Happy National Sunglasses Day! We all love being outside, and having the correct eyewear can help prevent strain and headaches, increase visibility, and make your activities more enjoyable.

Another plus: great eyewear doesn't have to break the bank! Stop by and check out our selection of Goodr glasses, designed specifically to stay in place when you're on the move! 😎

When an Ames runner is struck by a distracted driver, he is told he will never be able to run again. Though all odds were stacked against him, Tim Rasmussen persisted. Listen to the story about his return to running on our YouTube channel.

Having your running and walking form recorded is a crucial part in the shoe-fitting process for a number of reasons: ⬇️

- Your form can change over time and periodic checkups can help keep you healthy
- If you aren't being recorded, there's no way to ensure that you're getting the correct footwear 👟

At Fitness Sports, our experts will work with you one-on-one to make sure you're wearing the right shoes for your form, foot, and goals. Stop by any of our stores for a fitting!

Join us for a full day of fun, including a donut race, sidewalk sale, kids' activities, and more! Thank you for your support over the years; we can't wait to see you on Saturday! 🥳👟

During the summer months, we tend to really get our sweat on. No matter the activity; running, walking, outdoor yoga, or a friendly game of pickleball, we really need to stay hydrated. Let's talk hydration tips!

If you want more information or help with your fueling, reach out to our nutritionist, Ceyda! She does one on one coaching and can help you reach your goals and feel your best, no matter the season or activity!

If you're looking for a sign that it's time to let the experts help you find the perfect pair of running or walking shoes... this is it 🪧
