Our Origin Story

Who We Serve

  • The Modern Athlete

    You work hard and play hard. Performance is important to you and so is having something that gives you the leading edge to your friends.

  • Endurance Enthusiasts

    “It’s not worth the effort if I’m not out there for more than a couple of hours”. You love the grind and you’re in it for the journey.

  • The Healthy Indulger

    Conscious that a peaceful life is about balance, you take the time to look after yourself: mind, body, and soul.

  • Active Families

    If you aren’t attending one of your kids’ events, then your family unit is likely up in the hills biking, hiking, or skiing, and you sure know a happy family is a fuelled family.

Oh, and fuelling her everyday marathoning efforts with chocolate!
