It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of JC Steyn on Tuesday 7 October 2008 after a long illness. JC was an inspiration to all of us that knew him and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Throw away your sweatband that looks as if you’re walking straight out of the 80`s movie Xanadu,
and get something REAL-
but please don`t let us catch you doing concentration curls or some other woozy exercises with this bandana on –
we’ll rip it from your head, possibly taking some hair and skin with it in the process.
That’s just the way it is, nothing you can do about it !!

Reg Park sadly passed away on Thursday. He will be remembered as the guru of all South African gymrats.
Our condolences to Jon Jon and all his family.
Nag, ou Grote! Rest in Peace!
We want all the strongmen, powerlifters, weightlifters and everybody who is serious about hardcore, balls-to-the-walls training to join us.
We don’t just want anybody because we`re not like everyone in the gym. WE DON`T DO NORMAL !!
If you just do “some light training to stay in shape” we don`t understand you. In fact, when you’re in the gym – you`re probably in our way.
If you`re psycho -obsessed about your workout, we understand. Our eyes bleed too. If your woman ( or man ) threatens to leave you because you`re ” unbalanced ” we can relate and you will fit in with us like a 50 kg plate on a fat bar !!
Welcome to the underground!
