Bridge to Brisbane 2013 - The Road To 20 Years
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.
2013 was one of the last years we chartered our own private team bus. It picked everyone up from the Drive Fitness studio, dropped us as close to the start line as possible, then collected us after the event and brought us back to the studio. The bus ride was always great fun together. Waiting for everyone back at the Drive Fitness studio was a well deserved team BBQ to finish off the morning together.
For some of our team this event was a chance to chase a new personal best while for others it was the achievement of completing 10km for the very first time. Most importantly everyone supported each other and enjoyed the experience together.
More than a decade later, it's great to look back at another early Drive Fitness team event and remember the clients who got involved and made these so great.
13 years later, we're still entering a Drive Fitness team in the Bridge to Brisbane and creating new memories together!
Drive Fitness is on the road to 20 years!
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.

The First Ever Drive Fitness Event: The 2008 Bench Press Challenge - The Road to 20 Years
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.
