Vida Fitness was established in 2016 to help improve the health and fitness of the community and complement the skill set of athletes looking to gain that edge needed for success. Through our affiliates Vida Tennis, Vida Footy and Vida Mind, it became evident that athletes were not getting the required biomechanical coaching that was necessary for efficient movement, sparking the concept that became Vida Fitness.
In April 2019, Vida Fitness grew from our Boxing Studio and PT studio, to running all fitness areas at the Veneto Club Bulleen.
In January 2024, the Elite TSm & Vida Fitness partnership was formed.
“It’s time to raise the bar! Its time to be Elite.”
