Run Assessments
Designed for all levels of fitness
Running is an activity nearly everyone can participate in. Our running assessments are designed for the beginner wanting to run safely, and the experienced runner wanting to hit their personal best. No matter what level of running you fall into, an assessment is valuable for identifying what can be worked on, and how you can FutureProof your running.
How a Run Assessment can Help
