As we approach this milestone, we'll be taking a look back at some of the moments we've shared with our community that paved the way and shaped who we are today.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey with us. We look forward to revisiting these memories with you.
Here is a quick summary of our Road to 20 years series so far, with more to come…
For this entry in the Road to 20 Years series we’re looking back at an event that has made a one and only appearance on the Drive Fitness calendar - the Team RowErg & BikeERG Duathlon. Held on a Friday night, 10 May 2019, teams of 4 - two men and two women - raced through a 2000m BikeErg immediately following by a 1000m RowErg with each team member completing 250m row and 500m bike in relay format.
On Sunday 1 September 2013, almost 13 years ago, Drive Fitness entered a team in the Bridge to Brisbane 10km event. It wasn't our first Bridge to Brisbane - we'd been entering a Drive Fitness team every year since 2009, but there were a few things about the 2013 event that made it particularly memorable.
Not long after starting Drive Fitness in 2007 we began thinking about ways to bring our clients together outside of their regular training sessions. At the time we had fewer than 20 clients, but we were enthusiastic about building a community centred around health, fitness and supporting each other.
in July 2016, during the 2nd Annual 4 Week Workout Series we introduced a one-off format change that remains a one-and-only in Drive Fitness history, an unexpected 5th workout final. Only the top 10 men and top 10 women from the first 4 workouts were invited to compete in this head-to-head event to determine the overall winner of the series. It hadn’t been done before and hasn’t been done since.
The inaugural Tough Mudder QLD event took place in August 2013 on the Sunshine Coast and the Drive Fitness team was there! This was our first ever obstacle course together - but it wouldn't be our last!
