The VO2 testing was very eye opening for me. Coming back to running post injury, I wanted to know where I was at fitness wise (and heading into a big marathon training block). The test itself was extremely challenging for me, and it really became a test of my mental limits (and trying to push myself farther and harder). Kylie is super motivating, positive and I can tell wants the best for her clients. She was there to support every step of the testing. I am a huge stats and data nerd, so it was super fun and helpful seeing it all laid out after the testing. I was impressed with how far I have come and some of the numbers that my testing came out with. I would highly suggest everyone take a VO2 test at some point - doesn't matter skill level, pace, ability, I know it is something I can refer to going forward. I look forward to re-testing in the fall to compare my results post marathon training block!

"I've had a few years of continuous strength training and racing cycles under my belt, so I was curious to see how my running mechanics were. I found Kylie's running assessment to be a very helpful and informative learning experience. She did a great job of providing clarity on things such as heel-striking, hip flexion, and cadence. And it turns out improving running economy isn't a simple quick fix of any one thing but rather a combination of them. I also now know some of the exercises that I need to incorporate into my regular strength training so that I can hit my marathon goals for next year. Highly recommended for all runners."

I was nervous to have my running assessed and scrutinized, but Kylie made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process! She was super thorough and took the time to explain everything to me, and the results have helped me identify my strengths and areas that need improvement. Now I feel better equipped and informed about what to work on, and I have exercises that will help set me up for success!

Kylie's running assessment was very informative and insightful as a runner for many years in multisport. Kylie's affirmative, encouraging and fun-energy approach made the process easy and enjoyable. Her assessment report follow-up was very thorough, detailed and included photo's of your running stance. Thank you Kylie!!
