“This recognition means a great deal, but it’s not a solo achievement. It reflects the incredible work of the passionate, hardworking and forward-thinking team at Viva Leisure. Every person across our business plays a role in delivering on our mission, and I couldn’t be prouder to lead such an extraordinary group.

“In the coming weeks, we’ll be launching a new tagline 'Shaping the future of fitness'  - and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re not just showing up - we’re building something that’s changing lives. With 480+ locations open and another 120+ already sold or committed across Club Lime, Plus Fitness, World Gym Australia and the Boutique Fitness Studios Australia & New Zealand licensed brands, we are setting a new standard in the industry.

“Not only that - we have the most technology-focused team in the industry, building out tech products that others haven’t even imagined yet. We’re more than just a gym business. With over 600,000 members, we are a fitness and technology company driving innovation, accessibility and long-term transformation in the health and wellness space.

“A huge thank you to the entire Viva team — this award belongs to all of you.

“And of course, congratulations to all the other award recipients tonight. It’s inspiring to be part of an industry filled with such talent, passion and innovation.
