RUN CLUB

A Community Initiative by Kaizen Physical Therapy, Peoria, AZ

Mission Statement:
At Kaizen Physical Therapy, we believe in continuous improvement — not just in recovery, but in performance, health, and community. The Kaizen Running Club was founded by Dr. Ray Sumayo, PT, DPT to bring together runners of all levels who want to improve safely, train smarter, and enjoy the process of getting better every day.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, a half marathon, or simply looking to stay active, this club is a place to connect, learn, and grow together.
