Why your knees hurt when you run (and how to fix it)
Most running knee pain isn't a knee problem. It's a hip and ankle problem. Here's how we screen for it — and what we do.

Real feedback from people training with iTransform Hub — in person and online.
"The assessment alone was worth it — I finally understood why my knees hurt when I ran. Programme fixed it and my 5km time dropped by nearly three minutes."
"Online coaching kept me accountable while I was travelling for work. Weekly check-ins, a plan that adapted, and I didn't lose a step."
"I came in nervous and out of shape. Nobody made me feel out of place. Six months later I'm training three times a week and actually enjoying it."
"The small group sessions are the highlight of my week. Same quality coaching as 1-on-1, but the energy of training with your people."
"Down 12kg and lifting more than I ever have. The nutrition guidance was practical — nothing weird, nothing I couldn't keep up."
"I've trained with coaches before but never had one who actually tracks numbers. Squat, deadlift, vertical jump — all on record. Progress is real."
"Trained from Johannesburg on the online programme. Never felt like a remote client — video reviews, weekly calls, real accountability."
"The nutrition & habits add-on completely changed how I think about food. No cutting out carbs, no tracking apps — just practical habits I actually keep."
