Name:

Rebeccah Hockley

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

I am actually honoured, it feels like I have just been picked first in school sports instead of last. I?ve finally made it!

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?

The environment. I?ve been to a fair few gyms, both commercial and ?specialty? gyms and the atmosphere at Virtus is by far the best and not like anything I?ve experienced so far.

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

Hitting my minimums is the number one habit I?ve been able to adopt and really adhere to. It?s always in the back of my head that there are just those few things I need to make sure I?m doing every day.

What helps keep you on track with your goals?

My passion and love for lifting and being strong. I am always wanting to better myself and increase my strength, so I really love the process of getting stronger. I fall off track sometimes as everyone does, but that passion for throwing heavy weights around always has me bouncing back.

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

Everyone I know at Virtus has, unintentionally, taught me something through their own life experiences, beliefs and attitudes. If I really had to choose one, it would be one of the many life lessons that Coach Cam has taught me, and that is that if you don?t ask the question, you?ll never know the answer. I really live by this every single day.

What was your first impression of Virtus Performance?

I can be a very awkward person when meeting new people or experiencing things for the first time. The first time I came down to Virtus I was made to feel so comfortable, which is a huge tick of approval for someone like me. Again, going back to that amazing atmosphere that has been created at Virtus.

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

I?m really excited to just get stronger. After recently competing in my first Powerlifting meet, I am so ready to improve on the numbers I have already hit and really work on my weaknesses so I can be better next time I compete!

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

Just to jump in and do it. There is absolutely no reason not to. Go down and get to know everyone and meet the coaches. You?ll feel like you?re part of the family straight away and that?s no word of a lie.

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?
