In fully competitive endeavors, there is nothing new under the sun. Or London fog.
It is all about strength. And assets.
Stay with your strengths. Maximize your strengths. Increase your assets.
Minimize your weaknesses.
It is a powerful thought, especially for female athletes and submission wrestlers.
In your wrestling life, stay strong, increase your strengths.
Sometimes inspiration can help. Let’s stay in England.
Saraya-Jade Bevis is an English professional wrestler and occasional vocalist.
Sounds sweet.
She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where she performs mononymously as Saraya.
She is currently the leader of The Outcasts and is a former one-time AEW Women's World Champion. She is also known for her time with WWE under the ring name Paige.
Drum roll please.
She was the youngest female champion in WWE history, a two-time WWE Divas Champion, and the inaugural NXT Women's Champion. She also remains the only woman to hold both a WWE and NXT Women's Championship simultaneously.
Talk about strengths and it began when she was so young. Are you at least a little inspired?
Here is how it all began.
In 2005, at the age of 13, Saraya made her debut under the ring name Britani Knight for her family's World Association of Wrestling (WAW) promotion.
She went on to hold several championships on the European independent circuit. After talent scouting in England, WWE signed Bevis in 2011 and she began wrestling in its developmental systems, debuting in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2012 and later going on a winning streak in NXT.
She made her surprise debut on the main roster in 2014 and immediately won the Divas Championship, making her the youngest Divas Champion at the age of 21.
Extremely impressive.
When you maximize your strengths and assets in that way, guess what? You get to be on TV.
In 2012, Channel 4 produced a documentary about Bevis and her family called The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, which was later adapted into the biographical sports comedy-drama film Fighting with My Family (2019).
Did you watch it? It was fun.
It depicts the career of English professional wrestler Paige as she makes her way to WWE, while also following her brother Zak Zodiac, as he struggles with his failure to achieve similar success. Florence Pugh and Jack Lowden star as Paige and Zodiac respectively, alongside Lena Headey, Nick Frost, Vince Vaughn, and Dwayne Johnson, with the latter also acting as producer.
Talk about strength. You know you are a strong female wrestler with The Rock on your team.
What about you?
Are you on a team that can maximize your fitness strengths?

REP Fitness Issues Challenge to "Pursue Your Strength" in First Brand Campaign

World-Class Equipment Manufacturer Builds on Global Expansion, New Product Introductions with Emotional Call to Fitness Enthusiasts
Stories of Strength Shared by the Community Will Result in a $10,000 Home Gym Makeover
DENVER, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More than a decade after its founding, REP Fitness is bringing its powerful story to life. The company – renowned for its innovative, high-quality gym equipment – today introduces its first brand campaign, celebrating the same hard-fought journey of physical fitness and personal growth that inspired its co-founders to build the company in 2012.
Titled "Pursue Your Strength," the global campaign opens with a centerpiece video connecting the investment of sweat, focus and energy in the gym to the scientific axiom of every action having an equal and opposite reaction. The video showcases powerful workout movements executed with REP's class-leading home gym equipment, bathed in dramatic colors of red and blue, and an emotional voiceover detailing both the arduous work and rewarding payoff that defines every personal fitness journey.
"Strength and fitness are often described in the physical sense, but ultimately they're a result of an inner commitment," said Ryan McGrotty, co-CEO of REP. "There's a fire inside that drives us to turn the gym lights on in the morning, to add a plate to the barbell, to push for one more rep. At REP, we want to help others realize that that true strength is the freedom to choose. It unlocks more options in life, empowering us to conquer goals in and out of the gym, and to pursue intentional growth."
REP has grown from a 1,200-sq. ft. retail storefront outside of Denver to a global powerhouse in just 12 years, now employing more than 200 employees with operations in four continents, all behind the core principles of innovation, customer service and value.
The "Pursue Your Strength" campaign marries the company's roll-up-your-sleeves roots with its ambitions as an industry leader to empower and inspire fitness enthusiasts around the world. While the centerpiece video lays the gauntlet, it also kicks off a nationwide call to share personal stories of pursuing physical and mental strength.
Beginning today and through Nov. 22, 2024, fitness enthusiasts can go to the landing page to share a personal story, or story of an acquaintance, and be qualified to win a home gym makeover courtesy of REP Fitness, valued at $10,000. REP expects these stories to surface powerful, inspiring and emotional stories of how physical strength unlocked personal growth – perhaps even through the most difficult of life's challenges. A winning entry will be selected in early December 2024.
"Strength is a powerful tool, and this campaign invites everyone to use it," said Lauren LeJeune, brand director of REP. "We are fortunate at REP to have heard so many stories of fitness helping to overcome personal obstacles. We believe in empowering lives, one story of strength at a time, and this campaign creates a platform to do just that."
Helping to cast a broad spotlight on these stories of strength will be celebrated personalities like fitness trainer Claire Thomas, CrossFit athletes Brent Finkowski and Amanda Barnhart and Super Bowl-winning football player George Karlaftis – all of whom will share their own Pursue Your Strength stories across social platforms, reaching millions of people who are looking to turn their own stories into action.
REP is also introducing functional tools to inspire action, including the Ares™ 2.0, a compact power rack and cable attachment that delivers unmatched versatility to anyone looking to pursue their own strength. The functional trainer supports unilateral and bilateral training, as well as simultaneous dual-athlete workouts – making it perfect for both home and commercial use.
