The Bloc is a friendly, community driven gym. We are here for YOU, the member. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable in a training environment that makes you excited to come back every day.

What we offer

CrossFit

CrossFit training is the core of what we do at The Bloc. Classes are well programmed and professionally coached in small groups to give each individual the attention they may need. All workouts are based on functional movements, reflecting the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, cardio and more. The coach will brief the class on the WOD (Workout of the Day), take you through a warm-up, teach you specific movements and new skills, then watch and coach you through the workout to ensure you're doing it safely and effectively. No two days are the same in CrossFit – so if you're looking to shake up your fitness routine, this is for you!

Personal training

All of our experienced coaches are available for one-hour one-on-one sessions, focusing on building skills, fitness or both.

Nutrition coaching

Training and good nutrition go hand in hand. The Bloc is also home to NutriFYI. While some of our packages offer nutrition coaching, Olivia is always available for personal nutrition coaching, meal plans and weight-loss programs. For more information: nutrifyi.co.za
