SoleMate Training Program

$69.00

Free with every TFC SoleMate

Green to Black belt progression

Follow-along videos + manual

This program is included free with every SoleMate and SoleMate Kit. If you're buying one of those, your access is already handled. No need to purchase here.

The SoleMate Training Program is your guided path to stronger feet and better balance, designed to be done with your SoleMate.

Our training uses a martial-arts-inspired belt system to help you track your progress across three levels: Green (Beginner), Blue (Intermediate) and Black (Advanced). Earn each belt by completing its Belt Grading Flow, a sequence of skills that shows you're ready to move up.

At every level you'll explore three elements of TFC Training: Train, Flow and Connect, through follow-along video tutorials with Jim Dooner, our head physiotherapist.

Most of the program can also be done on a couple of rolled-up towels if you don't have your SoleMate yet.

Printable Training Manual

Lifetime Access
One payment. Access forever via the TFC app or on desktop. Repeat any belt as many times as you like.

This standalone version is for everyone else:

People using a different balance tool who want a proper training system
Those training without a tool, on rolled-up towels or the floor
Anyone rebuilding balance, foot strength and coordination
People who want to progress at their own pace, level by level
Those who enjoy game-based, playful practice over dry exercise routines

No experience needed. We meet you at your level with the Balance Screen and help you find your Goldilocks Zone: not too easy, not too hard.

Love the soul mate

Soul mate is helping me gain balance. All I love the toe separators

Hi Shelley,
We’re so happy to hear you’re loving your SoleMate and Wild Toes! 😊 It’s great that you’re already feeling the balance benefits — keep it up, your feet will thank you for it!

THE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR YOUR SOLEMATE

TRAIN WITH PURPOSE

Your SoleMate is the tool. This program is the system that turns it into progress. That's why it comes free with every SoleMate and SoleMate Kit, because without the training, the tool sits in a corner.

Most people buy a balance tool and hope for the best. The SoleMate Training Program gives you a structured path from Green to Black, with follow-along sessions and a way to see exactly where you are and where you're going.

No guesswork. No repeating the same drills forever. Just a clear plan, led by Jim Dooner, our head physiotherapist.

HOW THE TRAINING WORKS

TRAIN

Prepare your feet and restore their natural function. Practice drills and skills that challenge your balance, mobility and coordination.

FLOW

Break down the stance and task that forms your belt grading flow. Rehearse, refine, and build ownership over the movement.

CONNECT

Play games with a partner that turn practice into friendly competition or collaboration. Express what you've been building.

It's the first step inside the program and the thing you'll come back to as you retest and track progress.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. This program is included free with every SoleMate and every SoleMate Kit. If you're buying either of those, you don't need to buy this separately. Access is in your order confirmation email.

For everyone not buying a SoleMate from us. If you already own a different balance tool, train without one, or want to add the training after the fact, you can buy the program on its own here.

If you've got the choice, the SoleMate Kit is the better deal: you get the right tool plus the training, all in one.

The program is designed to be done with your SoleMate, which is the ideal tool. You can also complete most of the program on a couple of rolled-up towels, which is a great option if you don't have your SoleMate yet or if you want to reduce the intensity of pressure on your feet.

Each belt's program runs on a 4-week cycle: Train days 1 to 4, Flow day 5, Connect days 6 and 7. You repeat the cycle until you feel ready to test your Belt Grading Flow and move to the next level. Progress at your own pace.

Start with our TFC Balance Screen. Hold 4 balance stances for 60 seconds each to get a score out of 100%. Your score tells you which belt to start with: 0 to 39% = Green, 40 to 89% = Blue, 90 to 100% = Black.
