Strength and conditioning in Bloemfontein. Coached sessions from 05:30, six days a week.
Book a first session
Dries has coached in Bloemfontein since 2008 and has had the Kellner Street floor since 2016. The people on it are farmers off the Dewetsdorp road, nurses coming off night shift, two traffic officers, a handful of schoolkids and a lot of men and women over forty who want to carry their own feed bags. A session is an hour: fifteen minutes to warm up properly, forty on the programme written on the board next to your name, and five to write down what you actually lifted.
Doors at 05:00. The 05:30 and 17:00 groups warm up, work and are out inside sixty minutes.
A coach on the floor for every slot on the timetable. Nobody trains here alone with a phone.
Your name and your numbers go on the board. It changes every six weeks, not every morning.
Every session goes in the book, so what you lifted in March sits there against what you lift today.
Grew up on a farm outside Reddersburg and has been coaching lifting for eighteen years. Referees provincial powerlifting on the weekends he is not in here.
Ran 800m for Free State until her knee said otherwise. Writes the conditioning block and will not let anybody sandbag the last two minutes of it.
Biokineticist out of UFS. Takes every intake group, and everyone coming back off a shoulder, a back or a caesar.
Started here as a member at fifty-two and qualified at fifty-five. Has thirty-odd people deadlifting who were told they never would again.
