Amazing and knowledgeable team! Can’t recommend highly enough. Saw things that other practitioners missed, and really worked with me to get me back to running successfully, making sure I understood everything that was happening along the way. They are encouraging and kind and committed to helping you! So glad I found them!

Amanda is absolutely amazing! She is very strategic, methodical, empathetic, and knowledgeable with her approach. I was unsure of what my injury was when I first came to see her and with her assessment we figured out what it was. Amanda gave me the right exercises to strengthen the area and put my worries at ease when I started to spiral about not getting better. She really checks all the boxes when it comes to a practitioner and someone you would want working on your body.

Has helped me tremendously with my running.  Had pain in my left leg and they’ve helped get me back up and running (no pun intended)

Linda V.
Alex is amazing! Very patient, personable, knowledgeable and most importantly able to explain things in a clear and concise manner. Went to see her initially for shin splints, and now see her for any injury/concerns that arise.
Scott S.
This is the place to go if you want to get back on the track, road or treadmill. Great analysis and prescription.
Thomas M.
Had issues with shin splints when running and did a gait analysis with Alex. She walked me through what I needed to adjust in my strides in ways that were clear and easy to follow and it's definitely improved my running.
Micheal P.
Changed the way I ran! Really appreciated Liz's help and have had some great runs recently. Highly recommended.

Run Coaching FAQs

  • How do I get started?

    Your first month begins the day of your first call with your Run Coach. She or he will discuss your goals, ideal workout schedule, health history and any injury concerns and onboard you to the Training Peaks Platform during this longer 45-minute appointment.

  • Does my insurance cover Run Coaching?

    Since our Run Coaches are Registered Physiotherapists, yes – your health insurance provider should cover your run coaching. Always contact your provider directly if you have questions about what they require for coverage.

  • What do I need?

    It is helpful to have some sort of watch to track your runs. This isn’t necessary, but does make tracking your progress much easier. Otherwise, just a good attitude and a willingness to want to get better!

  • What if I have an injury?

    We always suggest working with one of our physiotherapists first to get your injury close to 100% before you begin a coaching plan. We focus on your running and training progress during check-in calls and always suggest you book a separate appointment for physio if you’re having trouble with an injury.

  • I've never run at all before! Can I get a coach?

    Of course! We welcome runners of all abilities. We’re happy to put together a walk/run plan to get you going.
