Why Real Strength Stories Matter at Ritual Rep Co.

At Ritual Rep Co., we believe real strength comes from discipline, intent, and the courage to keep going. Our supportive fitness community across Australia and New Zealand is for anyone who’s ever chosen to show up, put in the work, and move forward, no matter where they started or how far they’ve come.

How to Share Your Journey with Our Supportive Fitness Community

We’re building something bigger than just a brand. We want to hear your story, whether it’s about overcoming a challenge, a win you’re proud of, or a moment where you found new discipline or growth. Success stories are just as important as stories of struggle or change. You don’t have to be a customer to take part. If you believe in effort, resilience, and supporting others, you’re already part of what we’re building.

A Founder’s Story: Discipline, Setbacks, and Growth

A few years ago, I got injured training. I used to do self-defence at Western Combatives, but I didn’t take care of my body. Despite what my trainer Jeff told me, I kept pushing through with that “no pain, no gain” mindset until a shoulder injury forced me to stop. Scrolling through social media one day, I found a white-collar boxing event raising money for cancer. It felt like the perfect opportunity: test myself, step into the ring, and help a good cause all at once.

When I told my wife I’d signed up, her first response was, “Seriously, with your shoulder?” She was right, I couldn’t even throw a punch without pain. But I’d committed, so I booked in with a physio and told him I had 12 weeks until fight night. Three days a week of rehab for six weeks, and my shoulder was the best it had been in years. Then came six weeks of hard training, five days a week, sometimes twice a day.

Fight night arrived before I knew it. Three two-minute rounds. Last fight of the night. My adrenaline was through the roof, and in the second round, I got stuck on the ropes. I thought it was over until I heard my trainer Jeff Phillips shouting instructions from the crowd. I found my focus and kept going.

I didn’t win that fight. I lost on a split decision. But I didn’t give up.

I finished what I started, we collectively raised $33,000 for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation and I learned that real strength is about showing up, listening to your body, and pushing forward even when things don’t go to plan.
