Run Republic

Super great! Staff were super helpful and patient. The biggest bonus? They are one of the only two running shops in SoCal that carry Kilian’s nNormal.

Such a lovely couple! Very informative on the shoes in the shop and they’re very patient as you shop around. Originally wanted one pair of shoes, but by the end of my visit I was eager to buy a second style for recovery. I’ll definitely be returning.

Luis was SUPER helpful and amazing at diagnosing and helping us try on a couple of different running shoes. Gave some great advice and helped us find the right pair to get back on the roads and trails for training while minimizing injuries.

Highly recommend coming here for a visit for your next pair of running shoes :)

First time stopping in today! John was super knowledgeable and friendly. He took his time and went above and beyond to help us find the perfect running shoes!

Had a great time ! They scanned my feet and perform gait analysis. I got the arahi w mild stability for my recommendation and my wife got the torin. Great shoes and service. Also coming back for their fitness classes

This is a great gym studio to go to when you want to switch up your workout routine from time to time. Please keep in mind this review is based on the group workout classes they offer through my Class Pass. This gym studio is also convenient for me since I moved to West Covina more than a year ago and I wanted to build a community here.

I took a class today for a full body workout with Katherine Morales. This is my second time taking her class through Class Pass and she has been a great instructor with full of energy!

Katherine is very friendly, kind, encouraging, attentive, and helpful. She is always making sure everyone was in proper good form when everyone is doing the exercises and she keeps everyone motivated throughout the session.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone especially if you need a quick full body workout! Katherine will put you to work, but not just push you, but in a very supporting, encouraging, and motivational way. She always treat everyone fairly and she respects your boundary and limitations.

Very informative workers. And passionate about what they do. Didn't know so much went into shoes! Definitely stop by!

Coach Joe is a true professional! Absolutely passionate about his craft, and can help you find your perfect pair custom tailored for your feet shape and geometry! Very satisfied with my purchases

Best shoe store you could visit! Great selection, and very kind and knowledgable staff! Lorenzo helped us tonight and was so patient and provided us w/ excellent care and service! Great place-Highly recommended.

Joe and Nick (hoping I got the correct spelling) were wonderful in helping my husband find the right pair for him and his fitness goals. Their knowledge and enthusiasm are very endearing. Wish I had a store like this around when I was in high school! Definitely recommend. The products, service, and prices are all 5 stars.

Thank you, Run Republic for my first pair of running shoes ❤ My partner has flat feet and always has difficulty finding the right shoes. Armando took care and listened to us. He made sure my partner had the right shoes and orthos to do daily activities free from pain. Feels good to take care of our feet so thank you for the care!

Went there for the 1st over a year ago and decided to take my business somewhere else because the person selling me my 1st running shoes was not knowledgeable. I returned a few months later after meeting Nico at a running event and he has helped me buy 4 pairs of running shoes since while also helping me grow as a runner!!! The guy goes out of his way to make sure you are happy with your purchases/runs!! It’s always great to run with their running group on Saturdays!! Thank you Nico!!!

Run Republic. I'm new to this area and the store, and visited only a handful of times. However, each time I have had consistently excellent service. My first visit back in March 2022 was just to pick up Gel/Goo packs for the LA marathon. I left not only with packs of Gel, but advice and a sense of welcoming runner's community from Joe. I'm very active, but Joe was giving me advice on taking my experiences to the next level -Ultra Marathons and beyond! He provided me dates on upcoming training runs, races, etc.

Fast forward to today and I am signed up for Spartan Big Bear beast in 3 weeks and need new trail shoes yesterday (I know, bad situation). Joe helps get me measure my gait, pronation and suited up. I walk out with trail shoes and now ready to break them in.

Thank you Joe for the shoes!

Super friendly and knowledgeable customer service, was looking for a specific shoe for my mom and Joann was not only able to find a great shoe, but answered all my questions as well. They kept me updated on shipping and went above and beyond to check if the shoe was a great fit (weeks after I purchased). Definitely will be going back to Stockton Run Republic!

My experience at Run Republic in Walnut was awesome. I had previously bought some Hoka shoes online from Hoka and had a terrible experience with them being very uncomfortable and was helped to try out multiple shoes settling on some New Balance that were so unreal comfortable that now during my 12 hour nursing shifts where I am on my feet a lot, I don't have anymore discomfort and feel great! I'll be sending all my friends and family to Run Republic.

Don’t walk to Run Republic, run! It’s that wonderful! I love this incredible gym! The facility is clean and inviting, the members are friendly, and the staff is top-notch! The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. They make it their personal mission to provide a great workout for everyone, from the novice to the more seasoned exerciser. Modifications are also suggested, so varying fitness abilities is not an issue. Every day is different in terms of the class’s focus, so you have an opportunity to work different muscle groups and improve overall fitness, while avoiding repetition and boredom. I’m a regular at Coach Devin’s classes, so I have to give her a special shout-out, because she has made all the difference in terms of my renewed love of fitness. Her workouts are always challenging and fun, and she keeps me motivated! Run Republic is a gem of a gym and I feel lucky to be a member!

I've been attending since January and I love it! The workouts are well thought out. They rotate the parts worked daily so there's no risk of overuse if you attend all week. It's not the same workouts week after week. The staff really cares about your progress and challenges you to challenge yourself. They get to know you, so they know when to push you. The instructors each have their own style so you can choose classes based on your specific fitness goals. They often have fitness challenges with incentives, and they offer specialized small group training for stretching (important to avoid injury and help with recovery). I could go on. This place is a caring community of fitness minded, results-oriented people, that know how to have fun and make the journey to a fitter self enjoyable and fulfilling.

I picked up some Hokas for myself and Altra's for my son. We were able to try on lots of different shoes/different brands. The person at the store was very helpful and patient! We also participated in a shoe demo at their Saturday morning community run. It so great to be able to run 6 miles in a pair of shoes to see if you really like them or not. I absolutely love this place!!

This local family business is amazing with excellent customer service and plenty of options to shop for!! I’ve bought several shoes and sunglasses for my family. The quality, styles & comfort of shoes/ sunglasses are the reasons I keep coming back for more . I definitely recommend this store for your sports attire and accessories!

Came late in the evening to change running shoe types for the first time in a while. staff was friendly and knowledgeable, store was very clean, gym in the back looked amazing. Had almost all the sizes I was looking for, but got a shoe that fit well. Also staff do follow covid guidelines and disinfected shoes after I tried them on.
