duda • September 3, 2025

Some of you may have met Jazz Speight! If you haven?t, make it happen! Your life will be richer for it.

Please give an official Virtus Family welcome to our newest coach!

Jazz has spent the last few months doing an intensive internship and has done a brilliant job getting to know some of you already. She aligns wonderfully with our ethos and values and I can?t wait to see her grow and develop alongside our members!

Jazz kicks off her first shift on Wednesday, get around her, show her some love.

Here?s a little bit about Jazz in her own words

Hey everyone, my name is Jazz, and I?m a new coach at Virtus!

I am a Strength & Conditioning Coach and soon to be Exercise Physiologist (Almost like a physio but not quite)

I have a special interest for the sport/injury rehabilitation process and training Females/Female Athletes and Pregnant and Postpartum women. My biggest passion is to be a role model for all females and provide quality information and training advice to help them become the very best version of themselves no matter their goal.

When I?m not working or studying you can find me reading, training, or playing with my 2 dogs Henry and Theodore who will hopefully (when they become more well behaved) one day make an appearance at the gym.

What drew me to Virtus were the people, culture, and values! I knew Virtus is a place that not only cares about the progress you?re all making inside the gym but also outside the gym; all of which align with my values too as a person and coach! No matter the career I chose I wanted to work alongside like-minded people that want to get better every day which is why I reached out!

Kindness is a superpower; it?s free and we never know what others are going through. I believe it?s contagious and you can make someone?s day with a small act. I also believe that how we act at work and outside work should align.

Understanding what our values are and doing our very best to live up to them in everything we do is key to building meaningful relationships with those around us.

You can expect me to always have your best interest at heart so we can get the best out of you!

Also, if you have had any kind of injury, I?ll ask you lots of questions I?ll be very curious!

I?m very excited to get started, I?ll see those who are training Wednesday morning for my first shift!

Get around this wonderful human! As you can see, Banksy loves her, and banksy is an exemplary judge of character!

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?
