The trio takes turns leading each other in practice. Their friendship began at a local gym, when they found they had a shared experience of enjoying the sweat, but they lacked the focus and fulfillment within the confines of a building. “We were all looking for something more, but didn’t quite know how to explain it,” says Olivia. They walked the beach trying to find the words for what their workout lacked, and it hit them all at once as they looked out to the horizon. “It’s like the sunset was there just for us that night, letting us know we were already in the right place,” shares Ali.

Reconnecting with each other in new ways and finding meaning in each sunset continues to drive the group of friends in their search for a fully lived life. “It’s not about setting and forgetting,” Sarah says in regard to her routine.

“It’s about making sure I constantly feel like I’m growing. I couldn’t do that without the extra hits of energy that my friends – and my hydration – give me.”
