Name:

Tarleigh Munro

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

Woohoo, I've made it!! I am actually so stoked to be chosen for the October member spotlight, it's a good feeling!

How has your decision to join Virtus improved your life?

Virtus has improved my life in so many ways, and so much more than just physically being stronger and moving better. Being around all the coaches at Virtus has helped and inspired me to be better in just day to day life and I?m really appreciative of that.

What do you enjoy most about your training at Virtus?

I enjoy the style of training, the variety of workouts, and the amazing people. I'm definitely moving a lot better, and feeling a lot stronger since.

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

Warming up! I've definitely noticed a massive change in by capabilities in each individual session since taking the time and doing a proper warm up.

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?

I can now do TWO unassisted pull ups. This may not seem big, but it was a massive achievement for myself and I was pretty damn happy. What I'm saying is, that Virtus has taught me not to give up. At the start of the year if you told me I'd be able to do 1 pull up by October I would've laughed in your face, but I've done it.

What was your first impression of Virtus Performance?

I remember the very first session I had at Virtus, it was a one on one with Mitch, he made me feel so comfortable, my nerves were completely at ease. There was no judgement, no competitiveness, just a warm and welcoming environment. I can be pretty awkward and quiet when first meeting people, but the fun and welcoming atmosphere helped me open up fairly fast!

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

I am hoping to get my lower back, back to normal. I need to remember that rest days are good for the physical and mental health. Rest, rejuvenate, and recover!

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

DO IT! You won't regret it. What more could you want other than training somewhere everyday with such amazing people and facilities. Your body will thank you for it.

Any extra comments/jokes/memes or quotes?

Be cool, be kind

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?
