Last month, our Sweaty Betty team hosted its inaugural Rule the Run race, where runners could explore and move on their own terms. No set route. No fixed pace. Just freedom, choice, and feel-good energy.

As the brand so beautifully stated throughout the event: "Sweat doesn't need permission, and your personal best belongs to you."

Congratulations to the team on this successful event and for continuing to empower women through fitness and beyond. Let's go!

This week, we kicked off Pride Month with celebrations led by our PRIDE Employee Resource Group (ERG).

In years past, this moment was marked by raising the Pride flag at our global headquarters. Now that the flag flies year-round, our focus has deepened to center on what it truly represents.

This year’s kickoff offered an opportunity to reflect on and honor the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ+ community, while reaffirming our commitment to visibility, inclusion, and belonging. Inclusivity isn’t just a moment. It is woven into our WOLVER1NE culture and reflected in how we show up for one another every day.

More than ever, we remain committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
