Good Form

Walk or run more efficiently and with less pain.

What is Good Form?

We spend our whole lives on the move: running, walking, skipping, trotting - you name it! While these concepts are familiar to us, it can come as a surprise that we could actually be moving better.

Our basic philosophy encourages a simple mantra: move light and easy. Instead of a complex bio-mechanical analysis, Good Form focuses on the simple, essential steps that allow for efficient and healthy running and walking.

Along with effective stretching and strengthening techniques, Good Form can benefit all ranges of runners and walkers. With simplicity as a focal point, Good Form has positively reached thousands of runners and walkers since 2006.

Good Form Running (GFR)

Run healthier and faster.

GFR was created after years of teaching clinics, studying running philosophies, and personal meetings with runners. Instead of a complex biomechanical analysis, GFR focuses on three simple, essential steps to help you become more efficient with fewer injuries.

Good Form is Transforming Lives

Scott Etzel

"Starting the program, I could run (slowly jog) about ½ a mile, then had to walk. Now I’m running 5 miles without stopping. The instruction has also kept me injury free, something that hasn’t happened for me in several years."

Curt Munson

"Good running form is the single most important thing I've learned in 30 years at Playmakers. I question why it took us so long to learn it."

John Benedict

"After ten years of not running because of injuries, I've been able to run since incorporating GFR, feeling great and avoiding injuries."

Dr. Jeffrey R. Kovan, DO

"My whole life I've experienced pain while running. GFR got me off running on my heels and onto my midfoot. This not only improved my efficiency and speed, but it's also made me a healthier runner for life."

Kristen Fell

"Good Form Running has been very helpful for me. I started out not being able to run very far at all and now am able to run a total of 6 miles!"

Mike Homan

"Coming from a cycling paradigm, the last thing I wanted to do was run. It wasn't enjoyable and it was a horrible shock to my quads. Since learning good form, running has become easier and more fluid for my body."
