Our Partners
ASICS
ASICS, one of the “Big Three” in the running/walking shoe market, is intimately involved with our business, both from a product supply, and training and research perspective. ASICS is the official apparel technology partner of Run/Walk For Life. Our franchisees/managers are constantly trained and updated on the latest developments in shoe technology by the technical experts at ASICS. Run/Walk For Life members receive a discount on all ASICS footwear and apparel from selected premium ASICS suppliers.
FUTURELIFE
As a brand which is based on science and medical research, it makes sense that Run/Walk For Life would partner with a nutrition partner that has the same core values as it does. In FUTURELIFE®, Run/Walk For Life has a nutrition partner whose smart food products are scientifically formulated and tested. Run/Walk For Life members benefit from the ongoing collaboration with FUTURELIFE®'s multi-disciplinary team of science and nutritional experts.

You can join Edgars Club from as little as R53 per month.
eatForLife
As a brand whose foundations are based on science and medical research, it makes sense that Run/Walk For Life would partner with one of South Africa’s top, medically endorsed nutrition programmes, eatForLife. In line with Run/Walk For Life’s philosophy that wellness is related to physical activity, as well as Nutrition habits, having a partnership with a nutrition programme that is endorsed by ADSA makes complete sense.
eatForLife is an electronic weight-loss programme which specialises in changing lifestyles and eating habits for good, so that members will not gain the weight again and look for yet another quick fix solution. eatForLife is designed by and is administered by registered dieticians, and is scientifically based.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIETY OF PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Being a program that is medically underpinned and sound, RWFL is endorsed by the SASP. On a regular basis, research and developments in the exercise field are shared between the SASP and RWFL, so as to keep our programme relevant and up to date with the latest developments in the field.
UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND - EXERCISE IS MEDICINE
Exercise is Medicine (EIM) is a global initiative of the American College of Sports Medicine. It has regional chapters in North America, South America, Europe, the Far East and Australia. South Africa, via Wits University, has been invited to become the footprint for the African regional chapter for Exercise is Medicine.
Through our partnership with the Sports Science Department of the University of the Witwatersrand and Exercise is Medicine, Run/Walk For Life ensures that our programme is continuously updated and kept up to date with the latest developments in the world of exercise science and research.
