We all would like to accept as true that we don’t make judgement on other people and their traits, but let’s face it, we’ve all made that comment on the stereotypical person somewhere…
…that tight vested oke at Tin Roof, or the slick boytjie cruising in at Tiger Tiger, ag no lekker my China, you well? Totes.
Well after getting to know my trainers over the last 2 weeks through sweat and tears, I’ve found out that their schooling goes far deeper than just CrossFit qualifications.
You’d think that trainers spend their days doing nothing but exercise, but these guys are just like you and I, and they all have the eight-to-fiver day job that we all use way to easily as an excuse to not train.
Leon & Ruan are chartered accountants. Andrew is a lawyer & Nic is a qualified teacher. These guys work the hours but still find time to lead classes and train mornings & evenings. They’re dedicated and hard working.
We have a motto here at Men’s Health headquarters: Live the brand. These guys do it.
’d like to offer our readers the chance to experience CrossFit and get to meet the team. Why not come join us for a session, try out the box and train with us, I sure as hell could use the help. Your first one will be free. Bring a friend, they have a smashing winter special at a discounted rate!
I’m serious, put yourself to trial with the CrossFit Baseline Test, it puts your fitness level to the test! You won’t regret it.

Can’t join us? why not try this WOD (Workout of the Day) we did plus two additional workouts. It’s the perfect 3-day routine at home and see how you do, it’s simple and the only gear needed is a skipping rope. I had to tackle this while I was away last week.
