“At the illustrious FitSummit awards night held in Singapore tonight, our esteemed Viva Leisure team has been recognised as the Fitness & Wellness Company of the Year 2023.
“This award, bestowed upon us by industry peers, underlines the respect and influence we have in our field.
“The magnitude of this honour spans across both Australia and Asia, making it a significant and far-reaching achievement.
“It's with immense pride that I acknowledge the collective effort that has led us to this moment. In just a short span of four years, we've journeyed from being a small gym group in Canberra with ambitious aspirations, to evolving into Australia's second-largest, fastest growing and undoubtedly premier health club owner.
“Each member of our 1,700 strong team has played a crucial role in achieving this honour. This award stands as a testament to our dedication, perseverance, and shared passion for excellence and to make the world a happier and healthier environment.
“Thank you to Ross Stewart Campbell, Blair Russell Campbell and the entire team at FitSummit for putting on an amazing event.
“Thank you also to my team for your continued dedication and for making Viva Leisure the industry leader it is today.
“Here's to more victories ahead.”
With the World Health, Fitness and Wellness Festival concluding today, FIT Summit’s attention now turns to its first event in Australia, the 2023 Asia-Pacific Health, Fitness, Wellness and Sports Festival to be held at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth from 21st to 23rd November.
