On The WAVE Powered by Gymshark

In November, On The WAVE was back and hit the ground running… quite literally. We kicked off our community event with an invigorating after-work run, which ended in a relaxing evening at the Sauna Social Club. It was a perfect blend for activity and recovery, powered by our partners, Gymshark.
The event offered members a chance to sweat it out in the sauna, sip on warm tea, engage in heartfelt conversations, and for the daring among us, take a plunge into the club’s ice baths. This wasn't just any run social, it was a unique experience designed to inspire connection and radical self-care.
As winter settles in, many of us feel the weight of seasonal blues creeping in. That’s why we curated this event—to bring our OTW crew together and combat the cold with movement and companionship. Running is one of the simplest ways to boost moods and energy, and doing it as a group makes it all the more possible. Thanks to Gymshark, the team was kitted out with top gear, ensuring everyone was warm, comfortable, and ready to hit their stride.
Let’s face it: running alone can sometimes feel like a chore. But running with friends? That’s the magic formula for blending fitness, motivation, and community. Together, we pushed boundaries, supported one another, and strengthened connections that go far beyond the finish line.
As we transitioned to the Sauna Social Club to decompress and recharge. Members who tried the sauna and ice bath contrast therapy discovered its powerful benefit from improved sleep, elevated mood, boosted energy, enhanced immune function to reduced stress. Switching between hot and cold may be challenging, but the rewards are undeniable.
At OTW, we’re all about harnessing tools for personal growth and well-being, especially during the harsher seasons. The toughest part is showing up, but once you do, we’ll take care of the rest. This event was a testament to the transformative power of community—a reminder that together, we can uplift and inspire each other to feel our best, both mentally and physically!
