Few athletes embody the spirit of "For Your Stronger Tomorrow" quite like Gwen Jorgensen. A two-time World Triathlon Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Gwen's story is one of unwavering dedication, inspiring resilience, and a remarkable comeback – all while embracing motherhood. This collaboration between Major Fitness and Gwen Jorgensen goes beyond a typical athlete endorsement. It's a celebration of defying expectations, prioritizing family, and achieving greatness at any stage of life.
At 37 years old and a mother of two young boys, Gwen's story takes on a new dimension. In 2022, after a seven-year hiatus from professional triathlon competition, Gwen announced her remarkable comeback, setting her sights on the 2024 Paris Olympics. This wasn't just a return to competition; it was a declaration of her unwavering commitment to her athletic dreams, even amidst the joys and responsibilities of motherhood.
From World Champion to Mom: Gwen's Inspiring Journey
Gwen's path to Olympic glory was paved with years of relentless training and unwavering dedication. Her 2014 and 2015 World Championship victories solidified her position as a dominant force in triathlon. Yet, in 2016, after her triumphant gold medal win in Rio, Gwen made a bold decision – to step away from the sport and embrace the journey of motherhood. Stanley arrived in August 2017, followed by George in October 2022.
"Being a mom and a professional athlete is something that when I quit Triathlon back in 2016, I didn't think was possible." Gwen says. "I'm very thankful that there have been so many strong women before me who showed me that it is possible to be a mom and an athlete."
The fire, however, never truly subsided. In 2022, the world watched in awe as Gwen announced her return to triathlon. This comeback wasn't just about reclaiming past glory; it was about inspiring others, particularly mothers, to pursue their dreams without sacrificing their families.

Gwen's comeback journey resonates deeply with anyone who has ever faced a setback, nurtured a dream, and strived for a stronger tomorrow.
The Major Fitness Lightning F35: Enabling Gwen's Dreams
Balancing the demands of professional athletics with the responsibilities of motherhood requires a special kind of support system. Enter the Major Fitness Lightning F35, a state-of-the-art home gym that provides Gwen with the training environment she needs to excel.
"I think at a little after 4 weeks postpartum the first few races were hard." Gwen recalls. "I wasn't getting a lot of sleep and I was breastfeeding."
Despite the challenges, Gwen's commitment never wavered. "He [George] was born last year and after giving birth to him at about 3 months postpartum I started back on my journey into Tron postpartum, you're not supposed to run until 12 weeks." Gwen explains. "I got clearance at 6 weeks but it started with... you know like a 2-minute run, 5-minute walk."
The Major Fitness Lightning F35 played a crucial role in Gwen's comeback. "The gym is something that I didn't have a lot of joy in and so what I did to be able to make that more enjoyable was make a home gym at home and something that's been really crucial this year is I got major Fitness lightning F35 in our downstairs home gym and it's just been able to be a game changer for me." Gwen says. "I'm able to train at home which allows me to spend more time with my family, more time with my boys and as well as allows me to safely lift correctly which helps me gain strength and keeps me injury free."
Beyond Training: Family Bonding
The Major Fitness Lightning F35 isn't just about Gwen's training; it's become a space that fosters a love for fitness within her family. Gwen shares, "Sometimes George comes in and plays around. Usually Stanley's at school, but sometimes he as well likes to join and lift some weights and see how much he can lift." This playful interaction between Gwen and her sons highlights the Lightning F35's ability to transcend a typical home gym and become a space where the family can connect through fitness.
"I think it's really exciting to be able to instill a family culture of being healthy and lifelong skills that will really keep us, hopefully, living a very healthy life." By incorporating fitness into their daily lives, Gwen hopes to plant the seeds for a healthy lifestyle in her children, fostering a love for exercise that will benefit them well into the future.
This aspect of Gwen's story resonates deeply with parents who struggle to balance their own fitness goals with the demands of family life.
