Name:

Jaimee Howlett

First of all, congratulations, bravo, any words for the camera?

Yay! Definitely been putting in the hard yards lately and it feels good to be seeing results and for those results to also be noticed by others!

What do you enjoy most about your training at Virtus?

I love surrounding myself and training with really motivated people like those who come into virtus! I also love the type of programs Mitch creates, they kill me, but by the end I?m feeling super accomplished.

What are the habits that you have adopted since joining Virtus?

Since training at Virtus I have become conscious of incorporating movement every day if possible. And now knowing how hard I can train, not to slack off when I?m at the gym on my own.

What helps keep you on track with your goals?

Having someone to keep me accountable for my sessions, as well as having a friend to train with is not only motivating but great at keeping me on track.

What is one thing you have learnt since joining Virtus that has changed your life?

Like I said before I definitely have learnt how hard I can train and that I am capable of WAY more than I think I am. Which also allows me to think in that way of all areas in life that I am capable of so much more than what I?d previously thought!

What was your first impression of Virtus Performance?

I was super impressed with first of all the aesthetics of the place! But also how hard everyone trains which pushes me to be better.

What are you most excited about achieving in the next few months?

I?m keen to keep on working on my underhand chins and other body weight stuff. As well as lifting as heavy as I can!!

What advice would you have for someone thinking of joining the Virtus Family?

To not hesitate to start. I really started from the beginning so I know how intimidating it can be. But to know you will get there! I have come such a long way from training with Mitch for the past year, so it?s 100% worth the time and money.

Any extra comments/jokes/memes or quotes?

Feels good to be apart of an awesome community! You guys are the besttttt xx

Enjoyment. Consistency. Progress. The Foundations of Virtus

September 3, 2025

At Virtus Performance, everything we do, from our coaching to our programming, is built on three key foundations: Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress. Combined with built-in feedback loops, these principles ensure constant evolution, athlete buy-in, and results that last. Humans are complex, adaptive systems, always changing and responding to our environment. At the same time, we are also simple beings. We repeat the things we enjoy and the things that help us improve. That is why these three factors sit at the heart of Virtus coaching. 1. Enjoyment: Training You Actually Want to Do If training feels like punishment, you will eventually stop. Willpower can only carry you so far. That is why at Virtus, we design world-class strength and conditioning programs that are challenging, but also fun, rewarding, and engaging. Enjoyment is fuelled by our community. You will connect with others, laugh, and celebrate wins along the way. Training becomes more than just another task. It becomes one of the best parts of your week. 2. Consistency: The Secret to Real Change The people who achieve their goals are not always the most talented. They are the ones who keep showing up. Consistency is the real secret sauce in strength and conditioning. At Virtus, we do not just coach. We educate. You will learn why the work matters, how to fit training into a busy life, and how to build habits that stick. Through accountability and support, we help you keep turning up week after week, so results compound over time. 3. Progress: Becoming More Capable Progress fuels motivation. When you can see and feel change, you want to keep going. Whether it is lifting heavier, moving better, running faster, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your own skin, progress is what drives long-term commitment. That is why our coaching emphasises performance. With structured programs, regular testing weeks, and goal reviews, we ensure you are not just training. You are evolving. At Virtus, we believe in continual improvement. Every program includes feedback loops: testing, reflection, and goal setting that ensure your training adapts as you do. This process creates genuine athlete buy-in because you see and feel the results of your work. Our philosophy is simple. Training should help you do more of the things you love, in a stronger and more capable way. By combining Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress with our pillars of Community, Education, and Performance, Virtus coaching sets the foundation for long-term success. That is Virtus. That is Better Every Day. Ready to dive in and experience Virtus?
