OUR PROCESS

HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1

CONSULTATION + ASSESSMENT

Meet virtually or in person for a running assessment. We utilize cutting edge technology such as force plates, foot sensors, and slow motion analysis to get insight into your running mechanics. From here we test running specific strength, mobility, and stability.

STEP 2

DESIGN

This is not your cookie cutter body weight strength exercises you can copy from runners world doing 50 leg lift variations, but an incredibly detailed plan that includes the necessary strength, plyometric, and mobility work tailored specifically to your needs and goals.

STEP 3

EXECUTE AND PERFORM

Now we get to work, executing your plan and making any necessary adjustments to ensure continued improvements. We check in as much as needed for re-testing and updates to the game plan to ensure you meet your goals.
