Hey Team, Dan here..

Today I am taking a step back and reflecting on what has been a bit of a whirlwind year for us & Organic Strength - a slightly longer read than usual, but it will be worth the read :)

First though, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the part you have played, be it big or small, in helping us grow - your support means so much.

Our email community includes current and previous members of Organic, and also our in-person 1-to-1 and online athletes.

To all of you who has reached out or interacted with us & our business - we thank you so much.

This is only the beginning, we are both incredibly excited and focused on building Organic Strength into something special…

We hope you come on this journey with us 🌱

Now, onto the yearly reflections…

January 2023

At the beginning of the year we sat down and discussed our goals & intentions for the year.

It was pretty clear - leave PureGym.

The goal was actually “Be in a position to leave PureGym by December 2023.”

We knew our growth was being stunted working there - we strived for more.

We wanted to grow Organic Strength on our own terms.

But we needed a place to move to…

June 2023

In June 2023 we handed in our notices and signed a lease on a small commercial premises in Fazakerly. We made the leap.

It was certainly a risk, it was removing the safety net - but we were unbelievably excited.

We were free.

We spent our notice period back and forth from PureGym, using any spare time around coaching sessions to clean, paint and assemble all of our equipment.

By mid July we were up and running, and we were full steam ahead working to create something that we are both immensely passionate about.

It has been 5 months since we opened our gym, which is crazy - time flies.

It has been a rollercoaster of a year - we would have laughed at you in January if you’d have told us that by the Summer you’ll be running your own independent gym business.

But here we are…

The last 5 months has had it’s ups and downs - we have grown as both people and as coaches, and Organic Strength is a completely different business to what it was in January.

The exciting thing is it’s only getting better.

We have both learned a tremendous amount this year, and I wanted to share a few lessons with you, in hope that can use them in your life to develop personally or professionally, or both 🌱

3 lessons we have learned this year:

1. Start the thing today - there’s no such thing as the ‘right time’

2. Live in the present - Otherwise life will pass you by

3. Consistency Compounds - Show up even when you don’t want to

I still battle with #2 & #3, but the aim is to get a little better each day.

Here’s what to expect from Organic Strength in 2024…

• The Performance Journal by OS - We are taking our Newsletter to the next level (follow our growth story and gain health & performance insights)

• New Training Programmes: SCULPT, SHAPE & PERFORM (Coming 02/01/2024) 👀

• The OS Running Club

• NEW Free Resources - Coming January 2024

• NEW OFFERS - We are taking our Coaching Service to the Next Level

2023 was a big year for Organic Strength

2024 will be even bigger
