Verve For Life: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to attend any class at Verve for Life. Well thought out and clearly instructed. All the staff are top class.
What a review - thanks Christine! We’ve loved having you part of the family for so many years now!!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing transformative experience during the recent twists workshop. What began as a physical opening, led to a mental opening and a journey of shifting my emotions. It was challenging and rewarding and all conducted in the beautiful safe space of Verve. At the end I felt balanced in my mind and body. What a wonderful chance to more intimately explore my yoga practice and the mind - body connection. Thankyou to Soph and Claire ♥️♥️
Fantastic experience: Great to be back moving after a week away. Body felt great prior and a comfortable sore after. Thanks Claire.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful, knowledgeable , caring and friendly gym. Highly recommend the gym and yoga classes.
❤️✌
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic environment! They really cater to each individual’s needs. Before I even started classes, Nate conducted some initial sessions to establish a baseline, allowing me to track my progress effectively. One of the best aspects of Verve is the ability to mix things up each week—I get to do CrossFit, movement classes, and Pilates all in one week. I appreciate the variety and the way my body benefits from different types of training. Nath and Clare are incredible, and I also want to give a special shout-out to Jacqui for her supportive nature. Overall, it’s an amazing place!
Thanks so much Charlotte, we're so glad to have you here! Jac is definitely the best cheerleader for everyone here at Verve, she always has encouraging words :)
Fantastic experience: I have only been attending the classes at Verve for 2 months but the friendly supportive team are pleasure to be with. I have learnt so much from The experts in movement and Yoga.
It's so great to see your improvement since you've joined us Charles! And of course you are always a joy to have in class.
Fantastic experience: OMG my new home! This place is light and deep and fun and soulful. All the teachers add their own special twist to Iyengar Yoga and you'll learn something magical from each of them. Iyengar asanas will honestly help you understand the miracle of existing! After a few yoga classes, it made sense to visit Clare for some physio, to help me with my arm and knee niggles. Wowwww! She has a crazy deep sense of the anatomy being a yoga teacher as well as physio and she doesn't give boring text book exercises! I carried a knee problem for 3 years and she knew exactly what is was and fixed 80% of the problem on the spot and with the exercises she gave me (fun exercises) I was pretty much jumping puddles again within 2 weeks! The whole place is welcoming and inclusive and I'm just so stoked to be a member here woooo! Verve For Life indeed!
We're so happy that you found us Terri ;) You bring such fun and an energetic vibe every time you walk through the door, it's just fabulous to have you here.
Fantastic experience: Only new at this, I am really being looked after for my capabilities, I am enjoying the classes and look forward to the next one
It's like you've always been here Lester, the 9.30 crew wouldn't be the same without you!
Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful place & space to train ones mind, body & spirit. My restorative yoga class this morning was truly transformative
It's so great to have you back in the yoga room Trina! And thank you for the glowing review ✌
Fantastic experience: Verve for life/Crossfit VFL is an awesome place to workout. The gym is amazing and the environment is even better. The coaches Nath and Luke are so good. They are welcoming and supportive no matter the level you are starting at. No workouts are completely fixed and are super accomodating to modifications. Friendly staff and members. Top gym for everyone from beginners to experienced.
Thanks so much for the kind words Sar! We are so happy to have you back in our walls!! ☺️
Fantastic experience: I love coming back to VFL. There’s always a class that fits my schedule. It’s always nice to come back to a family, where you’re welcomed always.

Sonia, you are such a pleasure to coach! Thank you for becoming a Vervie and getting your daughter Liv as part of the team too!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for awhile now and there’s no other place I’d rather be, AM or PM classes. The coaches and the community are amazing….and I’m beyond thankful for the bonus parenting my child receives from everyone!
Amy Lou, you’re basically part of the furniture here! Thank you for trusting us all this time - and it’s so nice to have someone who goes between mornings and evenings! Usually it’s 100% rivalry!
Fantastic experience: Great fitness experience. Love the mix of crossfit, yoga and pilates classes. Everyone is super friendly. Great service. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback Casey! We love having you make your way between the 2 sites using all the services!!
Fantastic experience: I have been accessing Claire at VFL for over ten years. She is amazing. I have had the privilege of watching the business grow and, enjoy the culture of VFL. I feel very bless to have such skilled physiotherapist and fantastic new masseuse (Ryan). I highly recommend him one of the best massage therapist I have had in a very long time. be included in the wonderful too. #definitelyrecommended #Christmasgiftitsnottolate #selfcare
Chelle, you've always been at the heart of Verve, through all it's stages! Thank you so much for your kind feedback - yes, Claire is one of a kind! Have a wonderful Christmas! (and thanks for the little home grown vegetable packages you're often bringing in!!
Fantastic experience: Love Verve For Life foundation sessions every week. You never have a bad one. Lots of encouragement, support and a nice place to go.
Thanks Garry - so happy to hear you’re enjoying foundations Iyengar classes!
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Amazing physios and fitness programs for everyone, regardless of fitness level or injury. Love the movement classes. I do them with my 14 yr old daughter!
Fantastic experience: Yoga at Verve is exceptional. Claire and her team are kind, empathetic and differentiate their classes to meet the needs of all.
Thank you so much for the fabulous feedback. Claire is definitely lucky to have the team she does to bring yoga to as many as they can. So glad it's ticking all the boxes for you ☺️. Nath ✌
Fantastic experience: Like that I can do both crossfit and yoga for the one subscription. Both are really well ran and the people amazing. I love every visit.
Thanks for the kind review Andrew! We’re so happy you live your visits - we think the people are pretty amazing too . N ✌
Fantastic experience: Would recommend Verve for life over any yoga studio I have ever been to. It’s a great fun environment and the instructors know how to get the best out of you everytime!!! I have also had back problems and with Claire’s help on the pyhsio table are now pain free playing golf after 18 months chronic pain.
Fantastic experience: Love love love yoga at Verve. I have been going to verve for about 8 years & its never the same. My body feels pain-free & mobile thanks to the expertise of all the yoga teachers Such beautiful surroundings & expert teachers. I would never go anywhere else
So grateful for your kind words! Love having you as part of the yoga family!! ☺️
Fantastic experience: My sister was pestering me to go see Claire for a physio appointment for my back pain. I can only say I wish I'd gone sooner. Claire is an actual magician and the physio treatment was a huge relief to my aching muscles. I'm already scheduled for a second visit and I've booked my husband in too. Seeing her is true self-care.
Hi there! We are so grateful you eventually decided to visit us in the studio! Even more grateful you have found relief. Claire = magician in not an uncommon sentiment we hear around these parts, but it's as wonderful hearing it this time as it was the first! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Nath
Fantastic experience: When someone asks what gym I go to I say ... I'm a Vervie ! It always brings on a puzzled look. So I explain .... Verve for life.... it happens and I belong. VFL Crossfit , Verve Yoga and movement....it goes on they do everything ! One stop shop. I've been here for years and I love it ! Nath , Claire and co are like family! The best coaches , they do it well, and support you no matter level you're at ! Can't think of a better space to try and change your life in ! You need to become a Vervie !!
Fantastic experience: Been going for a couple of months and have always found that the folks there are very supportive. My age means that I need to be a little careful in what I do...but there is always someone looking over my shoulder keeping an eye on me and keeping me safe. It's great fun...tough...but fun. I look forward to each session. No ego...no mirrors.....just people working hard and having fun.
70-something () and starting CrossFit. You’re an inspiration Lothar!!
Fantastic experience: really nice place! yoga classes by experienced trainers. kind owners. free trial sessions and they also sell some gear.
Thanks AJ! Kind owners is one of the greatest compliments we could ever receive! We hope we continue seeing you for yoga! Nath.
Fantastic experience: I recently joined Verve for Life (CrossFit VFL) as a complete beginner to CrossFit and I’m old enough to remember Princess Diana visiting Maitland. I don’t have a gymnastics background, I’ve never been gym rat and I’d never even seen a barbell in real life let alone picked one up before joining the gym but I’ve had an amazing time so far. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the coaches are not only knowledgeable but also super supportive. They are helping me learn proper techniques and form, and they scale the workouts to suit my current ability and fitness level which has increase my comfort and boosted my confidence. The workouts are challenging but I’m able to go at my own pace and I’m always encouraged by the coaches to push my own limits. The members are friendly and always ready to offer a helping hand or words of encouragement or show you how to get weights off the barbell more efficiently! The variety that comes with having a different workout every day keeps things interesting, and I can already see improvements in my strength and endurance. I have a Verve One unlimited membership so as well as CrossFit I’ve also been able to access Yoga, Pilates and Resilience and Balance classes as part of my membership which makes it easy to balance my strength training with mobility work. Honestly, my experience at Verve for Life has been nothing short of fantastic. My first love is long distance running but I’ve discovered that there’s room in my heart for CrossFit and Yoga as well. Verve For Life is a gym where I’m able to work on both my strength and mobility in the same gym and in a super supportive environment. If you’re a beginner like me, don’t be intimidated by all the unfamiliar equipment, movements and acronyms written on the board (I swear CrossFit has more acronyms than a government department) – just walk in and give it a try. I was very, very nervous when I joined and now a month later I go every day and I look forward to it!
We’re so glad you’ve joined us Mon! Love having you here ☺️
Fantastic experience: Verve is such an amazing place to practice yoga for all ages and ability levels. Claire absolutely puts her heart and soul into every class and all the instructors (Soph, Alana, Rebecca, Michelle and Renee) have so much to offer in terms of support and guidance. If you're thinking about joining, do yourself a favour and join sooner rather than later You definitely won't regret it ❤ Also! I rarely write reviews. I just really want everyone to know how good it is
We love getting a "I rarely write reviews" review! Too often, I think people save the "rare review" for a complaint or to warn people off. To inspire you to help our business visibility with a review is very humbling! Nath ☺️
Fantastic experience: Such a inclusive and welcoming group of people with a great culture and amazing community feeling
Fantastic experience: Having been a member of Verve for life for years now, just wanted to say how well they have looked after me. Not only gym, yoga and phyiso the complete package, looking after my health needs. I once read "Set your life on fire, Seek those who fan your flames" don't know who said it, but its is what Verve for Life provide. Thank you Verve for Life.
For those playing at home, it was 13th century Persian poet Rumi! I don't think we've ever been referred to this way and I absolutely love it Mark - Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Have recently returned to Verve after time off for kids The warm welcome that was received from all staff and coaches is like no other The members also made my return welcoming Coaches are awesome and their knowledge phenomenal!! They all go over and above to make sure clients are maximizing their training and if there is something you arent comfortable with they will adapt any work out to suit There isnt anywhere else in Newcastle that I would go to for my training and enjoy the early morning starts knowing Im in great hands!!! Thanks verve staff, coaches and members!!!
Thanks Tonya!! We're so glad you found us again! You bring such vibrance and fun to each early morning start!!! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds. N
Fantastic experience: Verve is more than just a business. It’s run with passion and integrity and the culture/vibe you feel in every single class is the perfect example/result of this! It’s a place full of real people doing life. Make sure you try ALL the programs out! I used to do CrossFit 5 days a week. Now I mix it up with yoga/balance and my body and mind are thanking me for it! Give it a 2 week trial and you’ll be hooked!
Jess, thank you so much for such thoughtful feedback. We’re so grateful for you having found Verve and becoming part of the family!!
Fantastic experience: Verve has changed my life. Becoming a yogi was the BEST decision I ever made. Not only am I fitter, stronger & healthier, but my mind is more peaceful, rested & focused. A HUGE thank you to my "god" Claire, also Sophie & the Verve gang. :)
Thank you for the kind words Lesley! We certainly love having you in class each day. Long term clients like yourself are some of our most rewarding stories. You all create the community we come to call home.Nath & Claire
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Verve for Life for nearly six months. I attend the 6.30 to 7.30am Crossfit class 6 days a week and I really enjoy it. The things I really like about it are: 1) Crossfit is very structured so I don't need to plan workout sessions. This is the first gym I have joined and I don't know much about fitness training. It is so good to rock up every morning and follow a scheduled routine. Each session is different and a qualified instructor directs the session. 2) Instructors are fully qualified. Nathan and Zac are really helpful and a lot of fun. They personally demonstrate each activity and provide individual feedback to participants to ensure exercises are done safely. They also tailor exercises to individual needs, they seem to know where we are all at in relation to fitness levels and change techniques or process to maximise individual participation. They are both really engaging and fun to be around . 3) The gym is clean, organised and fully set up with Crossfit equipement. 4) Class participants are really friendly and encouraging. This is the first gym I have ever joined and was very unsure what to expect. The gym has a really family vibe and people are helpful and supportive. The group I work out with are mixed gender and have a wide age range from high school students to retirees. The focus is on personal bests not who is the best. Verve for Life has made fitness so motivating ..... I really can't fault it
Dave, you are like a duck to water when it comes to fitting in with the community - always a great time to have in class with a positive energy! Couldn't ask for more!
Fantastic experience: Passion, commitment and dedication to ensuring every single member gets the maximum benefit from training no what their ability. This is an all inclusive culture and community that's more like a family than a gym where you are completely free just to be yourself. Verve has with exceptional coaches with immense knowledge who absolutely thrive delivering top quality and personalised coaching no matter what the group size and in every single session. There is always an option and a goal to strive for in class. 18 months ago I never ever dreamed that I could what I do today in training and I look forward to even more achievements ahead. You are all absolute legends..x
Nic, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are so glad you have found us and then gone on to get your kids and husband though the doors as well! The Cowley family will always have a home at Verve!!
