"What you do, your mantras and energy was just so brilliant ...
That 45 mins will stay with me for a long time." 💬
Ashley, who also 'answers the question' I'm often asked ... Is POWER for men, too?
YES.
On or off bikes, movement (at your pace) is just one element of POWER.
Mantras and energy - and more - is for everyone, regardless of how they identify.

All 72,000 energy pathways. 📸
You'll often hear me bananachat energy pathways - "reignite just one."
72,000 nadis (channels of prana/energy) convey the life force in a human being.
I'm big on energy, and I'm ALL IN - all 72,000 - for life. 💥
Two photos of my week - that capture every single one of those 72,000 - that I had no idea were being taken.
Whether it's the final bunch of a MASSIVE Easter Weekend 'on the Beach, battling Storm Dave to banging blue skies (photo one). 📸
Or it's front row at the Royal Albert Hall, living my best Jaxx life (photo two). 📸
Same 72,000 energy pathways. 💥
"The way we do one thing is the way we do all things". Also bananachat.
Bananachat: my real time words of mental strength, mantras and mindfulness - inspired by words written on bananas - spoken over a banging playlist whilst we move.
LOVE to the bunch of you who made my week the stuff of dreams.
Now it's time to recharge all 72,000 (and wash my banana socks) 'til we go again.
What. A. Week. 💛

BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT - 14 year old Jemima's first banana. 🍌
The PICKLES, rockstars of the Sunday 'Beach bunch.
Knowing bananachat - my words of mental strength, mantras and mindfulness - landed for Jemima was magic.
Perhaps it's because I would have loved the POWER space - everything it is and stands for - at 14.
Now at nearly 44, I'm 'just a girl' with a belief that bananas have the power to shift the mental health landscape.
A bananas dream, built on a shoestring, shared through word of mouth.
Yesterday I met Liz and Jane, visiting from south west London (90 minutes away).
They'd been told (at their local yoga studio in London) ...
“If you're going to Bracklesham, you’ve got to try this really cool banana bikes thing."
They didn't make the bunch, this weekend - still spontaneous, it sold out within a few hours of bookings going live.
Grateful. POWER-full. Bananas.
Also, if you’re wondering how playlist 36 landed, without the essential prep of riding a chair backwards - this was the unprompted feedback of a POWER O.G who’s listened to them all, so far.
Channeling Jemima's banana, into the week ahead. 💛

From the archive: riding a chair backwards is how I practiced POWER playlists, back in the day (2020). 📸
Hood up for extra 'immersion'.
Chest proud banana.
A glass of fizz as standard (back in the day).
That face. And that hand ... SHIFT. 💥
This week marks two years of POWER 'proper' - as a Limitless company - which has inspired a trip down memory lane, because the big bananas dream started years before things got 'proper'.
POWER, is delivered through headphones (immersive). You'll often hear me say "all that matters is the music."
It's that invitation to lose yourself in the rhythm, not the noise.
What type of music?
I love a build, a drop, a strong vocal, anything that evokes emotion, creates experience and takes the bunch on an adventure.
Any one POWER playlist can take months of building and juggling for the adventure to land.
It's so much more than a collection of tracks - it's a legit skill that takes practice.
Playlist 36 drops this weekend. And the adventure continues ... 💛

WHAT A DAY: Athena Effect '26, with the bunch. 💛
As a proud Athena Effect O.G it was a privilege to share year 3 and my table of 7 with Vicky Booker - POWER O.G, Kirsty of Siblings Skills Club - much-loved 'A3' bunch, and Wendy Reclaim Movement - rockstar POWER In Your Pocket guest.
Year on year Dame Kelly Holmes raises the bar - new features, even more panels, and breakouts - somehow it all fits into one EPIC day.
The fire, and the real, raw passion she has for using her incredible platform to give women a voice and encourage us all to take up space, be seen and feel heard, is powerful and beautifully contagious.
This year, I had the privilege of speaking on stage - sharing a bit about me and sparking bananas curiosity, in 60 seconds. 🎤
THANK YOU, Kelly, for cheering me on in the brave, empowering space you've created.
My 2026 top three:
The live recording of Why Care? Podcast with Nadia Nagamootoo.
Deb Mills-Burns and Catherine’s spoken word
Helen Spencer - Pathways To Resilience
Jane Wake always! From year one Athena “you’re the banana lady” to our friendship, our POWER with Jane Wake collaborations, and soon to be neighbours.
Next year's theme is RISE - the date for your diary is 05.03.2027. 📌

Everything you need to know. 💜
Who's in? 💥
International Women's Day, Sunday 08.03 is ten weeks til the 10km - what a day to begin POWER 'practice', in support of My Sisters' House. 📌
As one of the Bognor Prom 10k Road Race bunch, fundraising for My Sisters' House CIO you'll unlock a bunch of POWER perks to support you as you prepare to lace up at the start line, on Sunday 17th May.
Think, bunch 'practice' in-person and online, for the bunch living further afield.
As well as, first to experience POWER In Your Pocket - bananachat available when you want to shift (and 'practice').
If you're not one of the Bognor 10km bunch but would love to walk/run/move with us during POWER 'practice' - in-person or online - you're so welcome, in exchange for a donation on the POWER JustGiving page to My Sisters' House (MSH).
Why MSH, for me ... 💜
The incredible work that MSH does in making women feel seen, believed, supported and em-POWER-ed in their experiences of domestic abuse is part of my story, historically.
The national crisis they represent so brilliantly close to the Home of POWER in Chichester is one I want to support, and I would love for you to join me.
Step into your POWER. 🍌

The face on my fridge. 📌
My face of 40+ years ago has been pinned to my fridge for a few years.
She's *really* helpful.
I often 'cheers' her, and I always look to her for my next steps.
Why? Because I am her and I've always been her.
Life is 'simply' that practice of coming back to her, over and over.
I've never 'gone public' with my fridge - wild - but I had to share her and what helps me (as I do with my bananachat) when I saw Donna Ashworth's post, in my feed. 💛
It could only be my face and my fridge - surrounded by words that have also been there for a few years - bananachat inspo, everywhere.
That face knows what a full body "YES" feels like (bananachat), and she's all in for the year of the fire horse.🔥

"I want every rider to believe that what they achieve on the bike, they can achieve off the bike. In an increasingly disconnected, lonely world where crippling mental health thrives, I want every ride to ignite connection. Connection creates community, sparks energy, encourages vulnerability and has the power to achieve lasting mind and body transformation."
Elaine Hart, POWER Founder
The POWER Garage is real, it’s raw, it’s where it all began, and it’s where it all begins. The Garage was designed to be a space to test kit and rides with friends during the Winter 2019, in the build towards the intended launch of POWER-To-You - workplaces, festivals, community spaces, private hire, in Spring 2020. The Garage became Home to POWER in the Garage rides until Covid-19 hit, and the world changed beyond recognition.
I invested in the kit required to take the business online which initially went against everything I wanted POWER to be. However, I believe I've found a way that stays true to POWER values, via the online medium. The Garage then became the stage for POWER Online - live rides via Zoom. I launched POWER Online in April 2020, in a ‘bike or no bike’ format - anyone and everyone can ‘ride’ e.g. walkers, runners, gardeners. Anyone with an internet connection, headphones and an open mind is welcome - emphasising POWER to simply be the decision to put down your phone for 30 or 45 minutes and ‘ride’. The bike or no bike concept reinforces my core intention for POWER to be more than a endorphin-boosting, sweat-inducing workout, POWER is physical and mental strength, on and off the bike.
The ride connects the tribe. My vision for POWER Online is a big hearted open-minded tribe of 'riders' thriving and navigating this uncertain time together. POWER is connection. Connection is POWER.
