Viva Leisure passes 20 years since opening of first Club Lime

Viva Leisure has passed 20 years since the opening of its first Club Lime, Club Blue and Club Swim facility at CISAC, Canberra.

Sharing the achievement on social media, Viva Leisure Chief Executive and Managing Director, Harry Konstantinou advised “this milestone isn't just about marking time - it's a celebration of an incredible journey we've shared as a team and community.

“From one location to a leading network across Australia, our growth has been phenomenal. Our team, expanding from around 100 to 1700 passionate individuals, reflects our commitment to excellence and community spirit. This isn't just a story of expansion, it's a tale of dreams turned into reality.

“I'm filled with gratitude when I think about our original team members who joined us on day one. Together, we've built more than just facilities - we've built a family, a culture, and a legacy. I fondly remember the all-nighters, the initial challenges and the thrill of our first successes, like reaching over 600 memberships on opening day, and now proudly serving over 350,000 members.

“A heartfelt thank you to everyone who's been part of this journey. Your dedication, innovation, and belief in our mission have been the driving force behind our success. As we look to the future, I'm exhilarated about the possibilities that lie ahead.

“Here's to continuing to inspire, innovate, and lead in the health and fitness industry.”
