Vervelife Gears Up to Energize Lagos Fitness Community

Africa’s leading payment card brand, Verve, has announced that the grand finale of VerveLife 8.0, the continent’s biggest fitness and lifestyle festival, will take place on November 1, 2025, at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

After hosting a series of lively satellite events in Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya, the Lagos finale will serve as the ultimate celebration of this year’s edition — a day filled with fitness, music, fun, and positive energy, uniting thousands of fitness enthusiasts, wellness advocates, and lifestyle lovers from across Africa.

According to Tomi Ogunlesi, Divisional Head, Brands, Communications, Content, and CSR at Interswitch Group, VerveLife has grown over the past eight years into a pan-African platform for community, wellness, and empowerment.

With the theme “Elev8”, the 2025 edition encourages participants to push boundaries, embrace vitality, and live brighter — reflecting Verve’s mission to promote holistic health and happiness. “VerveLife is more than just a fitness event; it’s a lifestyle movement that celebrates energy, resilience, and unity,” Ogunlesi said. “Through VerveLife 8.0, we’re not only elevating fitness but creating experiences that connect people across the continent.”

The event will kick off at 7:00 a.m. with VerveLife’s signaturey high-energy fitness part, featuring top African trainers, dance instructors, and wellness experts. Attendees can also enjoy obstacle course challenges, lifestyle and nutrition classes, wellness talks, breakout sessions, and even a kiddies’ corner for families.

The excitement continues into the night with the VerveLife 8.0 After Party at 7:00 p.m., featuring electrifying performances from leading African artists and DJs — promising an unforgettable celebration of music, movement, and community.

VerveLife 8.0 is powered by Verve in collaboration with partners such as Google Play, Interswitch, Quickteller, Hygeia HMO, Carloha Chery, Reelfruit, Pocari Sweat, Amstel Malta, and Africa Sport Network, ensuring a premium experience for all participants.
