Welcome our new Lead Trainer, Coach Gerry aka “Mr Fantastic”!🦸🏻♂️
We’re excited to have finally found someone to take over the reins of what we believe is an amazing training experience, and in Coach Gerry someone with the capacity to focus solely on making every session in the Studio an epic fitness adventure! 🔥
SOME FACTS ABOUT GERRY:
Fitness background (short):
• My fitness journey started in 2008. I was a Virgin Active goer until October 2022, that’s when I found a better way to build more functional fitness 😉.
• Past 14 years I’ve combined functional fitness training, swimming & running to build a healthier version of myself. The last couple of months has been a combo of Concept Cardio and Hyrox.
Coaching background:
• Qualified Personal trainer since 2010.
• Virgin Active trainer + Group class instructor there for a few years.
• Then worked on a cruise ship as a personal trainer, yoga -, spinning- and pilates instructor and every other group exercise you can think of - legs, bums and tums, core classes, even Tai chi (but please don’t ask me to coach that again 😅).
Best thing about coaching Concept Cardio:
In a very short time I have really connected with the CC members, seeing them do things they couldn’t a couple of weeks ago makes me so happy and not a word of a lie, the members always puts me in a good mood.
What you look forward to the most in your role as Concept Cardio Lead Trainer:
• Helping people achieve things they didn’t think was possible at first.
• Getting more people to move towards a healthier and fitter version of themselves. All I ask is that they, just show up. I’ll help with the rest.
Favourite movement: Hmmm, there are so many. But I’ll go with Box Jumps.
Least favourite movement:
Double DB/KB thruster (I think I’m speaking on behalf of everyone in the studio, and the world. 😅
PS. Can I also mention that I have a love/loveless relationship with the hurricane bike..?

Give Coach Gerry a high five the next time you see him in thee Studio and let’s help him make Cape Town fitter!
