Our Story

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

At Verve For Life we combine movement and fitness, goal-setting and education, rehabilitation and relaxation in one destination. Verve For Life offers Iyengar Yoga, CrossFit, Small Group Training, Pilates, and Movement classes. Physiotherapists, and massage therapists are also at our Warners Bay site.

Our Story

Starting from humble beginnings inside of a gym in 2006, Verve For Life began as a seedling with a clear, concise vision: to be a unique centre of fitness and wellness where every individual felt connected, informed and loved. Since then we have moved, grown, expanded, both personally and professionally, and have seen our community align with the same ethos of connection and growing together. We invite you to join our community, to be positively challenged and supported to meet your goals. To be strengthened with flexibility and fortitude. To be known and cared for by your name, not scanned in by a number. Join us at our new location 10A/311 Hillsborough Road, Warners Bay.

We live, move and find our very being in our five values:

 

  • We are hungry and green.
  • We exude positive energy and passion.
  • We have integrity – always.
  • We are humbly committed to our people and excellence.
  • We have fun!

 

We are hungry and green.

We exude positive energy and passion.

We are humbly committed to our people and excellence.

Verve For Life, for you…
Verve community, for you. CrossFit intensity, for you. Stability in body and mind, for you. Guided evolution, for you. Strength and balance, for you. Be a better you, for you.

Our Mantra

Inspirational poster

Our focus has
always been a simple one.
To provide first class health and fitness experiences to as many people as we are capable of. We believe that quality service comes from caring humans and those that call Verve their home away from home are the reason we get out of bed in the morning. Like no other service in Newcastle, you can find it all here under one roof.

We believe

In this case, our people are who we are. The values we seek in our team members are the same as we love in our clients, our Vervies! Humility, integrity and fun. Eagerness to learn, energetic and committed. All qualities we love to be around! Come and FEEL the Verve difference.

Verve for Life is a place where all are welcome, no matter how fit or what experience you have had with training. The coaches are like no other - professionally trained, who continually update their skills and are genuinely interested in their members. They motivate, teach and inspire. Everything they ask their members to do they have done themselves. I love that the trainers workout with us when they are not teaching. I love that I have a place to train, where I feel at home and that there is a close-knit community who accept and cheer on everyone. CrossFit brought me to Verve but I love that Verve offers the whole package - CrossFit, the best yoga I’ve ever experienced, Movement, physiotherapy and more. If you want a place to train like no other, try Verve.

Verve For Life offers holistic training in a happy and welcoming environment. There is a buzzing, positive dynamic between the trainers and each and I come to Verve to be the best version of me. The best thing about Verve is the family atmosphere; its sense of community, inclusiveness and acceptance of everyone who comes. Verve makes me feel like I’m always part of the team.

I’ve been to a few training facilities in my time and always left after a short period. I’ve stayed at Verve because of the family environment, the staff, the clients and the overall welcoming feeling I get everyday. Verve is a more personalised facility where it doesn’t matter if you are injured, sore or tired. Just come and they will sort you out so you can still workout. Coaches encourage, support and make you the best you can be everyday. Our whole family goes, including the kids. There is no other place I would rather be than here.

Verve for Life offers holistic training in a happy and welcoming environment. There is a buzzing, positive dynamic between the trainers and each and every one of the class participants. Every session is inclusive and non-judgemental. There is a great set-up of equipment, meaning the sessions are never repeated or boring, and the trainers are motivating and focused on bringing out the best in you. Verve For Life gives me daily motivation and a want to grow both physically and mentally. The coaches do this by ensuring you’re accountable and continually challenging you in a safe way so you develop the best version of yourself.

Verve For Life is the only gym I’ve ever stuck with long term - it’s just so much fun! Every session is different so it’s always interesting. The coaches are amazing, the staff are lovely, and the physios know their stuff! It’s the most welcoming community, regardless of how much or how little training experience you have.

For me starting at Verve For Life was all about the healing process, getting my mind and body into shape to tackle the years ahead. My goal has been achieved in many ways and Verve will continue to be a part of my daily life for emotional and physical fulfilment.

I have been to many gyms around the world but haven't found anywhere like Verve For Life. I love that I am able to access a wide range of classes from CrossFit to yoga, all in the one membership. The quality and cleanliness of the facilities and the high standard of coaching is second to none. I couldn't think of a better way to start my day than with my Verve family.

I come to Verve for Life to do really enjoyable workouts with inspiring coaches and other awesome people! The best thing about Verve are the humans of Verve. The coaches, teachers, and the other clients form a warm and friendly community which I love being a part of. Verve’s got soul! Every coach, trainer and administration staff member knows who you are and makes you feel welcome every day. Verve has an excellent personalised and inclusive approach to their fitness and yoga classes. When I've been in circumstances which have altered my training needs and abilities, the coaches have always provided enjoyable and safe options so that I can still participate. Verve for Life always makes me feel happy, welcome and content.

I love Verve for Life! I have a joint condition and go to yoga and physiotherapy with Claire, which has been making me so much stronger and more stable, despite my limitations. I can always trust that Claire will look out for me even in a bigger class. Verve is a beautiful, calm, friendly environment where everyone is made to feel welcome. It's my happy place.
