Testimonials

At the age of 57, I was diagnosed with low bone mass based on low T-scores in my right femoral neck, right hip, and lower spine, consistent with osteopenia. My doctor recommended that I start walking, which I did, but my progress was very slow. At the age of 59, I joined Fit Republic (Reboot) to incorporate functional fitness and strength training into my routine, hoping to improve my bone density. My most recent bone density scan, at the age of 62 years and 4 months, showed normal bone mass. My bone density is now above the minimum desirable level at every skeletal site tested. This wouldn't have been possible without consistency, a well-balanced training program, and coaches who guided and supported me every step of the way. Thank you, Fit Republic, from the bottom of my heart.

I never thought I’d enjoy going to the gym in my early 40s! My very first session was incredibly tough—I could barely catch my breath, and I’m sure everyone thought that would be my first and last workout. Now I’m in my second year and I’m no longer the person who walked through those doors on day one. I’ve grown stronger, fitter and far more confident than I ever imagined. A special thank you to Dineo, who patiently encouraged me for almost a year before I finally joined. I’m also incredibly grateful to my coaches, Ina and Ronel, whose support, encouragement and belief in me have made all the difference. And to my amazing 07:15 ladies, thank you for creating such a supportive, motivating community that makes every workout enjoyable. FitRepublic has truly become my second home.

They say dynamite comes in small packages. Well double that and you get Ronel and Ina. Two amazing and dedicated ladies that bring so much positivity and energy to every session Since I started training with them, I have noticed major improvement in my mobility and I’m even attempting movements that I never thought I would be able to do at my age. With their gentle persuasion and constant encouragement, they have convinced me to do things I absolutely hate (burpees and running )included. Thank you Ina and Ronel for your motivation, patience and making exercise (almost) fun🤗🤣

The HYROX Sim Series hosted by Fit Republic

saturday 17 october 2026

The Fit Republic HYROX Simulation Series is a year-long race experience designed to mirror the intensity, structure, and challenge of an official HYROX event. Whether you’re preparing for competition or looking to test your fitness, each simulation provides a professionally run race environment that builds endurance, strength, confidence, and race-day readiness. Every finisher earns an exclusive event patch, while athletes who complete all four events in 2026 will receive a limited-edition Collector’s Patch to commemorate their achievement.

SIM 3 is your next opportunity to step onto the race floor, measure your progress, and continue your journey through the series.
