Today we’d like to introduce you to Chrissy Stragisher and Trisha Lindsey. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Chrissy Stragisher and Trisha Lindsey have over 15 years combined in the fitness industry. Chrissy worked in the WNBA as a strength and conditioning coach while Trisha learned how to perfect the client experience working in boutique gyms.
They saw women in their lives struggling to fit in and find their tribe. They both experienced what it was like to move to a new city and have to make new friends all over again – Chrissy is from Ohio and Trish is from Japan so they relate to the droves of women who have moved here in the past few years.
Thus they decided to create a girl gang of badass women who do badass things.
Both know how to inspire and motivate women to check things off their bucket list. They both love adventure and seek it out on a regular basis.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been difficult to make friends in San Antonio even after being here for such a long time. Chrissy’s been here over 10 years and Trisha over 5 so it’s been frustrating that we hadn’t found the right people yet.
We like to say that we have friends but not adventure friends and we’ve found that’s the case for a lot of women. Many of their friends or co-workers are up for Happy Hours and brunch but not hiking or kayaking.
Creating our company was a way to bring like-minded women together so we all can say that we finally found our adventure friends.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Strags Adventure Club?
Strags Adventure Club helps women build confidence, determination, steadfastness through women-only adventure trips. We provide a transformational experience for your body, mind and spirit.
Strags Adventure Club curates excursions for badass women who do badass things. Our Girl Gang breaks boundaries by challenging stereotypes about women and their capabilities. Examples of our excursions include paintball, kayaking, obstacle courses, axe throwing and the likes.
As a result of achieving more than one thought possible, growth in self-esteem and self-confidence typically occur.
Because we are intent on being vulnerable and presenting our authentic selves, all of our activities exclude the use of alcohol.
Anyone who identifies as a female 18 or older is invited to our events. You don’t have to be a member to attend but we do offer discounted rates on events, merchandise and an online community for those who want to go deeper and become a Gold Girl Gang Member.
We host free hikes the last Sunday of every month at Eisenhower Park.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
We encourage our women to get outside of their comfort zone and talk to women they don’t know at our events. Everyone there is coming to connect and make new friends so we remind them of that. We also provide a place for women to lift one another up. We’re truly only looking for women who are down to support other women. It’s easier to be vulnerable and transparent in a non-judgmental space.
Pricing:
- Monthly Membership – $39/month
- Event pricing ranges from $50-$99
- Free hike every last Sunday of the Month
