VIVA Fitness + Wellness

Okay… this is actually happening 😅🏃🏼‍♀️
London Marathon 2027!! 🇬🇧✨

Something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time, and I’m SO excited (and slightly terrified 😂) to finally say I’ve got a place.

I’ll be running for Charity Link, raising money to support vulnerable people and families across our local communities ❤️

26.2 miles is a long way 🤣 BUT I’m ready to put the work in, push myself outside my comfort zone (of 10k 🤣) and see what I’m capable of.

Plenty of training, fundraising and questionable life choices to come between now and April 😂

If you’d like to support me along the way, my fundraising page is

London… LETS GO 🥹🏃🏼‍♀️❤️

Okay… so this is not a problem I ever thought I’d be facing two years ago… but here I am posting about it 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

We currently have 15!! 🤯 people on our waiting list, which is WILD and both exciting and overwhelming.🤣

So first of all, thank you so much to every single person who’s enquired about joining VIVA!

We’ve actually been at capacity since November 2025, operating on a one in, one out system whenever a membership becomes available.

With so many enquiries recently, I’ve realised the waiting list process now needs to be a little more streamlined to make it as fair as possible for everyone.

Everyone’s circumstances are different. Some people are ready to start straight away, while others are planning ahead for September or later and that’s absolutely fine!
To make sure the process stays fair for everyone, I’ve realised we need a clearer waiting list system.

So, from today, when a membership becomes available:

1️⃣I’ll contact people in the order they joined the waiting list.

2️⃣You’ll be invited to book one complimentary class, which you’ll need to attend within 7 days.

3️⃣After your class, you’ll have 48 hours to decide if VIVA is the right fit and secure your membership before the space is offered to the next person.

4️⃣If now isn’t the right time when I get in touch, that’s absolutely fine too. Just let me know and I’ll happily keep you on the waiting list for a future space or remove you if your plans have changed.

I hope this makes the process clearer and fairer for everyone.

And finally… Thank you,Thank you, Thank you!
I genuinely never imagined I’d be writing a post like this, and I’m so grateful that so many of you want to be part of our community 🖤

JOIN OUR TEAM 🥳

We’re excited to have recently welcomed a fantastic new coach to the VIVA team, but as our community continues to grow, we’re still looking for a few more amazing people to join us.

At VIVA, we believe how people feel in our space matters just as much as how they train.

We’ve built a supportive community where people of all ages and abilities can feel comfortable, challenged and encouraged, and we’re looking for coaches who can bring energy & positivity to every session.

Current opportunities:

🔥 Group Fitness Instructor / PT / Coach

* Thursday evenings – 6:00pm
* Friday mornings – 6:30am

🧘 Mat Pilates Instructor

* Thursday – 10:30am
* Friday – 10:30am

We’re looking for friendly, motivated instructors who genuinely love helping people move, feel stronger and build confidence.

Whether you’re an experienced coach looking for extra classes or a Pilates instructor searching for a welcoming studio community, we’d love to hear from you.

A little VIVA glow up before our 2nd birthday 🥳✨

When we opened VIVA, we didn’t have a huge budget or a big loan. We just had a dream, a vision for what we wanted to create, and a willingness to put in the absolute GRAFT it would take to get there. 🙌🏻

Over the last two years, we’ve continually reinvested back into VIVA, adding equipment, improving the space, and making it better bit by bit….
Nothing happened overnight 😬
but we’re so proud of how far we’ve come. 🙌🏻 Thank you Luke McKay for trusting the vision and working so hard to make it happen! 😬😅

We now feel like we’ve created a truly multifunctional space that works just as well for Lift Club and Hybrid sessions as it does for Yoga & pilates.

Every decision has been made with our members in mind, creating a space that feels welcoming and somewhere people genuinely enjoy spending time.
With fold away squat racks, soft ambient lighting, new mirrors, and upgraded equipment, the space can transform within in minutes.

We’re not quite finished yet, but we’re finally starting to feel like we’re almost there… and we couldn’t be more excited about the future 🖤

What do you think of the new look? 😬
