VYVE was co-founded by Lewis Vines after he came back from the hardest point of his life. We exist so that more people get the kind of support that saved him: earlier, closer to home, and on their good days as well as their hard ones.
In 2023, Lewis Vines was at the lowest point of his life, struggling with addiction and his mental health. What changed everything was the hardest and bravest thing he had ever done: talking honestly, first to himself and then to the people who mattered most.
He started The Everyman Podcast to share what he was learning. Over sixty episodes, guests including Premier League footballer Matthew Jarvis and performance expert Calum Denham talked openly about mental health, fitness, addiction, loss and identity. The same lesson came up again and again: mind, body and connection are one story, and support works best when it arrives early.
"I'd seen what happens when people don't get support early enough. I wasn't willing to just keep talking about it, so I built VYVE to do something about it."
Lewis Vines, Co-Founder and CEO of VYVE
VYVE is that lesson turned into a service: expert support for your mind, your body and the people around you, there before you need it, and for everyone, not just those who can afford a personal trainer or a private therapist.

Real experience and real expertise. Every part of VYVE is shaped by people who do this for a living.
Lewis is the driving force behind VYVE and the vision that shapes everything we build. After coming through the hardest point of his life, he set out to change how health support works: proactive, joined up across mind, body and connection, and there for people long before crisis. He leads our strategy, building VYVE to make proactive health the norm for everyone.
Dean turns Lewis’s vision into the product people use every day. He was there from the start of The Everyman Podcast and played a pivotal role in VYVE’s evolution from a podcast into a proactive health service. Today he leads our AI execution and workflows, building the platform that gets people the right support at the right time.
Calum brings the Body pillar of VYVE to life. A co-founder, personal trainer and coach with more than 10 years’ experience across bootcamps, one-to-one coaching and online support, he designed our physical health plans. His coaching methods are one of the foundations our AI Coach is trained on, so every member benefits from his expertise.
Alan takes VYVE’s vision to the organisations that need it most. An executive leader with a background spanning commercial, product and marketing, he shapes our commercial strategy and how we grow with employers and partners. He is driven by our ambition to change how health support works, with one joined-up, proactive service that helps people stay well.
Cole builds the community and partnerships that surround VYVE. With an extensive background in building relationships and supporting community causes, he leads how we welcome and onboard our partners, from the brands behind member rewards to the health experts who support our members. He makes sure every partnership adds real value for the people we serve.
There are plenty of wellbeing apps, EAPs and gym discounts. Most only help once something has gone wrong, and many go unused. VYVE was built from lived experience, not a benefits brochure.
