Are you tired of crowded gyms and waiting for equipment? Imagine having a fully equipped gym in the comfort of your home.

Home Gym

Who Is Grant Wild: A Passionate Fitness Enthusiast

"I’ve been training since I was 13, and the gym has always been a big part of my life. I've tried everything from CrossFit to powerlifting. The inspiration behind the gym was really about creating a space that I always wanted to be in. I’ve had home gyms in the past and found it very hard to get motivated to train when the space and the equipment weren’t right. Put simply, if the space is right, training becomes easier and more fun."

Why Did You Choose VERVE Fitness for Your Home Gym?

"When it came to equipment, I wanted the best I could afford, prioritising quality and customer service. After doing my initial research, which included several conversations with the VERVE team, I initially selected another gym provider due to cost. After facing false promises and missed delivery dates, I quickly realised my mistake, cancelled my order, and turned to VERVE. The process has been great, with excellent communication and top-notch gear – very well made and great to use. Particularly, the Tori Functional Trainer Rack, Leg Extension, and Leg Press are exceptional."

Building the Perfect Home Gym

"Now that everything is up and running, our family has a fully functional home gym that rivals any commercial gym. All four of us use it, including my partner, who loves it. We have the freedom to train anytime without any hassles."

What’s Next for Grant Wild's Home Gym?

"I plan to add more free weights and a hyperextension soon. I’m also looking forward to VERVE’s recovery equipment, like ice baths, for phase two of the gym build!"
