The best gym equipment drives you to success
Do you enjoy a classic cardio workout? Take advantage of our cross trainers, treadmills, steppers and rowers. Would you like to ride our spin cycles equipped with computerised monitors to track your progress through different terrains? Our gym has loads of fixed-resistance and plate-loaded equipment, as well as a free weights area for strengthening key muscles.
Why should I join a gym?
There are various reasons why joining a gym is beneficial. Here are some we’ve seen our customers share:
Staying motivated with workout pals
Finding like-minded people to support you and work out with can be challenging when you’re interested in starting a healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, a gym is a place where everyone is looking to be fit and stay fit. Fitness classes and coffee dates with someone else are great motivators and make working out even more fun.
Mood boosting
Nothing beats the feeling of post-workout bliss! During workouts, your body produces endorphins, which are regarded as good feelings for the brain, as well as boosting your self-confidence. Exercising regularly is shown to be effective at treating depression.
Learn new things
Are you interested in learning a new skill or sport? A gym typically offers personal training or lessons for various activities like swimming, tennis, and strength training. You can even train for bucket-list accomplishments like running a marathon at some gyms.
At VH&F, this is possible! Check out the classes we offer for more information.
Reach your goals faster
The gym provides everything you need for success, whether you’re running a marathon or losing weight. Weights and equipment can be appropriately used by knowledgeable trainers and staff. You don’t have to worry about planning your workouts when you take fitness classes. Moreover, exercising indoors means you won’t be hindered by bad weather.
Improving your health
Maintaining a regular exercise routine can be made easier if you join a gym. The benefits of this exercise include building muscle, losing weight, lowering blood pressure, enhancing mental focus, and more. Your appearance will improve, your health will improve, and you can accomplish things you never dreamed of!
Are you interested in joining a collaborative group of like-minded people? Join us at VH&F Health & Fitness to find out what it’s like to work out with the best trainers, the safest gyms, and guaranteed results for any of your fitness goals.

Thought it was time I left a review, so what can I say, I joined back at the beginning of July having not stepped in a... Gym for about 20 years, I was extremely overweight and needed to change, I can happily say that from the moment I walked in and spoke to Dave, I knew I had found the place to help me do it. Since following what Dave went through with me I have lost 8 stone, and feel like a new person from it. still a little way to go but know that I have found the place I will do it. Finding Vida and Dave has literally changed my life for the better.read more

I have been training here for a number of years on and off when home from university and it is by far the best gym in... Oxford. The range of equipment (i.e., squat racks/platforms), an entire room dedicated to plate-loaded machines, the fact that it is never overly busy so weighting for equipment is rare makes it my favourite place to train. Finally, the exceptionally friendly and encouraging staff make it an incredible training environment. Hats off to Dave and the team at Vida, keep up the good work.read more

Results guaranteed! That’s what I like about the ethos of the Vida gym. I was reminded of this today—one of those new... year sessions that aren’t quite a good as I remember from last year. One of the PTs was working knee stretches with someone on the floor. I remember when he first did that with me—it hurt so much as the trigger point activated. I did the same exercise in my warm up to dead lifts and no pain (in that spot). A reminder as I set my goals for the new year that results do come through.read more

Vida's not my closest gym (by far) but of the few gyms I've been to this is by far the best. Plenty of equipment... (cardio and free weights) so you never have to wait or pause your workout. Great people too - I'm engaged in a PT program and smashing my goals much much faster than if I was trying to do it by myself. Would definitely recommend.read more
