THE DREAM THAT IS TEAM VALIDUS
What started as a dream, drawn on a piece of paper over dinner turned into a reality and TEAM VALIDUS was born. We started Team Validus because of our love for helping and seeing people from all walks of life achieve their health and fitness goals.
We have created an inclusive environment for people of all levels of fitness and capabilities. Our facilities, training and meal prep services ensure that there is something to suit everyone, no matter your health and fitness goals.
Over the years, we have both accumulated a lot of knowledge with our varied experiences. We love using and sharing that knowledge with our members and clients to help them be more active, move better, feel better, be stronger and implement long term consistent health and fitness habits.
