To everyone taking on Deadly Dozen this weekend... GOOD LUCK! 💪🔥

You’ve done the training. You’ve put in the reps. You’ve had the sessions where everything felt great and probably a few where you wondered what on earth you’d signed yourself up for. 😂

Now it’s time to go out there and enjoy it.

Remember, your time is your time. Whether you’re chasing a PB, taking on your first Deadly Dozen, competing with a partner or simply determined to cross that finish line, be proud that you showed up and gave it a go.

And remember, you aren’t in this alone.

There’s a whole community of people sweating, struggling, pushing and cheering alongside you.

So when you're finished, come back here and share your time in the comments! 👇

Let’s celebrate the PBs, the first-timers, the “I survived!” finishes and everything in between.

Sterkte! Go have fun, give it everything and show yourself what you're capable of. 💪

Stronger Not Older. Together.

Going on holiday doesn't mean your training has to go on holiday too. ✈️

One of the things I love about online coaching is that you can train with me from pretty much anywhere.

At home.
At your local gym.
In a hotel gym.
Or even while you're travelling.

You get access to an app with a fully customised training programme created specifically around your fitness level, goals, needs and the equipment you have available.

And you're not left wondering, “Wait... how am I supposed to do this exercise again?” 😅

Each exercise comes with a video demonstration, so you can see exactly what you need to do before you start.

This isn't a generic workout downloaded off the internet. It's your programme, designed for you.

So whether you're travelling for work, heading away on holiday, don't live in Pretoria, or simply prefer training on your own schedule, you can still have structure and direction wherever you are.

Geen verskonings because your coach can basically fit in your pocket. 😉📱

The body you have at 70 is being built by the choices you make today. 💪

Getting older is inevitable. Getting weaker without putting up a fight doesn’t have to be.

Every time you choose to move your body, lift weights, eat well, drink enough water, prioritise sleep and look after your health, you’re making an investment in your future self.

Because strength training isn’t only about how you look now.

It’s about being able to climb the stairs when you’re 70.
Carry your own shopping.
Get yourself up off the floor.
Travel.
Play with your grandchildren.
Keep doing the things you love.
And most importantly, maintain your independence for as long as possible.

You don’t suddenly decide at 70 that you’d like a strong body.

You build it now.

So whether you’re 35, 45, 55, 65 or beyond, it’s never too early or too late to start taking care of the person you’re becoming.

Ons word almal ouer. Let’s make sure we’re getting Stronger Not Older while we do it. 💪

That rest between sets? I haven't forgotten about you. 😏

When I tell you to rest for 30, 60 or 90 seconds, there is a reason for it.

Rest is part of your training.

Your muscles need time to recover between sets so you can perform the next one with good technique, control and enough effort to actually challenge yourself.

The amount of rest I give you will depend on what we're working towards.

💪 Shorter rest periods can help keep the intensity up and challenge your muscular endurance and fitness.

🏋️ Longer rest periods give you more time to recover when we're working with heavier weights or movements that require more strength and focus.

Without enough recovery, your form can start to suffer, you may not be able to lift as effectively, and those last few sets can turn into simply trying to survive them.

And no, longer isn't always better either. Five minutes chatting between every exercise probably isn't part of the programme. 😂

Just like the exercises, weights and reps I choose for you, your rest periods are intentional too.

That's the difference between simply going to the gym and following a personalised training programme designed around your goals.

So when I say, "You've got 60 seconds”, use them.

Breathe. Recover. Grab some water.

Because we're going again. 😉

Every body belongs in the gym. 💪

Look around this room and you’ll see different ages, different bodies, different fitness levels and different goals.

Some people want to lose weight.
Some want to build muscle.
Some want to improve their fitness.
Some are training for an event.
Some simply want to move better, feel healthier and have more energy for everyday life.

And every single one of those goals matters.

You don’t need to be fit before you start training. You don’t need to lift what the person next to you is lifting. And you definitely don’t need to look a certain way to belong here.

Start where your body is today.

Then we work on getting it a little fitter, a little healthier and a little stronger.

Week by week. Rep by rep. At your own pace.

Dis lekker to watch a room full of people working towards becoming better versions of themselves.

Because Stronger Not Older isn’t about being the strongest person in the room.

It’s about being stronger than you were before.

There is no such thing as the "perfect workout."

There is only the right workout for YOU.

That is why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all programmes.

Your training should be based on what you want to achieve.

🏃 Training for your first 10 km, half marathon or marathon? Your programme should improve your running while reducing your risk of injury.

💪 Preparing for HYROX, Deadly Dozen or another fitness event? You'll need a completely different approach that builds strength, endurance and resilience.

🍑 Want to build muscle or tone up? We'll focus on progressive strength training and proper nutrition.

❤️ Need the strength to help care for a parent, partner or child? We'll train for the movements you use every day.

🚶 Want to stay independent as you get older? We'll improve your strength, balance, mobility and confidence so you can keep doing the things you love for years to come.

Your goals are unique.

Your body is unique.

Your training should be too.

That's what personalised coaching is all about. We build a programme that works for your body, your lifestyle and your future.

Because getting Stronger Not Older looks different for everyone.

Let's find out what it looks like for you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about personal training?

That it’s all hard work, shouting, and sore muscles.

Yes, we train hard.
Yes, we challenge ourselves.
But we also laugh. We celebrate every win. We support each other. And we enjoy the process.

Fitness should never feel like a punishment.

Whether you’re working towards your first pull-up, building strength, improving your fitness, or simply wanting to feel healthier, you’re surrounded by people who want to see you succeed.

That’s what I love most about coaching.

It’s not just about helping people get stronger physically.
It’s about helping them become more confident, more capable, and part of a community that celebrates progress, no matter where you’re starting from.

No judgement.
No comparing.
Just showing up, putting in the work, and getting a little stronger every week.

That’s what Stronger Not Older is all about.

I once heard someone say they do squats so they can still get on and off the toilet independently when they are older.

That stuck with me.

Because that is what training should really be about.

Not just six packs.
Not just shrinking yourself.
Not just chasing a “summer body”.

It should help you live your life better.

You should train so you can:
✔ Carry your own shopping bags
✔ Climb stairs without getting out of breath
✔ Pick up your grandchildren one day
✔ Travel without struggling
✔ Get up off the floor confidently
✔ Stay independent for as long as possible

That is the real goal.

Fitness does not need to consume your life. It should support the life you want to live.

That is what Stronger Not Older means to me.

What is one thing you want your body to still be able to do in 20 years’ time? 💪

24/04/2026

If you want a stronger core, you don’t need fancy equipment.
You need the right exercises, done properly.

Here are 3 of my go-to core movements:

1️⃣ Dead Bug
This one looks simple, but it works if you slow it down.
Control every rep, keep your lower back pressed into the floor, and focus on stability.

2️⃣ Oblique V-Up
More advanced, so don’t rush into it.
Great for targeting your obliques and building strength through your sides.

3️⃣ Pallof Press
One of the best for core stability.
It teaches your body to resist rotation, which is key for protecting your spine and improving overall strength.

Your core is not just about abs.
It is about stability, control, and supporting every movement you do.

Train it properly and everything else improves.

Stronger. Not older.

If you want help building a stronger, more capable body, I’ve got you.
