VerveLife, one of the flagship lifestyle initiatives of Verve, Africa’s leading domestic payment card and tokens brand, is back for its 8th edition, themed “Elev8.” More than a fitness event, VerveLife has evolved into a continental cultural movement, bringing together thousands of Africans through fitness, wellness, music, and community. This year, VerveLife will inspire participants to elevate their bodies, minds, and lifestyles like never before.
The 2025 VerveLife season kicks off on August 30 in Enugu, with subsequent stops in key cities including:
- Ibadan – Tabata Fit Festival (September 13)
- Uyo – Uyo Fitness Festival (September 20)
- Abuja – VerveLife (September 27)
The season continues with the 6000 Secs Challenge on October 4, before extending to East Africa with events in Nairobi, Kenya, and Kampala, Uganda.
This year’s grand finale promises to be the biggest yet, taking place at the Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos, where thousands of “Vervelifers” from across the continent will converge for an elevated celebration of fitness and lifestyle.
In addition to its signature attractions — high-energy workouts, healthy food, unlimited music, breakout sessions, kiddies’ corners, and obstacle courses — VerveLife 8.0 will debut focused masterclasses, led by top fitness and lifestyle experts, equipping participants with practical tools for healthier living.
Since its inception, VerveLife has consistently merged fitness with fun, creating a community-driven platform that promotes healthier lifestyles while celebrating African resilience and culture. With its 8th edition, VerveLife is reaffirming its mission to “Elev8” Africa’s fitness and lifestyle culture — one city, one community, and one shared experience at a time.
