The Development Society
Physical movement & mental health. That's what we deal in.
Our goal is simple; to help people create a better life for themselves and for those around them. Built on the ethos of creating a callused mind and a stoic approach to the difficult situations in life. The pursuit of excellence is never-ending. If you want to get better alongside likeminded people, you’re in the right place.
In short, DEVSOC is a community who want to be better than we were yesterday. We encourage wholesome physical education and mental preparation for the tough times ahead.

Stay Humble: Treat all as equals. Have time for everyone, especially when they can’t help you.

Self-betterment
“We learn not in school, but in life” – Seneca
A mantra that we truly believe; if we are never challenged, how can we grow? Just because we have left school does not mean we have finished bettering ourselves. A core element of our work is the pursuit of virtuosity. We grow and develop by exposing ourselves to things we are not comfortable with. If you want to grow, this is the place for you.

Solid team, mindset and view. If you get fortunate enough to be apart of the limited batches, feel lucky. But don’t get it wrong, you’ve got a question, held to a higher standard, or need a reminder to be better, they’ll post a reminder, show you that high standard, and humble enough to give you an answer to help your growth. Tribe and Philosophy.

Like most people, 2020 has been a dumpster fire. I’ve struggled with my own mentality and mental health for a few years before this but not even halfway in, the camels back was broken. DEVSOC was a group I’d followed ages back but call it fate or a coincidence, when I decided I needed to turn things around and help myself become better, these guys had me covered. Their Instagram is full of the kind of positive motivation with betterment at its core that you almost never see other companies go for, at least for free.
