Are you tired of your regular gym routine, of doing the same routine over and over again, just to see mediocre results at best?
Are you intimidated by all the weird equipment you see standing in the weight room and wonder what it is good for?
Are bored from spending countless hours on the treadmill or stationary bike, but not getting anywhere?
Are you frustrated about that little cushion of fat on your belly or under your arms that just won't go away, no matter how much time you spend in your health club?
That comes to no surprise to us. We, the personal trainers at Cape CrossFit know all about this intimidation, tiredness, boredom and frustration. This is why we offer a program that will get you out of this:
- Routine is the enemy, so we develop different workouts everyday, to get you the best results you can get. It is actually the smartest way of training: Your body will adapt to any routine which will inhibit improvements and results. With personal training, at Cape CrossFit, this is never going to happen and not only are all the workouts exciting, but you will also get the most results out of them.
- Cape CrossFit is a gym unlike any other in Cape Town. We have lots of open space to move about and perform a ton of different movements. No weird equipment at all. All the excercises are very functional and transfer very well to real life: Climbing stairs and carrying groceries will become remarkably easier after just a few workouts.
- The workouts at Cape CrossFit are short and intense, which leaves no room for boredom. Yes, you will sweat and have to work hard to get the results you want, but it is usually for around 15 minutes at the most in each session. No boring routines like mindless grinding on a stationary bike, but fun and usefull exercises with bodyweight or barbells.
- Personal training at Cape CrossFit is designed first and foremost to get you results. These are not guranteed, but earned. And this is exactly what we help you with. CrossFit is the proven to be the most effective, efficient and safe method to improve fitness and getting you results. Our trainers use CrossFit to make sure that you get the most out of every minute invested in your training.
Cape CrossFit hosts the best personal trainers you can find in Cape Town. Why would you want to settle for anything less?
One word of caution though: This is not an easy program. In order to get results, you will have to put in the work. In order to help the most people and not waste our time, we are only looking for people who are REALLY interested in improving their health and fitness and getting great results.

Roland and Jobst did not hesitate when asked to provide a free training session for the boys at Margaret’s House. Taking the boys through a Saturday morning session, I was impressed with their interaction and encouragement. They taught the correct way to do squats, push ups, box jumping and ‘kettle-bell’ swinging. Without bombarding the boys with too much information, the value of exercising was brought across. After some fast paced sessions incorporating all four exercises, everyone realised how just a little activity each day can make such a difference. The session was enjoyable and encouraging to the boys and I hope they will be back to teach some more. |
I just concluded my travels to CrossFit Mecca this past week end. Overall I made two trips and traveled a total of about 13 weeks, attending seminars, visiting other CrossFit gyms and judging at the CrossFit Games 2009.
