Situated in the Wyndhurst neighborhood of Lynchburg, VIE Wellness Club is a peaceful escape where movement and mindfulness come together. This members-only studio is designed for those who want a thoughtful, intentional approach to wellness. With services like Reformer Pilates, personalized coaching, and recovery options, VIE creates a space that supports both the body and mind.
Tory Varricchione, owner of VIE Wellness Club, moved to Lynchburg to attend Liberty University, where she studied pre-med and business. Her goal was to combine those two passions to create something deeper than a typical gym experience. She envisioned a space where people could focus on intentional movement, healthy eating, and genuine community—a place where wellness means growing, connecting, and feeling your best. That vision became VIE Wellness Club.
A Studio Experience Designed to Calm and Center
The intentionality behind VIE Wellness Club is evident from the moment you step inside. Calming, neutral-toned interiors set the stage for a serene experience, while every carefully selected detail—from the curated equipment to the cozy textures—is designed to help you relax, refocus, and feel your best. But the story of VIE began well before the first Reformer machine was placed in the studio. It actually started with its name and vision.
Varricchione said the idea for VIE took shape during a trip to Paris last December. She and her husband felt it was the right time to bring her long-held dream to life: to create a wellness space rooted in holistic health and meaningful connection.
“I chose the name VIE because it means ‘life’ in French, which felt like the perfect reflection of what I wanted the studio to represent,” she said. “It also stands for Vitality, Intention, and Empowerment—the three pillars that guide everything we do. To me, VIE is about creating a space where movement and wellness are integrated into everyday life with purpose and joy.”
Varricchione envisioned more than just a workout space. She wanted a place where people could gather, connect, and feel supported in all aspects of their wellness journey—physical, mental, and spiritual. That’s why “Wellness Club” is part of the name. She imagined members chatting over beverages, unwinding together, and building relationships as they grew stronger in every sense of the word.
To bring that vision to life, she blended modern design with warm, homey elements—natural wood accents, soft linens, sherpa textures, olive branches, and cozy couches throughout the space. Whether you’re sipping something from the mini café or settling into a plush seat in the lobby to chat with a friend, there’s a sense of calm and comfort that feels intentional in every detail. The result is a space that feels like a sanctuary—not just for movement and recovery, but for connection and renewal.
Services Offered That Go Beyond the Basics
VIE Wellness places a strong emphasis on Reformer Pilates, utilizing specialized Reformer machines that support both recovery and injury prevention. Originally designed to aid in rehabilitation, these machines are now a cornerstone of VIE’s holistic approach—helping members build strength, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of injury before it happens. It’s this proactive philosophy that sets VIE apart, focusing not just on healing, but on creating a foundation of long-term wellness.
VIE goes beyond traditional fitness to offer a complete wellness experience for both mind and body. Their services include red light therapy, a 20- to 30-minute treatment designed to reduce inflammation, improve skin tone, and support healing.
They also offer the VIE Reset—a 40-day guided wellness program featuring weekly group meetings, daily challenges, Scripture-based reflections, and full access to all of VIE’s offerings.
In collaboration with another local business, Endura Wellness, VIE now provides weekly on-site IV drip therapy to enhance hydration and strengthen the immune system.
For those looking for a deeper transformation, VIE’s holistic wellness program focuses on optimizing metabolic function, rebalancing hormones, and restoring full-body vitality.
This four-month commitment begins with a 90-minute deep dive into your health story and goals, followed by bi-monthly coaching calls, monthly nutrition check-ins, lab testing, personalized interventions, a custom supplement protocol, practitioner-grade remedies, and exclusive supplement discounts—all designed to support your complete well-being.
Membership Options Designed With Flexibility in Mind
VIE is an exclusive, members-only wellness club that offers two flexible membership options. The 3-month membership is perfect for those who want to experience the benefits of VIE’s offerings without a long-term commitment, while the annual membership provides continued access and added value.
What truly sets VIE apart is the exceptional value it offers. Unlike many traditional Pilates studios that limit clients to 10 or 12 classes per month, VIE allows members—whether on a 3-month or annual plan—to attend an unlimited number of classes. This unlimited access reflects VIE’s commitment to helping members build a consistent wellness routine without limitations.
For those curious about Reformer Pilates or unsure about committing right away, VIE also welcomes drop-in guests. It’s a great way to explore the space, try a class, and see if the club’s holistic approach aligns with your wellness goals.
Community and Philosophy at the Heart of VIE Wellness Club
Across the country, there’s a growing movement in the wellness community—one that emphasizes injury prevention, the importance of intentional movement, healthy eating, and meaningful connection with like-minded individuals.
Varricchione was motivated by the growing wellness movement, but also wanted to bring something more intentional and community-centered to Lynchburg.
“My vision for VIE has always been to create a space where women feel supported in nourishing their bodies, staying active, and connecting with others in a meaningful way,” she said. “It’s about cultivating a lifestyle—not just a workout.”
