
This is your starting point, a clear, data-driven way to improve movement quality, reduce injury risk, and support your goals. - 7
Your Exercise Program
Your RunReady Plan includes a custom set of exercises designed to improve mobility, strength, and adaptability based on your Score and goals. We'll set up your account so you can access your results, footwear Match, and exercises anytime, everything you need to follow your plan and make progress between sessions.
- 8
Checking Out and Booking Your Next Session
To get the best results, stay on top of your exercises and complete your recommended follow-ups.
Most runners need multiple sessions to improve their Score and reach their goals. After your session, your RunReady Experience Coordinator will check you out, help you book your next appointment, and provide a receipt for insurance reimbursement under physiotherapy coverage. - 9
Your Footwear Fitting
After your session, you'll meet with a RunAsYouAre Run Specialist for a proper fitting and try-on. This part is separate from your assessment and takes additional time. If you want to complete everything during your first visit, make sure to leave time for your fitting after your session.
