My New Kicks
I go the distance for ice cream and new kicks! I earned ALL my curves. I am ok with it! Haters are always going to hate….LOL!
As many of you know I have nerve damage from shingles. I have something called PHN and I am in chronic pain. Although it doesn’t all seem like anything is wrong, I am in pain. I have learned to deal with it to an extend. I even started working out again with using my whole body. In doing so I was asked to come to Endurance House OC to see if they could help me with maintaining my fitness goals. I was a little shocked at first. What does picking out shoes have to do with my fitness goals?
Endurance House OC
Well, Endurance House OC offers a complete assessment testing for their shoes and how that helps you with movement and how to maximize your workouts. Even if that is walking. They also host running clubs and so much more. I had the greatest experience meeting Jeff and his Crew. You can tell when people have passion for what they do and its so neat when you get to experience first hand.
My feet, back and arms are in pure bliss. This is just from modifying one small thing. Get your assessment done today at Endurance House OC to find out how they can maximize your workouts too.
Jeff and his Crew
Jeff Hubeli, Chief Endurance Officer/ Owner of Endurance House OC is such a down to earth sweet guy and, his whole staff is.
The Endurance House Personalized Movement Profile™ which consists of five phases:
I was a bit skeptical of the whole ordeal and that was because I didn’t understand it. It did look kind of intimidating but that was because I didn’t understand it. I am glad I took the time to listen and be informed.
When you go in you will be greeted by amazing staff and enthused sincere customer service representatives who are very knowledgeable of their product. I was going in with the intention of getting new running shoes. I just started working out again after 5 years. When I say working out I mean full body workouts and extreme cardio. Ok maybe not extreme but to me there are! LOL My Nike Shoes were 3 or 5 years old and I was in dire need of new ones.
When you go in looking for workout shoes be prepared to let your guard down put down your phone and be prepared to socialize with eye to eye contact. I know, what a concept right? This is the phase where Endurance House OC gets to know you and your goals. This is not a therapy session when I say “CHAT”, you chat about your fitness goals and where you want to go and where you have been. Although Jeff and his staff are totally cool and I am sure even if you had to vent they would be down!
This phase is called the “Consult” phase.
The next phase is “Move” You go on the treadmill with your current shoe or the shoe they provide to you to wear for the consultation.
MOVE
Learn: This is where they learn the “foot strike analysis”.
Learn
Fit: They have 7 brands of shoes and 4 styles per brand. Then shoes are gathered after looking at the analysis that would be best for you and your goals.
Fit
Test Drive: Try on one at a time again and they go back to the “Move” phase to test it out and a comparison is done.
Test: This is the comparison the side by side. The one on the left is my foot with the new shoe on the one of the right is the first shoe I tried on.
Both my sons are runners and this would be brilliant for them, especially the eldest as he is having some issues whilst running at the mo, so wish we lived close by!! (mind you might have to train them on the eye to eye contacting and speaking in person not via phone lol)
We have a place near us that does this and I think it’s a really great service to provide.
Ok–where is this place? I went to the site and no mention of where I can find them. I have never seen anything like this around here!
Endurance House OC is located at 24012 Aliso Creek Rd in Laguna Niguel. We are in the Whole Foods shopping center at the corner of La Paz and Aliso Creek. See you soon!!!
This sounds so interesting, I bet it would be of great help to those who work out and those who have mobility issues as well perhaps. x
This kind of experience would be so nice for people of varying levels of running experience. It would be awesome knowing I’d be picking up the perfect pair of shoes.
When we join the military the first thing that’s done is a shoe assessment. With the amount of running we do, it’s a must. I would recommend everyone get it done, you just might be wearing the wrong shoe.
Very nice new kicks! Yes, embrace your curves!!
I love that you have a plan in place to deal with your health. I would love to be more active but it is difficult due to my bone pain.
Cool. This looks like such an amazing idea.
Looks like a great store, and I love those shoes! I need some new ones myself – thanks for the recommendation!
I had no idea that the kinds of shoes or sneakers you wear when working out are so important. This is great to know.
What a cool idea. I have never heard of this. I wonder if there is one close to where I live.
Wearing the right shoes really makes the difference. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and was in so much pain. When I found the right sneakers for me, i can walk and run without having to worry about my feet hurting later.
I love stores like this! We have one in downtown Providence and they always help me find the best great- almost like it was custom made for me!
I love your new shoes. The pink looks cute with the light blue laces.
I love personalized stuff. Your new shoes look awesome & I bet they are super comfy now!
This is a great idea. You really need to get shoes that fit your needs. It does make such a difference.
I love you kicks! It’s good to know that there are stores like this to help you find the perfect shoes.
I guess in the running world, I would be a greenhorn. As much as I would like to, I think walking is a better option for me. Endurance House is a great place to shop for exercise/running/walking shoes.
Love your new sneakers. They are very nice looking and I bet they are super comfy.
I am really going to have to try and google this to see if I can find a place that does this near me–the older I get the harder it is for me to get shoes that fit properly. And even walking or standing in one place can be painful when you are wearing the wrong shoes.
Nice place to shop for shoes! I really need a new hiking boot soon. Thanks for letting us know about it.
They look great. I love jogging and need to find myself some new comfortable shoes. This was a great reminder!
This would be the perfect store for my friend. She has a passion for running. I will have to share this with her.
The proper shoes for running is so important. This looks like a great store. I will have to check it out.
Good luck on your runs! I just got a fitbit… gotta make a move!
We used to have a shoe store like that back home and I really miss it. I have yet to find one here – they really do make the difference in finding the perfect fit for running shoes.
