Run Ready

Fantastic experience: I started to have minor knee pain afte I started my running journey June last year. From reading online posts and hearing from people, I know I should definitely get some professional advice on my run forms, improve strength and fix my knee problems. That's when I started to look for running specific strength training programs / gyms and came across Run Ready. I was never a fan of costly PT and big gyms and find them overwhelming, but thought I'd give this gym a try as they have a super high google rating and the costs are not too intimidating! Nick scheduled in a phone check-in to get to know my background and my goals and soon I did a run assessment with him. He is professional, warm and knowing what he's doing! From there, we agreed on a strength and run training plan to get me started. I then had my go-to strength training coach Eva. Before an individualised run specific training plan was developed for me, I did a couple tests to see where my baseline was - and it was not very good! But after a couple weeks of tailored programs and running, we checked in with another test and it has showed significant improvement from first time! Eva also has been so warm, personal and professional and she has always being there in my journey! Another element run ready is different from others are their in-house sports physio services. With my knee problems, I booked appointments with the physio Tom and from there, he worked with my coach Eva to build a more well rounded plan which help improve and treat my problems specifically. Within six months, I have done two half marathons and a couple 10k run events with no injury and better results each time, from being a couch potato for 30 something years. Thanks Nick, Eva, Tom and the run ready family! This year I look forward to training more with Run Ready to prepare for my first ever full marathon! And based on my own experiences, with this team, you can have your couch potato to marathon runner journey more smoothly and injury free!

Fantastic experience: I joined RunReady in April 2024 for the group strength and conditioning coached sessions programmed by Aiden. My goals were to a) prevent injury b) build muscle mass and help bone density as I am in my mid-forties. c) become a stronger and faster runner I have absolutely loved the sessions, personalised programming progressions, and the knowledge and support from Aiden and his team. Through the fitness testing I have clearly seen improvements and also working on balancing out my left and right sides. In my own running I am feeling stronger and also faster. I have built up my weekly km’s injury free. I did a Sprint Triathlon in November 2024 and finished the run leg with a PB and also ran feeling like I could hold good posture and strong control of my body (no muscle weakness or fatigue). I highly recommend RunReady for anyone wanting to improve their running and also their strength.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the strength and conditioning program. The coaches are really friendly, enthusiastic and approachable, and built me a great program that got me to my first marathon injury-free! Such a pleasure to come here each week, it’s kept me committed to strength training and more motivated to improve my running.

Fantastic experience: Tom and the excellent physio team got me back on track to running again after numerous other physios couldn't. Once my injury was resolved, I was then seamlessly handed over to Aiden to focus on strength and conditioning. Aiden built a programme to reduce the chance of recurring injuries focus on my goal of returning to marathons. Both Aiden and Tom have always been available to explain every new exercise and why we are doing it. Whether your an aspiring athlete or a just recreational runner like myself, I can think of no better place in Melbourne where the whole team (Nick, Jo, Aiden, Tom & Maddy) are there to support you in your goals and focused on making you a better runner no matter your capabilities through injury recovery and ongoing strength and conditioning in a friendly and approachable environment. Its now part of my weekly routine and recommend Run Ready to every runner.

Fantastic experience: We were fortunate enough to meet Aiden, Nick and the Team from Run Ready after my son experienced consecutive injuries that took him out of running for an extended period of time. Aiden's support and guidance with the correct strength and conditioning programme has been life changing! We are so grateful to Aiden and the Run Ready Team for the continued help and support you give him every week. It is so great to see our son happy, much stronger and most importantly, running again! He is definitely a changed athlete for the experience. Run Ready is now a permanent part of his weekly training programme and a must for every aspiring athlete.

Positive experience: Training side of things is fine. Re admin only: As always, read the T's and C's and in particular the waiver carefully. Direct debit is via Ezidebit- Just be aware of T's and C's and have a look at the on-line reviews.

Fantastic experience: Run Ready was a fantastic addition to our son’s training regime and he thoroughly enjoyed each session. Aiden was so attentive to all of his needs and really ensured that his program not only met his needs, but challenged our son while always keeping him engaged in his progression. I couldn’t speak more highly of Run Ready and the crew!

Positive experience: The physio therapists have been very helpful with my chronic pain and helping to improve my knee mobility. They have been giving me advices on managing my muscle

Aiden, Nick and Jo are the team to see whether you're a serious runner / athlete or just a slowing, old man like myself. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Great run focused physio - After many false starts I am very confident that I’m on the right track now thanks to Tom’s treatment that has been tailored & tweaked to my specific & changing needs - highly recommend Tom and the Run Ready crew

Fantastic experience: The Physiotherapy and strength and conditioning program provided by Run Ready have been instrumental in my rehabilitation journey. I was facing the prospect of a hip replacement, as recommended by two surgeons, due to limited mobility and persistent pain. After three months of dedicated work with Richie and Tom, the Physiotherapists at Run Ready, I am pleased to report significant improvements. Not only have I regained strength, but I have also resumed running and participating in triathlons, activities I once thought were beyond my reach. The reduction in pain has been remarkable, allowing me to engage in a wider range of activities. Thank you so much for the expertise and support provided by the team at Run Ready. The strength and conditioning program they offer is incredibly beneficial for anyone rehabilitating from an injury or seeking to improve their strength in a more focused environment. Under the guidance of a Physiotherapist, the program is tailored to individual needs and targets specific weaknesses, ensuring a more effective rehabilitation process. Additionally, the small group setting allows for personalized attention, with the Physiotherapist monitoring form and explaining exercises thoroughly. This comprehensive approach has been integral to my success and I am grateful for the opportunity to benefit from such specialized care (thank you so much, Ritchie), and if you find yourself in a situation where you have exhausted all avenues related to an injury, experiencing pain, or simply aiming to get stronger and move better, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Run Ready.

Fantastic experience: We would like to thank Tom and all the team at run ready The professional approach, friendly and fun. Environment which made each rehab class an enjoyable experience and giving Kiara the confidence to get back to her sport.

Fantastic experience: A welcoming environment for people of all ages to develop and maintain their strength and conditioning skills as well as running! Excellent and friendly coaches who genuinely care about your progress in your fitness journey! Would recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a safe training place for my 14 years old son. Aiden is a great coach and has always been supportive and attentive in clarifying any questions about my son’s training. He provided me with the best advice in benefits of my son’s training journey. My son really enjoys training days and running days. The gym is usually not crowded and they have a easy to use system to book your classes in advance . I love that the limited spaces per class provide a guided training.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff at Run Ready were super friendly, highly skilled and motivated to help our son train and improve his strength and agility. We can't recommend them highly enough. A great team!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy with the strengthening classes I have been attending each week post an ankle stress fracture. I only wish I had started the classes earlier. Richie the physiotherapist there is amazing. I could not recommend Richie and the run ready team more highly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym facilities with expert coaches who are extremely helpful! I’m able to train at my own pace and at my own level with training sessions created for me specific to middle distance running.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Run Ready for the past 10 weeks now and it's been a great journey so far. Working with Coach Aiden has been a pleasure. I initially joined Run Ready as an injured runner and a novice gym goer, hoping to regain my peak performance in my running. Over these 10 weeks with Aiden, I've not only recovered from my injury but have become noticeably stronger, feeling better overall. The recent strength assessment confirmed the value of my time here - my strength and power have improved significantly, and my running sessions have seen remarkable progress. What sets Run Ready apart is the personalised program tailored to my running goals. The individualised attention and support from everyone at Run Ready have made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to achieve their fitness and running goals. It's been a rewarding experience! Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience training at Run Ready with coach Aiden. I started off training here with the goal of improving my strength and reducing my risk of injury for my sport, long distance running. In my time here Aiden has created an individualised athlete centered program specifically for my needs and goals. Each session I’m under watchful eye of Aiden so that my technique doesn’t suffer and within my 12 weeks of training I have already noticed a significant improvement in my strength/ power. Couldn’t thank the guys enough at Run ready coaching!

Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers with fantastic knowledge of strength and conditioning - whether you’re a seasoned athlete or beginner. The atmosphere and facilities are top notch too - couldn’t recommend Run Ready enough.

Fantastic experience: Had an initial injury assessment. They were very thorough, asked all the right questions and even had a look at how I run, which seemed like really good value. If you’re a runner with any injuries I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: My 13th year old daughter did the run program. Coaching sessions and feedback provided was excellent. Highly reccomend.

Fantastic experience: It is a fantastic place to go strength and other fitness activities. I like the friendship with all the people that go here.

Fantastic experience: I attend both the running sessions and gym at run ready and I can’t fault Nick, Jo and the run ready crew. They provide a supportive environment and tailored programs to you interests. They dedication, knowledge and work has kept me running injury free.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and professional, supportive coaches and great gym facility! - grateful to have found Run Ready, seeing plenty of results in my sprinting performance!

Fantastic experience: The team at Run Ready are great with teens. They train and educate their movement ability the right way and are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for any teen sportsperson.

Fantastic experience: As a parent of teenage kids, who already attend Run Ready’s core training sessions, the addition of an on-site physiotherapist facility offers a crucial element to supporting our kids develop a full sense of their body’s capacity in training, playing and recovery. Richie (the physio) diagnosed my sons hamstring and tendon injury, and made sure he understood that recovery and a specific training program of strength exercises were key to getting back on the soccer pitch. Richie has worked with the Run ready training staff to develop this program and now the recovery path is clear. Thanks Run Ready for shifting an injury into a realm of new possibilities and learning for our son. We experienced high level of care, professionalism and support to have him get back to his sport, and to learn to be curious about the process of recovery and what he might gain from having this awareness. Couldn’t recommend this service more highly to support our kids to learn more about themselves in sport.

Fantastic experience: Richard at Run Ready has helped give me the confidence to get back into the gym and work on my lower back pain. His attitude towards the treatment of his client is first class and has helped guide me through the initial struggles of exercising with lower back pain. I wake up excited to go and see the team at Run Ready as I slowly work back to living pain free.

Fantastic experience: A really great place to work on your fitness. Offers excellent gym facilities and coaches, as well as comprehensive running program. Beneficial both for those running competitively or casually.

Fantastic experience: Loving the new venue. Both my wife and I have been training with Run Ready for over 10 years. The gym provides a great setting to stay motivated and injury free. Having a tailored program, testing and the latest equipment ensures we can achieve our goals whilst enjoying the company and support of the Run Ready Team! It’s an added bonus to receive strength training from the Australian shot put champion

Fantastic experience: Run ready has helped me strengthen my body after having two children and has improved my functional capacity enormously. My trainers are fun, focused and skilled. The studio is welcoming and encouraging regardless of skill level. My sessions help me maintain my well-being and I am hugely grateful.

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed training here the last few months. There is a great group of coaches that write great programs and provide support throughout the sessions

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Run Ready for 5 years and loved every second of it. The whole team is highly qualified, you’re in expert hands.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym and nice trainers

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches, specific coaching programs based on both strength and running requirements. Would highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Probably the best place to work on strength and conditioning in Melbourne. The team helps each individual reach their goals and targets. Training is done specifically and not just for the whole bunch which is amazing and hard to find these days. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely loved the teen strength and conditioning program for my daughter. The coaches are committed, engaging and experienced in providing appropriate age/development specific programs. My daughter has learnt a lot about exercise and fitness and what it means to be strong and healthy. Her confidence has grown and she notices the positive effects and results of her hard work. Highly recommend run ready.

Fantastic experience: Before training with Run Ready I thought consistent injury and fatigue were just a part of running. Since joining Run Ready just over a year ago (both running squad and gym sessions) I have completed my first marathon, haven’t been injured once and am feeling more confident than ever!

Fantastic experience: My physiotherapist recommended Run Ready to me to help with back pain. My sessions at Run Ready have improved my core strength and fitness and I have been pain free. I appreciate having an exercise program with expert instructors, that is lacking at the mainstream gym. It's been a friendly and enjoyable experience with Nick, Jo and staff.
