About the founder
Hi my name is Maria Sartin. I am a New Zealander that grew up in Aotearoa and have always had a passion for fitness and helping others!
For most of my life I have ran track and played sport- winning national medals and competing Internationally. Having big dreams and striving for greatness has always excited me! However many, there were many times in which I let others and my false beliefs contain me.
Naturally, I was always one of the more muscular girls. I was told that to become a better athlete I would need to change my body and become thinner and lighter- For a long time I believed this and it contained me from my potential.
Because of this false belief, I did everything I could to loose weight and it worked! I did get faster- but not for long...
After a while I lost all my muscle, suffered with disordered eating, RED-S energy deficiency, injuries and decreased performance.
No matter how thin I got, I was never enough and just got worse. It wasn’t until I was at my lowest point that I decided I had enough. Never would I fuel the negative voice in my head again and instead fuel my mind, body and soul.
Through this I learnt that embracing who you are and your body are two of the most important things you can do!
Starting Uncontainable, I wanted it to be more than a brand. Instead, a movement unites women and makes them stronger. Not only does Uncontainable provide women with stylish, comfortable active wear but makes women aware that the only limits that exist are in our minds. When we are Uncontained of our limits, anything is possible!
We are strong, we are fearless and we are UNCONTAINABLE
