The Gift of a Healthy Start: Riovana Gift Certificates

My friends and I made a pact to have a scheduled run every Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s so cool to see a lot of people make ‘running’ resolutions this New Year. Last Sunday, my husband and I jogged at the UP Oval and there was quite an unusual number of people in the area. The whole street seemed to be covered by people.

The new year is all about new beginnings, and a good gift to give would be a gift that would signify a healthy start. You can do this by giving out Riovana Gift Certificates, since a lot of people are into running!

Riovana, the Sole of Running is the newest hub for Runners and Enthusiasts alike.

Founded by one of the most prominent people in the running industry to date, Coach Rio De La Cruz, Riovana got its name from its owner (Rio) and nir(VANA) which means a state of enlightenment and transcendence.

Riovana’s vision is to be able to give each and every runner a heightened experience by providing them with the right skills, tools and knowledge about running.

Allow your recipient to engage in a sole journey towards wellness as he enters Riovana.  The Gait Analysis, a 3-cam set up that helps determine the foot type and gauge the running skills of a person will help locate the perfect running pair of shoes for your recipient. Allow him to choose from a wide array of branded shoes, apparel and accessories to fit his every need.


Riovana’s own locker/shower rooms and member’s lounge area with free internet access only add up to the heightened experience it offers. Allow your recipient to go Sole Searching as he builds lasting relationships with fellow runners and enthusiasts alike, while enjoying the facilities Riovana has ins tore for the privileged few.

Cap off this wonderful sole journey with Sole Healing: a post-run treatment hub that offers various services guaranteed to relax your body and soul. Help someone begin his priceless journey towards health and wellness now. Give a Riovana Gift Certificate.

Visit Riovana at the Ground Floor of Active Fun Building 9th avenue corner 28th street at the Bonifacio Global City, near Honda BGC and at the 3rd Floor of Regis Center Building, Loyola Heights, Quezon City in front of Ateneo De Manila University.
