Inspiration often comes in the most unexpected way. After doubling the revenue of an international furniture company in 2 years, Niall was looking for a new challenge.

Having sourced items from overseas for the better part of a decade, Niall saw the resurgence of Strength and Conditioning equipment and saw an opportunity. He was asked by a friend to source equipment for the opening of a CrossFit box. Though the products were different, the process was the same- provide excellent products at a fair price.

Inspiration often comes in the most unexpected way. After doubling the revenue of an international furniture company in 2 years, Niall was looking for a new challenge.

Niall Wogan successfully sourced for the gym and added a few items to fill the container from overseas. His personal home garage was the first warehouse for the remaining stock and from it emerged a new brand that was customer centric and would promote health & fitness: VERVE, meaning vitality and great energy/enthusiasm.

The business was established in the Gold Coast in 2018 and launched in April 2019. Offering both home & commercial customers premium fitness equipment with big plans of branching out into the European market, and becoming a global fitness equipment company in the very near future.

VERVE Fitness is not just a fitness equipment brand, but rather a lifestyle brand that aims to inspire people to BE> in everything they do. BE Greater than you were yesterday, because tomorrow offers us the chance to be greater than we are today. Read more about the Be Greater Than concept on our blog.

Men's Health Month is a good reminder to pause and focus on what's important and what you can do to improve your quality of life, as life is short & nothing should be taken for granted.

Staying fit & healthy by attending CrossFit classes, riding bikes and playing tennis has been Niall’s way of keeping healthy. And this ties into his dream of VERVE Fitness.

VERVE was launched to satisfy the need for a lifestyle focused fitness equipment brand offering premium gear with a focus on outstanding customer service.

Niall has always enjoyed being active both physically and mentally, but does admit that sometimes we get too caught up with other things in life, and overlook the importance of taking care of our health.

So how does Niall keep his mind, body & soul healthy? Or should we say, how do you BE greater everyday?

Moving daily and lifting weights. Whether it’s a CrossFit class, lifting weight in his home gym or even riding bikes outdoors, all support his wellbeing.

He also aims to meditate regularly to keep the mind sharp and focused.

Spending quality time with family is a huge must! Life is precious and time goes by so quickly, so making sure you make time for your family is vital to live a happy, balanced life.

Eat the veggies! Any way to get the vegetables in, just get them in as they provide so much nutritious goodness that the body needs to be fuelled correctly. Niall will often make smoothies, jam packed with frozen berries, kale & spinach & his favourite plant based protein powder.

And finally, he likes to read! Whether it's podcasts or books, Niall has read several hundred books that inspire and educate him. Learning new things, challenging his way of thinking, pushes growth and inspires him to become a better version of himself.
