Our founder’s own experience of addiction and mental health struggles, and overcoming adversity through fitness, is the inspiration behind these events.

​​​Our Mission
To empower individuals through functional fitness and shared experience; building a community where people challenge their limits, support their mental health, and raise each other up in the pursuit of something real.
Every drop of sweat becomes a symbol of solidarity. Every rep is a reminder that you’re not alone. And when you cross the line, it’s not just about time, it’s about transformation.
​
This isn’t just a fitness event.
It’s a movement.
It’s a mindset.
It’s By Athena.
​
It’s a #ST8OFMIND.
