Kate Norman
S&C · Member since 2026“I was struggling to get back into the gym after having my second baby. I'd been training consistently for about eight years and that was the longest break I'd had. The biggest change for me would definitely be just my mental health, which was like an instant thing. As soon as I started at Virtus, I just felt like myself again, had my confidence back.”
Jackson Alcock
VAD · Member since 2021“The biggest thing about my training that has changed is probably my knowledge around it. It exposed me to the why behind training, why you're doing exercise, for what purpose, how it relates to the sport that you want to train for and almost outside of life too.”
Jack McMillan
VAD · Member since 2025“I'm currently four weeks post-op from a hamstring rupture and I'm working closely with Emily Wallace and Aiden. I'm currently out for the season, but a goal of mine is to be back running by the end of the year. The Virtus team have been very supportive through the period so far with daily check-ins.”
Loved on Google and Facebook.

Gemma Hudson
VAD · Member since 2023“For all of my adult life pretty much, I thought you had to punish yourself through exercise... Whereas here, it's discipline training, but you get to do stuff that you love. Feeling like I can lift well, and that I'm really super strong, is really empowering. And for once, I actually like exercise.”
