Meet the Dream Team

Biokineticists: The comeback kings & queens
Stubborn injuries and conditions can be a real pain (literally). Our Biokineticists are here to get you back to top form. They’ll create a personal exercise plan to get you moving and walking around like you’re the main character. Oh, and if you need one of those fancy Discovery Vitality or Momentum Fitness Assessments, they’ve got that sorted, too.

Physiotherapists: For those aches and pains
Physios are like detectives but for your body. They’ll figure out why you’re in pain, fix it, and ensure it doesn’t creep back like an ex who won’t take the hint. They’ll sort you right out from dodgy knees to stiff backs and everything in between. And we’re adding more Physios to clubs nationwide, so if you don’t spot one near you yet, hold your horses.

Dietitians: The food whisperers
Struggling with your diet? Want to fuel up like an athlete or stop feeling like a sack of spuds? Our Dietitians craft personalised meal plans that work (so no, you don’t have to live off kale and misery). They’ll assist with weight management, sports nutrition, and even chronic conditions while ensuring your food still tastes like food. Book to see a dietitian at our Rosebank, Lonehill, Centurion, Middelburg, Boksburg K90, Pietermaritzburg, Gateway and Cascades clubs. We also offer an online dietitian service if that suits you better.

Chiropractors: The spine wizards
If your back gives you grief, your neck is doing a great impression of a brick wall, or you want to stand up straighter, you need a Chiro. They’ll sort out your spine, improve your posture, and even throw in some ergonomic tips so your desk job doesn’t turn you into the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Find them at our Melrose Arch, Richards Bay, La Lucia and Moses Mabhida clubs.

Massage Therapists: The recovery and relaxation gurus
Massage therapy isn’t just about getting pampered (although it is a bonus). It helps relieve stubborn aches, improves circulation, and loosens those tight joints to get you moving like a well-oiled machine. It’s basically maintenance work for your body, just more relaxing.

Book an appointment with them at our Athlone, Waterstone Village, Lonehill, Middelburg, Menlyn, Boksburg K90, Little Falls and Moses Mabhida clubs.

Right then, time to get moving!
Your body is your lifelong ride, so why not treat it like a high-performance sports car rather than a clapped-out old banger? From expert advice to a relaxing massage, we’ve got the professionals to get you back in top form.
