The ability to move is never guaranteed.
An endurance club built on that idea. The coaching, the sessions, and the clothing all come back to it.
This is Jonny, Ogging founder.
It started in 2020, in lockdown, with a group of friends who missed training together. Most of us were former or current professional athletes, and what we missed wasn't the structure — it was the environment that disappears when school sport and competition end. The film Anchorman was everywhere that year, and one line stuck: jogging… or yogging… maybe with a soft J. We dropped the Y. The name stuck. In 2021 that group entered the Margaret River Ultra as a relay and broke the course record.
Alongside it I was racing professional triathlon and coaching a few people on the side. The side project kept growing.
Then, on the morning of the IRONMAN Oceania 70.3 Championships in Busselton, everything changed. Months in hospital. 19 surgeries. An ongoing fight to save my leg. The doctors told me I might lose it, maybe even my life. The focus shifted from podiums to something far more fundamental: learning how to walk again.
That process is still ongoing. I'm no longer chasing marginal gains or race results — I'm fighting for function, independence, and the simple ability to participate. One truth came out of it, and it's the reason this company exists: movement is a privilege. Choosing to train, to push into discomfort, to work toward something — these are opportunities not everyone gets.
Ogging is what was built on the way back. Today it's a club. Sixteen coaches, athletes across Australia coached one-on-one, four sessions a week in Perth where the Thursday track crowd runs the same set at three levels and nobody gets left behind.
The clothing came from the same place. We didn't set out to make it — we set out to train. But the hours around the session have no uniform, and what existed was race kit that felt absurd in a cafe, or streetwear made by people who have never run a threshold session. So we made what was missing. If it doesn't survive a Perth winter of 5:30am starts, it doesn't get made.
The work is serious. The people aren't precious about it. Take the work seriously, not yourself.
