Its been hard for me to find the words to write this post as anything I’ve tried to put down just doesn’t really reflect how I feel about our team, and in particular this group of women (+ 2 others other not in the main photo).
This weekend 9 of us from our gym took part in the She-Ultra, female only, 50km ultra marathon in Wales.
None of us have ever run or walked that distance before so as you can imagine the training alone leading up to the event has been tough. Hours and hours of running/walking in all weathers whilst also had to managing life responsibilities, work, and everything else thrown at us women. And our poor families have had to fend for themselves most weekends 🙊
On Friday we arrived in Wales to news that the weather wasn’t going to be our friend on race day. Strong gales and rain were predicted and I don’t think any of us were prepared for what was thrown at us on the day - 45 mph wind, rain, hail, sand blown at us, sun, rainbows, you name it we experienced it 😫
Despite all of this and some other technical issues during the race (route changes, and long delays at various stages) everyone finished the race on Saturday, in their own time, & in their own way. It’s no easy feat tackling an ultra marathon and this one was particularly challenging due to the weather but our team of bad ass women showed they had an abundance of resilience, strength, and determination. Alongside all of this the team support along the way has been just incredible 🥰. Throughout this we’ve all needed the support of one another at some point along the way.
To say we are proud is an understatement as, according to statistics only 0.00002 % of the worlds population have completed an ultra marathon so our gang is (as we already know) very, very unique and stronger than I think even they realised.
And to top it all off we also managed to raise over £3000 for 3 local charities that support women 😘
Well done everyone, you’re all amazing ❤️

The Reyt Strong Xmas do 2025
What a night 😊
Our annual Christmas do gets bigger every year as more and more fabulous women have joined our team. This year was our biggest turn out so far. We might be a small gym but we filled Kelu with our feminine energy 😜
Each year we use our party to not only let our hair down but to celebrate our team. You may have noticed that our vibe isn’t actually a social media page filled with pictures of semi-naked before and after pictures, instead we prefer to celebrate fitness, strength, community, and all things that celebrate us women feeling strong, happy and confident.
We give out our annual awards each year at our party to celebrate hard work, determination, and progress in the gym. And then our team nominate the gym member they think brings motivation, fun, positivity, and generally good vibes to each session. This is way of us celebrating good work and of course bro gong is together.
All in all, despite some sore feet and a few headaches the next day the night was brilliant.
And for us as a coaching team it was chance for us to step back and feel proud of the brilliant community we’ve created with our incredible, (Reyt) strong, chatty, inspiring, and sometimes a little crazy, gang of women.
Cheers Reyt Strong gang, you really are the best 🥂

This picture may look like a few women sat in a running shop but it’s much more than that. This is a picture of a large group of fabulous women from our little gym. They’re fabulous because we’ve managed to convince them to sign up to an Ultra marathon next year (the ).
Although there are some casual runners in the group most of us haven’t EVER tackled more than a half-marathon or a 10k, and there’s one or two that haven’t done any type of distance event!
As a gym we love to encourage and inspire our team to take part in events/challenges. Our main focus has always been to show women what they are capable of and how strong they are instead of focusing on how small they can shrink their bodies. This picture may not look much to most people but for us it represents the strength, courage, and community we’ve built in our gym and we couldn’t be prouder.
There’s a lot of training ahead of us over the next few months but we’re excited to be sharing the journey together. And we’ll be showing off as soon as we have completed it 😜
Thank you to for hosting an event for us this evening and prepping us for our big adventure.
