EXCELLENT Based on 41 reviews Posted on Google Michelle NormanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently started my fitness journey at BoundFit and it has been incredible. Sinethemba's 12h30 classes are intense but so worth it he pushes you to your limits while being genuinely supportive every step of the way. I was intimidated walking in seeing all these fit people, but that feeling disappears the moment you start. Ruan has created an amazing, encouraging environment that makes you want to keep showing up. We are our own worst enemies just go, you won't regret it. Highly recommend! 💪🏽Posted on Google Ewoudt CloeteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well-priced and highly involved training. Fun community that's high energy, so if that's the type of experience you're after, you should feel right at home.Posted on Google shaun michaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Recently started HYROX training and I have to say that BOUNDFIT is elite! So much comraderie, community and unmatched intensity in the gym! Super proud to be apart of the BOUNDFIT Family. YeeewwwwwwPosted on Google Barbie ErasmusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I so appreciate the leadership and culture of our gym space!Posted on Google Neil BarnardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am in my 40's and started looking at getting myself healthier, and getting rid of the extra kilos. So I tried a few places... None of them had the warm welcome, or the level of coaching that Ruan, Lohan and Joanne brings. They are just superb. Everybody in the classes are friendly and always willing to help out if you get stuck, or just need a little motivation. I can not recommend BOUNDFIT more!Posted on Google Joshua SmedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great coaches, tough workouts, friendly gym-goers! I can definitely recommend BoundFit to anyone looking for their next gym!Posted on Google Suzie GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s an amazing gym with a great community. Their slogan is ‘where social meets sweat’. Very true, the workouts are tough, but everyone is there to cheer you on. There are different classes that one can choose from: Hyrox, strength, cardio etc. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Megan Loftie-EatonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BoundFit is amazing! The classes are fantastic and programmed with care and thought. I can feel how much stronger I've become since starting at BoundFit, my running has improved (no injuries!). Ruan and all the other coaches at BoundFit are awesome and they really care about every individual. BoundFit feels like a family.Posted on Google Sarah YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
