ANNOUNCEMENT: As of 12/02/21, we will no longer be selling DEVSOC Merch via our website constantly. The website will open again with new items at a later date (TBC) for a limited time period. To ensure you don't miss out, sign up to the Daily Waves Newsletter at the bottom of this page. (Longum Iter Est items are exempt and will be available).
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.
DEVSOC Philosophies
1% Daily Marginal Gains: Every. Single. Day.
Get Humbled: Phys so hard, you’re truly humbled afterward.
Be Proactive: Ain’t no time like the present. Harden your body and mind today, whilst you can.
Stay Wavy: Don’t take it too seriously. It’s all a game; play it well.
Be A Stoic: If you don’t know what Stoicism is, we’ll teach you.
Be An Enabler: Don’t be a disabler.
Stay Humble: Treat all as equals. Have time for everyone, especially when they can’t help you.
No Buy-In: That’s not what we’re about. Stay, get involved, and embrace the community without pressure to buy, subscribe, or do anything you don’t want to. Just ride the wave.
The Journey Is Long: Fuck, it’s a long one. Let’s ride it together. We got this.

About us
A little about what we believe in.
HIGH QUALITY
We don’t settle for second-best
DEVSOC only ships items that we are 100% happy with. Shortcuts are not an option. Fanatical attention to detail, unrivalled customer service, and a strong moral compass is what guides us. We take our time, but we do it properly – “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. We are humans, but if we make a mistake, it will be made right.
Tight-Knit Community
We're a community who want to be better than we were yesterday
I’ll say it again. We’re here for you. No matter where you are in life, we’ve got your six. It’s a long road; let’s ride it together. It will get better. There is light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope. You got this. Join our secret Slack Community for all the accountability. (Ask, and you'll be added)
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.
