Strive Ltd.

We love hearing about what our Strive athletes have been achieving! Amy has been swimming with us for over two years now and has taken on some triathlon challenges, putting her swimming skills and endurance to the test! Her most recent achievement was completing the Sprint Triathlon at the Outlaw Nottingham event last weekend! 👏🏻👏🏻

It’s brilliant to see Amy’s confidence grow - she doesn’t let anything get in her way of achieving her goals. She’s a huge inspiration and I’m sure her daughter, one of our Strive Junior swimmers, is enormously proud of her too!

Thanks for being part of our Strive Community Amy! 🤩

We know you know this, but lifting weights can bring all kinds of transformations, and it really is something you should be doing. If you're curious about strength training and why Strive could be the right place for you to build strength, here's some reading for you:

Why we should be lifting weights There are infinite reasons why we all need to lift more weights. Whether you're an athlete or a health conscious, curious soul who wants to know more, in this post I try to cover as many as I can!

Congratulations to another wonderful Strive athlete, Fred, on completing his first ever marathon today in Prague 💪🏽🤩🥳

Conditions were hot but thanks to really consistent training, including weekly S&C sessions, Fred completed the distance in 4 hours 🙌🏽

Fred joined Strive just 2 years ago and before this, hadn’t made fitness or ‘training for something’ part of his life. We remember early conversations where he couldn’t imagine being able to swim, run or bike great distances. But with courage and conviction, he joined group training, made friends and has devoured challenges including swimming to Herm, taking part in Guernsey Tri and Guernsey Athletics events. Multi sport is now part of Fred’s life and we feel pretty honoured to have him in our community 🥰

(Congrats also to Jack, Fred’s marathon buddy!)

Last week, Strive swimmer, Florence, won a prize for her entry in the ‘Get Caught Reading’ competition. This photo was taken at the end of her Strive swim session and won for being the craziest place to be caught reading. We just love it! 🤩❤️🙌🏽
