PROGRAMMING
Knowledge Based
Our programming is done by Former Royal Marines Commando, Leon Botha. Leon draws from 12 years of military experience being at and getting others to the pinnacle of human physical fitness, along with his extensive qualifications. This means that our programming is all encompassing and ensures that members see development in all areas while staying injury free.
Our programming is tailored specifically for the gym, taking into consideration the available space, equipment and the level of the class members.
Health Focus
Although WTB Fitness boasts a number of very high level athletes from the Ironman, Functional Fitness and Olympic Weightlifting worlds, our main focus is on the health of our members. Both immediate and later on in life.
That is why we have a good focus on strength training which increases bone density and muscular strength and thus prevents multiple age related diseases.
