This year, a new fitness dawn has broken. The kids are ignoring Saturday-morning hangovers and hitting the ground running literally. Sunday-brunch mimosas are only served after breaking a sweat.
2025 is the year of the hybrid athlete, with running clubs and global fitness phenomenon Hyrox taking centre stage.
The biggest theme is community and inclusivity, and leading this movement is Joburgs Vault Strength Club. I believe we are the biggest fitness club in Africa, founder Tebogo Mahange says, laughing. I remember messaging each of my mates in April 2024 to come running on a Saturday morning at Melrose Arch we usually trained at Moove. I come from the content-creation space, so I hit up a videographer and photographer.
