What started out as a “we should start our own box” joke on a training holiday abroad actually made it out of the group chat. In founder Lilian’s mind it planted a small but persistent seed: what if…? A few years, countless workouts, and many coffee-fuelled brainstorm sessions later, Vi was born.
People often ask us about the name. Why Vi? Actually pronounced as “Vie”, but we call it “Vy”, means “strength” in Latin. It comes from the phrase Vires acquirit eundo — we gather strength as we go. That’s what we stand for: every rep, every breath, every drop of sweat adds to your strength; physically, mentally and emotionally.
For some, that might be hitting a brand new back squat PR. For others, it’s finding the mental clarity to tackle life outside the gym. Sometimes, it’s just about blowing off steam after a long day at work and leaving with a smile.
We welcome everyone, whether you’ve never touched a barbell before or you’ve been training for years. Whether you’re 91 years young or 19 years old. Our community is built on the belief that fitness is for everyone, and we are here to be your second home.
Life already gives us enough reasons to be serious. That’s why we keep things light — literally, in our colours and in our atmosphere. Expect laughter between sets, coaches who know your name and workouts that challenge you.
Our coaching team brings a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and passions to the floor from competitive athletes to everyday movers who understand the challenges of balancing training with work, family, and life. This diversity means we can meet you exactly where you are and help you grow in the way that’s right for you.
