ELISE GOLANOWSKI — STRENGTH AWARD 2026

The Strength Award of the 'Power, Strength & Soul' program goes to the woman who demonstrated the most inner strength, combined with physical gains, consistency, and performance.

This year, that's Elise Golanowski. 🏆

In 8 weeks, Elise shed 12 lbs and simultaneously achieved strength gains across 8 major lifts including:

-> Single-arm row up +12.5 lbs
-> DB chest press up +7.5 lbs
-> Deadlift +25 lbs
-> Hip thrust up +15 lbs

But what makes Elise's story powerful is less about the numbers, and more about what she discovered along the way.

Elise showed up through work pressure, single-parenting, travel, low motivation, and self-doubt.

With a striver's mindset, she's no stranger to hard work, sacrifice, or over-riding her needs to accomplish the task.

In this PSS, she opened to a new way of being, exchanging perfection for consistency, and embracing a gentler (and completely new) strategy for midlife training.

Such a deviance from her default pattern to work harder, this shift was uncomfortable and scary. But she did it, and reaped the rewards in more ways than one!

"I leave this challenge stronger, more resilient, and with a greater appreciation for consistency over perfection."

Elise, congratulations on all the ways you showed up! You are an inspiration to us all. 🤍

TRACY OSAKA — P.S.S. POWER AWARD 2026

The Power Award of the 'Power, Strength & Soul' acknowledges inside-out transformation.

This year, that was Tracy Osaka. 🏆

This wasn't Tracy's first, nor even second PSS. Tracy, is a seasoned PSS'er who joins every year to reset and reach a new level, whether physically, emotionally or mentally.

Physically, Tracy's in great shape with little body fat, so her focus was less on weight loss and more on cultivating a healthier relationship with exercise and nutrition.

Having said that, she did shed a few pounds. Body composition shifted so summer clothes are fitting better. She dropped 3cm hips and 5cm waist, but entirely on sustainable, compassionate habits.

Real results were achieved without rigidity, strict rules, punishing workouts, extreme diets, shame or guilt of the past.

Tracy chose rest over past patterns of over-effort, and self-compassion over past patterns of perfectionism and competition.

She learned to indulge without guilt or self-sabotage, and to move, eat, and rest free of perfectionist requirements. And somewhere along the way, she stopped needing PSS as permission to prioritize her self-care, because it became simply who she is and how people started to know her. And that, she says, was the most special part.

"I have become a woman who prioritizes her health and wellbeing through movement and nutrition, to show up as my best self. This is also how others see me. That realization is so special."

Tracy, it was an honour to witness your continued growth, confidence, and embodiment. 🤍
