👋👋. Say hello to my client Hannah Briercliffe

🍺 The pint-sized Pure Grit Powerhouse who’s yeeting 80kg deadlifts like it’s just her morning coffee run! 💪

💪🏻 Rocking a double-overhand grip, on our Cerberus deadlift bar which has knurling that’ll perform an involuntary dermabrasion on the toughest of hands .

❌ No straps, only a slight shrug/ hitch 😉

👉🏼 I’m only stating that because I’m sure the keyboard warriors would point it out without knowing anything about Hannah’s body / movements etc ) 🥱

😜 But also because, Hannah herself says she’s a “Wonky Donkey” 🫏

⚖️ Weighing in at 55kg bodyweight & in her 40s … This gal’s basically defying gravity with pure, unfiltered grit.

🕰️ Three years back, Hannah was waging war with her stairs at home, climbing them was her Everest, and picking stuff off the floor? Forget it. **temobility

🗣️ Yet…. In 3 years of working together , communicating, showing up.. putting the work in.. here she is! 💪🏻

Oh and not to brag or anything… BUT 😈

🏆 Hannah competed at Westcountry’s Strongest in May, alongside her long suffering husband Rich 🤣 and hosted by PURE GRIT

This is where she won 1st place in the Farmers Hold as if she was just holding two bags of shopping each side filled with wine! 🍷

🧡 Hannah’s out here proving that with enough passion, perseverance, and maybe a sprinkle of stubbornness, you can turn “I can’t” into “Watch me!”

Keep Lifting Heavy S*** Hannah Banana! 💪🏻

💥 John Strange | British Powerlifting Championships 2025 💥
Category: Masters 1, Single Ply, Under 140kg
Federation: ABPU

Sunday 27th July, Pure Grit’s very own Doc Strange stepped onto the platform at the British Powerlifting Championships in Manchester — and didn’t just lift…
He rewrote reality.

🏆 British M1 Bench Record
🔹 187.5kg – no magic spells used, just raw power (and maybe a little eye of Agamotto focus).

🌍 World M1 Deadlift Record
🔹 277.5kg – pulled so hard the bar briefly considered another dimension.

🔥 World M1 Total Record
🔹 750kg Total – just 10kg shy of his all-time best, and that’s post-bicep injury.

Lifts on the day:
⚫ Squat – 285kg
⚫ Bench – 187.5kg (British Record)
⚫ Deadlift – 277.5kg (World Record)

This total wasn’t just strong – it was world-class. Even Thanos would think twice before challenging him. And remember — he’s still in comeback mode after a major injury. That’s resilience, pure grit, and a touch of multiverse-level stubbornness.

And he’s not done yet. Plans are already in motion for one more meet this year — either BPU Stroud Qualifier or WRPF Nationals in November. Reality itself isn’t safe.

Let’s hear it for John Strange — The Strongest Sorcerer in the Single Ply Multiverse who moans like a bitch when a callus is torn 😜

🔥CAERPHILLY’S STRONGEST WOMAN 2025 🔥

Let me tell you about our girl Cathy.

Six months ago, she walked into Pure Grit Strength & Fitness with her trademark sense of humour, a no-nonsense attitude, and a quiet determination that said, “Move over love, I’ve got dumbbells to lift and records to break.”

Fast forward to now?
🥇 1st Place in her first Strong Woman comp “Strongest Woman In The Shire”

🥉 3rd Place at “Westcountrys Strongest”
Hosted by me at PURE GRIT
And this weekend?

SHE ONLY WENT AND TOOK 1st Place 🥇 in the Open Category at Caerphilly’s Strongest Woman 2025!

💪🏻 That’s not just strong. That’s “I can lift your car while telling you a dirty joke” strong.
💕 Cathy is the kind of woman who’ll squat the weight of your self-doubt and deadlift your excuses clean off the gym floor.

And let’s get one thing straight: ‼️
Being a bigger woman doesn’t mean you’re less. It means there’s MORE of you to be powerful, to be capable, to be brilliant, and to throw a flipping atlas stone like it’s a beach ball.

😈 Cathy is proof that strength comes in all sizes, that determination isn’t measured in waistbands, and that women who belly laugh between sets are the strongest of us all.

💕 We bloody love you, Cathy. You are Pure Grit through and through – bold, brave, unapologetic, and built for greatness. 💪🔥💃

⚠️WARNING NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WITH A DELICATE DISPOSITION, OR UNDER 18s ⚠️

😈😈😈 NO F**KS GIVEN CLUB😈😈😈

🔥 NON-COMPLIANT: The NFG Club Monthly Meet-Up 🔥
For Peri/Menopausal & Neurospicy Women Who’ve Had Enough & are struggling with mental overload.🤯

🔥Feeling like you’re one hot flash away from fu**ing off on a permanent holiday with no mental load?

🧠 Got 17 tabs open in your brain and none of them make sense?
📈Staring at a spreadsheet of your weekly schedule , appointments, kids activities, full time work or stay at home parent wondering who the hell you are anymore and ready to lose your s***

Welcome to the club. Literally.

🖕🏻This is The NFG Club (No F**ks Given, obviously).
It’s a monthly support group for women dealing with:

✨ Perimenopause
✨ Menopause
✨ Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, Sensory overload, all the flavours)
✨ Rage, brain fog, wild crying, sudden karaoke urges…
✨ Women who feel alone , whether through work or who only interact with babies all day and need adult conversation.
✨No matter your background, age, job, social status, you can be who you want to be at this NFG Club!

💕What it is:
A safe, no-judgement space to vent, laugh, cry, swear, and share the real, raw, ridiculous stuff. A safe confidential space where we all respect each other. Banter is fine, but anything deemed hurtful /judgemental/ racist etc .. (you get the idea) is not acceptable and you will be asked to leave .
Every story /struggle is valid.. because everyone is different. Even if it seems insignificant to your own issues, it’s not!

🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m Zowie Trevena , 43, on HRT , just diagnosed with ADHD & owner of PureGrit Strength & Fitness & ill be starting this support group of an evening for women that errrmmm need to to be a bit more expressive.. and have no filter!
I own a gym but I’ve lost myself! No motivation, no umph, no passion .. I know Im not alone.

☺️ We’re lucky to already have the awesome Menopause cafe (check out the page) that my fabulous friend Liz Denbury runs at The Pour House in Devizes, St.John's St, Devizes SN10 1BN
This is monthly on a Saturday morning

This get together is for those whom are RAW , SWEARY , 🤬 can’t get away with ranting at 10am or you’ll be arrested 🤣.

I’ll be setting up a Private Facebook Grouo for everyone that’s interested. You don’t have to come to the meet ups to join the grouo, and you can post anonymously if you’re wishing to keep things private.

🗓 When: End of each month Fri/Sat/Sun
(Ill do a poll in the group to see what date is popular )

🕖 Time: TBC But after 6pm

📍Where: Pure Grit Strength & Fitness
Unit 4 Bath Road Business Centre, Devizes SN101XA 07496152094 (WhatsApp)

💰Cost: FREE (because therapy is expensive and wine isn’t always enough)

What it isn’t:‼️
Therapy. Coaching. Or anything that involves homework. I’m not qualified—I’m just living it too.. I’m raw, unfiltered but respectful, I’ll say it as it is! I’m also struggling !

We’ll have:
• Hot & Cold drinks, (I’ll supply), if you want cake.. please bring it with you. Wine if you’re not driving (bring your own ) and I’ll supply solidarity / banter between us women fighting to be listened to
• Fans & air con supplied the cooling kind)
• A “Hormonal Bitch “ corner aka punch bag & bit of paper to write down your stress/ issues and chuck it in the F**K it Bucket.. yes this will be a thing!
• Open convo for connection, not solutions.

‼️CONFIDENTIALITY IS A MUST! ‼️

Come as you are: exhausted, angry, oversharing, or wearing your bra on inside out (we’ve all done it). Or keys in the microwave. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Please WhatsApp me to book, I don’t care if there’s 1 person or 30!

Come and join me because I need to bloody find fellow crazies

RAGE AGAINST THE ESTROGEN MACHINE Hot Flashes & Heavy Weights: How to Outsmart Your Goblin Hormones (One LIFT at a Time)...
02/07/2025

RAGE AGAINST THE ESTROGEN MACHINE

Hot Flashes & Heavy Weights: How to Outsmart Your Goblin Hormones (One LIFT at a Time) 👺

▪️ Ah, menopause and perimenopause. That magical time in life when your hormones go rogue, your joints creak like an old pirate ship, 🏴‍☠️and suddenly you can’t tell if you’re crying, sweating, or both. 🥵

▪️Your hormones pack their bags, 💼
leave the building, and take your bone density with them. 🦴
Estrogen, once your loyal sidekick in keeping bones strong, suddenly ghosts 👻you harder than your ex after a yoga retreat. 🧘🏻‍♀️
Welcome to the hormonal Hunger Games. 🍴🍌🍔🍆😈🤣

▪️ But fear not!
There is a hero in this story 🦸‍♀️
and no, it’s not collagen powder or a 🍷wine subscription (though those have their place). …
💪🏻 It’s strength training. Yep, lifting weights. WHICH WILL NOT MAKE YOU BULKY 🤦🏻‍♀️

What’s the deal with hormones and bones?

▪️During peri/menopause, your estrogen levels drop faster than your patience during a hot flash. 🔥
💕Estrogen plays a key role in keeping bones dense and strong, so when it disappears, your bones can become thinner, weaker, and more prone to fractures—also known as osteoporosis, or “when your skeleton gets passive-aggressive.” ☠️

💪🏻 When you lift weights, you’re giving your bones a reason to stay strong and rebuild. You’re saying:
❌” Not today, brittle hips.”
❌ Not on my watch, sneaky spine shrinkage.”
❌ I see you, menopause—and I brought dumbbells.”

Real Talk from Zowie at Pure Grit Strength & Fitness

🤔If this sounds overwhelming, confusing, or like something only people named “Chad” do at 6am, don’t worry. That’s where I come in.

🤘🏻 I’m Zowie. Hormonal? Check. ADHD? Oh, absolutely. Slightly feral sister energy with a gym and a passion for keeping women strong? You bet your magnesium supplements I am. 🙌🏻

👺 I’m navigating the same goblin hormone rollercoaster you are—and I’ve built Pure Grit Strength & Fitness to help women like us take back control, one achievement at a time.

So if you’re tired of feeling like a melting candle 🕯️ with anxiety, let’s chat. Don’t let that candle burn 🔥 out!

Book a consultation with me at Pure Grit Strength & Fitness.

Let’s lift heavy. Let’s build bone. Let’s rage against the estrogen machine—together.

Because strong is the new survival strategy.
And osteoporosis? We don’t know her. 💪

CONSULTATIONS ARE FREE:

No obligation , just a slightly Feral Psycho Sister ready to listen!

🏋️‍♂️ OFF-PEAK, ON POINT! 🏋️‍♀️

💪 Just £22.50/month

🕕 Mon–Fri | 6AM–3PM

🧒 Kids allowed — as long as you’re watching them. We’re a gym, not a babysitting service (or a jungle gym).

Let’s face it:
Peak hours are for people who enjoy a bit of noise, and mysterious puddles on the bench.

But you? You’re smarter than that.
You know the real gains happen before the crowds roll in — when the gym smells like potential, not protein shakes and regret.

💪🏻 Join the off-peak crew – the early birds, the stress-dodgers, the parents escaping before Peppa Pig comes on.

Here’s what you get:
✔️ Quiet gym
✔️ Available machines
✔️ Fewer grunters
✔️ Maybe even time for a guilt-free post-workout scroll

💡 Bonus: You can bring the kids (supervised, please — no dumbbell sword fights).

✨ Sign up today. Get fit. .
Peak performance doesn’t need peak
hours.

25/06/2025

⚠️ ⚠️⚠️ ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️
LONG POST INCOMING

🧡 I’VE LOST MYSELF 🧡

▪️Lately… Well the past 2 years , I’ve felt like a stranger in my own life.
I’m an independent gym owner in Devizes.
Also an independent, stubborn woman who doesn’t ask for help .

▪️I didn’t grow up in Devizes— but I am a woman who built a space with sweat, grit, and heart.

▪️Pure Grit started in my garage in 2016, progressing onwards to now being in my 3rd facility as of 2025

▪️I used to love what I do. Creating programs, empowering others, bringing something different to Devizes , being in the energy of movement and strength. It fueled me. 🔥

▪️But somewhere along the way, I lost myself. The pandemic didn’t help

❌The ambition? Gone.
❌The drive? Missing.
❌Creativity? Completely flatlined.

▪️Every day I wake up and feel this crushing weight of responsibilities. Bills to pay, staff to manage, classes to plan, people expecting energy I no longer have. It’s not just exhaustion — it’s like I’m constantly on the verge of shutting down.

▪️Over the past 2 years ive suffered countless physical operations, tragedies, trauma . I’ve moved house twice, (difficult with 2 dogs)
Both my children have moved out, I’ve spent 12 mths searching for new gym premises. The mental load of hunting for properties, the admin required plus legal issues has been overwhelming.

😔 I’ve lost so many clients. I drowned myself in alcohol to try cope , numb the noise in my head… wtf has happened to me? I used to be on top of everything! I used to be physically strong, top of my game in Strongwoman comps & Powerlifting. A champion, … but.. I am no longer anything.

📈 My Business has slowed. I’m financially struggling. I’ve stopped creating, stopped pushing, stopped showing up the way I used to — because most days, I just don’t have the energy. Not physical tiredness… soul-deep exhaustion. I always first

▪️It’s like I’m watching everything I built slowly slip through my fingers, and I don’t know how to stop it.

▪️ I’ve had people who’ve meant a lot to me pass over to the other side. Far too many over the years , but some affect you more than others.

💕 Recently, It was confirmed that I was peri-menopausal, (medically induced)
Because of this , my current declining estrogen levels has amplified my symptoms that’s caused by lack of dopamine, which is already affected in ADHD.

This has thankfully lead to an official diagnosis of ADHD.

▪️I feel like a teenager , unable to control my emotions, rages, intrusive thoughts , anxiety, etc.. I’m 43 years old.. ffs! Yet I’m out of control!

🚂 Both have hit me like a freight train. The brain fog, emotional rollercoasters, overwhelm — it’s been next-level. I’m now on ADHD meds, antidepressants, and HRT. It helps, but it’s still a fight every day.

😱And the truth? I’m scared.
Scared of losing everything I’ve worked so hard for.

⏰ 10 years of going against the grain, being different , having imposter syndrome despite my achievements,
coaching what I’m passionate about instead of copying others. Narrowing my demographic/ profits because of what I BELIEVE IN!

💵Im Scared of going bankrupt. (Sole Trader)
Im Scared that I’ve let this slip too far to come back from.
I’m Scared that people think I’ve failed — and some days, I believe that too.

🧡 There are moments I don’t want to be here. Not because I want to go… — but because I’m exhausted by the weight of everything. I want the noise to stop.
18 different radio stations chattering in my head.. I want the pressure to let up. I want to feel like me again… whoever that is now.

💪🏻 But I’m still here. Still breathing. Still trying — in whatever small, broken way I can.

💵 Because I’ll be F**KING DAMNED that some t**t with s**t loads of money will swoop in and take over what I’ve built!
So there’s still some part of the old stubborn Zow there..

🥰If you’re in this place too — overwhelmed, lost, scared — I see you. I am you.

This post doesn’t have a neat ending or a motivational quote.
Just honesty. And maybe a reminder that you’re not the only one hanging on by a thread.

You’re not weak.
You’re not a failure.
You’re not alone.

One breath at a time. 🤍

▪️— A woman standing in the wreckage and the throes of perimenopause ,emotional vulnerability, prone to outbursts but still hoping to rebuild & bring her passion , her hard work back to life again!

▪️ I’ve spent hours writing & re-writing this, spilling my guts, being truthful and upfront , it’s taken a lot to be honest publicly.. but by showing vulnerability and opening myself to judgment…

▪️ I wasn’t sure if leaving my business details was appropriate.. but F**K IT..
I’ll might as well leave you a way to contact me..

No sales pitch.. but hear to listen & coach you if you resonate with my ethos x

No lies, no filters. RAW & VULNERABLE
