About Hiit Republic
Hiit Republic is Viva Leisure's brand for high-intensity, class-based functional training with 24-hour access. It was launched as a standalone boutique concept, but Viva found it worked better alongside its Club Lime gyms and is moving it to a club-within-a-club model inside selected Club Lime sites instead of opening new standalone studios. There were 16 Hiit Republic locations at 30 June 2026, all corporate, with weekly memberships of A$49 to A$60. It is run by HIIT Republic Australia Pty Limited, wholly owned by Viva.
