The time has come. CWG 2026🇿🇦

Today our athletes Cheyenne Smith Nico Du Plooy and coaches Darryn Anthony and Andrew Anthony fly out to represent South Africa at the 2026 Commonwealth Games after weeks of preparation, hard work and countless hours on the platform here at Performance Purist .

It’s been a privilege to be part of the journey right up until this mornings final training session. Now it’s time to step onto the international stage and show the world what South African weightlifting is made of and what it means to be a Purist!

Safe travels, lift big, trust the process and make the country proud.

We’re behind you every step of the way. 🇿🇦

Recently, Purist became home to the South African Weightlifting Team for a Training Camp ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. 🇿🇦🏋🏼

An even prouder moment for us is knowing that the National Head Coach leading the camp and the team to the Games is our very own Darryn Anthony and two of the athletes selected to represent South Africa, permanently call Purist home.

High performance isn’t something we switch on for a competition. It’s built through years of consistent coaching, relentless work and a commitment to doing the basics exceptionally well.

We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved and can’t wait to watch Team South Africa step onto the Commonwealth platform.

Go make us proud. 🇿🇦👊🏼

Strength is something you build.

Layer by layer.
Rep by rep.
Week by week.

At Purist, strength isn’t chaos or chasing a burn. It’s precision. Structured programming. It’s crossing the T’s & dotting the I’s. Coaching that actually knows what it’s doing.

We focus on the details most places overlook. Positions, tempo, control, progression done right. Because that’s where real strength is built.

Not just lifting heavier…
Doing it whilst moving better.
Becoming more capable.
Earning it.

That’s why our Strength & Conditioning classes don’t just fill up, they keep people coming back.

We build people who refuse to settle.

This is Purist.
