"Barend helped me get into shape for the toughest hike in South Africa! I saw results from his training week-to-week, and I definitely learnt a lot about how to train my body. When we wrapped up training, I was able to walk 106km over 6 days with 16kg on my back at 1000m daily elevation. Not only was the training effective and fun, but I also really enjoyed spending time with Barend. He is a very kind and supportive trainer with a positive energy that helps motivate!"

"When I first joined the gym as a beginner, Barend made me feel welcome and supported. He listened to my goals and created workouts that were effective, doable, and still challenging. His knowledge is really impressive, and his guidance, patience, and positive energy helped me gain confidence and actually enjoy working out. Highly recommend him!"

"Barend helped my wife and I train for South Africa's toughest hike, the daunting 106km Amatola Trail and because of his help we ended up having the best time on the trail and off, training for it."
