Q: Why is worth joining a private gym instead of developing my own exercise routine?

A: Social media and the introduction of home workout videos have completely changed the face of the fitness industry. With so much choice and fitness supplements on offer, it’s hard to find a routine that’s best for you, that you know will work.

Working out at home, and following online training techniques can also be hazardous, may not yield positive results and could lead to injury. By joining Quo Vadis you’ll be sure to receive professional help and guidance, in a safe and secure environment.

The level of nutritional and fitness guidance we provide at Quo Vadis was traditionally reserved for professional athletes. We regularly review developments in the field of health and fitness, updating our knowledge base accordingly.
