How it Started
Force Mentale: Do Good, Feel GoodForce Mentale was founded in 2022 after I had a breakthrough seizure after 12 years, which caused me to lose my job. It was a very tough time, and the gym became my only source of sanity. It was my safe space. I started working in the gym, exercising every day, sometimes even twice a day. I lived and breathed the gym and realised the significant mental impact it had on me. I wanted to share this with others, so I decided to create a gym wear brand. My goal was not only to encourage fitness and well-being, but also to support mental health by donating a percentage of profits to charity.
One day, while sitting in Costa just before my work shift, I doodled on my hand, and that became my logo. I spiraled from there, experiencing many ups and downs and learning many lessons along the way but I’m proud to have built Force Mentale from the ground up. My goal is to inspire others to find strength through fitness, as I did, and to raise awareness about the powerful connection between exercise and mental well-being.
