Virtus Personal Training

About Virtus

Virtus Personal Training was founded in 2021 by Jem Burke. His main motivation for starting the business was to help people grow both physically and mentally, as these aspects are closely connected and mutually reinforcing. By training efficiently, you not only become stronger and healthier but also gain more energy and confidence.

Everyone’s personal goals are different, and so is the approach. At Virtus, Jem aims to lower the barrier to entry by providing training in a relaxed atmosphere that fosters personal growth.

About Jem

Movement has always been a central theme in Jem’s life: martial arts, circus, dance, acrobatics, strength training, archery, obstacle courses, hiking—you name it!

He has been teaching for over 15 years, primarily in martial arts, and in 2021 he took the step to further his education and deepen his expertise in personal training.

He is also the founder and head instructor of ‘Invirtus,’ a H.E.M.A. association, as well as a kickboxing instructor and a certified Animal Flow instructor. He continues to take additional courses each year to expand his knowledge.

Our vision

The best program is one that delivers results. It challenges you, but in a way that’s sustainable. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on variety, enjoyment, and education, so you can train safely and effectively—whether at home or in the gym.

What sets us apart? Our focus on empathy. We understand that no two people are the same, and no one is just a number. That’s why we create programs tailored to your specific needs, limitations, and goals. Most importantly, we genuinely care about your success.

All our exercises and programs are grounded in scientific research. We don’t simply follow the latest trends, instead, we look for ways to incorporate new findings. We’re open to many forms of exercise, especially those that help you enjoy movement and achieve your goals.

We combine solid expertise with a personalized approach to ensure the perfect fit for your individual needs. Movement is our passion, and when you take care of your body, it will take care of you.
