The return 🏃🏾‍♂️

Managed to hit 20kms this week, truly humbling experience coming back from injury. Heart rate has been through the roof 🤣 Just happy to be back out there.

Looking forward to watching the boys race Auckland next week 🔥

Best thing about M2? Not the equipment, the people. 🖤

Open week run club this morning with LSKD members, first timers and a few self proclaimed “non runners” who smashed it anyway. All paces, nobody left behind, and refuel waiting back at the gym from ELYTE and Forty Thieves.

This is what we mean when we say community.
Open week runs until 18/10/26 no better time to check us out!
 📍 8 Nugent Street, Grafton

That was UA26 💛🌊

What a day, Mount Maunganui!

After everything this year threw our way, seeing everyone come together on Main Beach yesterday made it all worthwhile.

We took the challenges and turned them into an opportunity to bring hybrid to the beach, UA style.

But what makes Ultimate Athlete special has always been the people. The athletes giving it their all, the crews doing it together, our incredible volunteer judges, the supporters and the whole community getting behind each other.

And to our amazing event crew, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring it all together, we couldn't do this without you 💛

It wouldn't have been possible without our incredible partners, the local businesses who came on board to help make this new format possible, and Tauranga City Council for their continued support.

And to everyone who came down, cheered us on and supported our local Mount businesses, thank you.

We're so lucky to call this place home, and even luckier to have a community like this. 💛

If you were part of UA26, this one's for you. Share it with your crew and everyone who made your day special.

We can't wait to do it all again 🌊

The hardest part of the journey isn’t the work.
It’s learning to embrace the moments when the work gets hard.

The doubt.
The fatigue.
The days where motivation disappears.
The sessions where you question whether you’re actually getting better.

That’s where the difference is made.

Anyone can show up when they feel good.
Anyone can train when the numbers are moving, the body feels fresh, and everything is going their way.

The real growth happens when you show up anyway.

You don’t need to feel motivated every day.
You need to become the person who keeps the promise they made to themselves, especially when nobody is watching.

The goal was never to make it easy.

The goal was to become harder to break.

Keep going.
Keep building.
Keep earning the next version of yourself.
