Foam Roller Clinic
This is an interactive clinic where participants practice foam roller moves along with the instructor. The class is taken through a whole body workout where using the foam roller for massage on all major muscle groups is demonstrated.
Self Defense for Athletes
This is a special edition seminar not offered as often as the others. When we have a qualified instructor, the seminar demonstrates moves that will help protect the athlete against any sort of unexpected attack while out on the road or trail.
Good Form Running (Transitioning to Barefoot)
Based on New Balance's tactics and research for transitioning to minimalist footwear, this clinic is taught by our two in-store certified instructors. They will discuss the four main components of increasing efficiency through posture, cadence, etc. that will effectively help you to transition to a barefoot or minimal shoe injury free. Seminar is often taught with time at the end to go for a run and practice the concepts.
