Uncharted Performance announces partnership with Thrudark

Some partnerships feel inevitable, like two paths destined to cross. The collaboration between Uncharted Performance and ThruDark is one such meeting of minds—a union of philosophies built on grit, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

From its inception, Uncharted Performance has stood for more than physical training. It’s a philosophy rooted in mental resilience, holistic development, and a refusal to settle for mediocrity. Similarly, ThruDark’s reputation for crafting elite performance gear is grounded in their commitment to quality, innovation, and enduring reliability in the harshest conditions.

The values shared by these two organisations go far beyond branding. Both believe that true strength is forged in adversity—whether through enduring a grueling training session or surviving the elements in the most unforgiving environments. Excellence is not an accident; it’s earned, tested, and proven.

For years, Marc Rhodes, founder of Uncharted Performance, admired ThruDark from afar. As someone who has walked the walk—from competing in some of the world’s toughest endurance races to coaching individuals through their most challenging mental and physical transformations—Marc’s standards are uncompromising. He’s long worn ThruDark’s kit, relying on it to perform under the harshest conditions.

For Marc, this partnership is deeply personal. “I’ve always believed in working with people and brands who embody the values we teach: resilience, preparation, and adaptability. ThruDark’s commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our mission at Uncharted”.

This collaboration reaches new heights with Staz, former UK Special Forces and co-founder of ThruDark. Known for his unparalleled discipline and resilience, Staz is now preparing for a monumental challenge. For this journey, he’s turned to Uncharted Performance for a training regimen that’s as holistic as it is rigorous.

“I needed a process,” Staz explains. “Not just a plan I could download online. Marc and the Uncharted team take the time to understand who you are—your injuries, your mindset, your goals—and they tailor everything to push you toward your best.”

Through meticulous programming and a focus on mental as well as physical resilience, Uncharted is helping Staz prepare for the mental grind and physical demands of Everest. Meanwhile, ThruDark’s gear will provide the reliability and protection he needs to endure extreme conditions.

This isn’t just a story about training or gear. It’s about what happens when preparation meets purpose. It’s about the power of aligning with people and organisations that share your values. Uncharted Performance and ThruDark both operate on the belief that excellence isn’t a destination; it’s a process—one that demands relentless effort, adaptability, and the courage to embrace discomfort.

This partnership is only the beginning. Together, Uncharted Performance and ThruDark are setting a new standard for what it means to perform at your best, whether on the summit of Everest or in the challenges of everyday life. They’re proving that with the right mindset, preparation, and tools, there are no limits to what you can achieve.

Stay tuned as Staz continues his journey—and as Uncharted and ThruDark redefine what it means to thrive in the face of adversity. This is more than a partnership. It’s a mission to inspire others to push their boundaries, stay the course, and embrace the uncharted.
