#111 Elaine Hart | What does it mean to thrive?

Power Fitness Events founder Elaine Hart is our guest on this week's podcast. Power Fitness essentially provide spin bike classes in a truly original way, and have to be experienced to be understood - the only real similarity with a normal spin class is that you are on a spin bike. Chief Banana Officer Elaine describes these sessions as an immersive group ride experience that connects and empowers people, transforming their mental and physical fitness. Having attended one of Elaine's spin sessions recently, on the beach at sunrise, I can honestly say that no other spinning class comes close to achieving the holistic goals that Elaine supports each individual to achieve in the sessions. You will not leave the group feeling anything like you did when you started!

 

Elaine has developed this business from scratch, having previously worked in luxury goods and high performance motor sports events. During the pandemic Elaine ran Power Fitness on donations for 2 yrs - all the sessions were online, and people could access them with or without a spin bike - walking, dancing, exercising at home, running - any kind of movement enabled you to participate fully in the session, you only needed internet. In this way Elaine provided extremely accessible mental health support, where the connection and empowerment experienced through the sessions gave people, who may or may not have been struggling during the pandemic, tangible and very affordable support.

 

Elaine talks about what it really means to thrive; the importance of focusing on controlling the controllable's and not everything else; and encourages us to ask questions such as, "Who was I, before the world told me who I should be?"
