Our story

Forty years in the same town

THE GYM opened its doors in 1985 — before the franchises, before the neon, before gyms needed marketing departments. Generations of Meyerton have trained here: your mom, your uncle, probably your old PT teacher.

Today it's under new management with old-school values: a proper gym where the staff greet you by name, families train together without it costing a fortune, and the price on the wall is the price you pay.

The big chains sell you an image. We sell you a gym.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Daily, weekly and monthly options are available — cash! The monthly, 3, 6 and 12-month contracts exist only because they save you money, not to trap you — cancelling just takes one calendar month's notice. To be completely honest, we do want to trap you — your health depends on it!

What does it cost to start?

Your first month (pro-rata if you join mid-month) plus a once-off joining fee — R130 per person for one or two people, with family rates for bigger groups. The kiosk or the front desk gives you the exact figure in seconds.

How do family packages work?

Everyone goes on one package with one payment. Three people save 10%, four save 15%, and the fifth trains free. Any mix — parents, scholars, students, grandparents.

Do students and scholars need proof?

Yes — a valid student card (or school age for scholars) gets the R340 rate. Pensioner rates work off your ID.

Debit order or cash — what's the difference?

Debit order is our best price. Cash or EFT is R40 more per person per month, purely because of the admin. Same gym, same access.

Can I join online?

Yes — hit Join online, build your price, tap "I'm in", and we'll finish the paperwork when you walk in. Two minutes, tops.
