Bad day at the office? 
One coached hour, before work or after, with guys in the same stage of life. No fitness needed to start. Your first month is R99 — but first, come try a class for free.

Does this sound like you?
Monday. Traffic on the N1 before 7. Targets by Friday. Supper, homework, bedtime, and somehow it's 21:30 and you're on the couch with the whole day still sitting in your shoulders.
The social life is braais and beers. Good ones. But nobody at the braai is getting fitter.
You've said "next month" since January. The home gym became a clothes rack. The running shoes are still clean.
You don't need motivation, a plan, or a fitness level. You need one coached hour, a set time, and a crew that expects you to pitch. We've been giving Pretoria men exactly that for 14 years.
Book my free introImagine…
- Walking out at 06:00 having already done the hardest thing you'll do today.
- A rower, a barbell and an hour where nobody needs anything from you.
- Guys your age who greet you by name and notice when you don't pitch.
- Driving home after work already lighter, instead of carrying the day into the house.
- Being the dad who can still keep up at the end of the year.
Who this is for
- Men 35 to 50 with a desk job, a family, and not much time.
- You haven't trained properly in years (or ever). That's most of us.
- You've heard CrossFit is for 25-year-old athletes. It isn't. Every workout is scaled to you.
- You want mates, not mirrors.
- You can give us 3 hours a week: 05:00, 06:00, 06:30 or after work.
Not for you if you want to train alone with earphones in, or you're looking for a machines-only gym.
To actually get fit after 35 you need…
- A coach in the room, every single session.
- Workouts scaled to your fitness, not someone else's.
- A fixed time slot so it happens before life gets in the way.
- People at the same stage of life, so it's fun enough to keep showing up.
- A zero-risk way to find out if it's for you.
What if we gave you all of it?
- Coached classes Mon–Fri at 05:00, 06:00, 06:30 and after work. Saturdays 08:00.
- Scaled to you from day one. You compete against yourself only.
- A crew of members, many of them 35+, who've been exactly where you are.
- First month R99, no contract, doesn't renew. October sign-ups only, closes 31 October.
- A free intro class before you pay a cent.

Your coaching team
A legacy of over 14 years in Rietondale, and a coaching team that is passionate about people. We meet you where you are, at every fitness level, and help you through every step: your first intro, your first week, and every class after that. Every session is coached, every movement is scaled to you, and you'll be greeted by name.
Questions everyone asks
I'm not fit enough to start.
Nobody is. Every movement has an easier version. You start where you are and the coach adjusts the weight, the reps and the pace for you.
Isn't CrossFit dangerous?
Badly coached anything is dangerous. Here a coach watches every class, technique comes before weight, and we go up slowly. That's why we've been open for 14 years.
What happens at the free intro?
You come to a normal class, the coach walks you through the movements, you do a scaled version of the workout with everyone else, and you meet the crew. About an hour. No sales pitch.
What does the R99 month include?
A full month of unlimited coached classes. It's a once-off trial month for new members, no contract, it doesn't renew. After that you choose a normal membership if you want to stay.
Which times?
Mon–Thu 05:00–17:30, Fri 05:00–15:30, Sat 08:00. Busiest for the 35+ crowd: 05:00, 06:00, 06:30 and the after-work slots.
What do I bring?
Training clothes, takkies, water. That's it.
Where are you?
77 Lys Street, Rietondale, Pretoria. Safe parking on site.
The intro is free either way.
