Our Studio
We are a Fat loss and transformation fitness studio. Our training style is mainly HITT (High intense interval training) based, and with this, we assist our members in reaching their fitness goals. With 10 classes daily, we supply our members with the flexibility to train when it suits them best. We can accommodate 32 members per class during regular circumstances, but currently, with COVID, our protocols have slightly changed.
We strive to make every day’s workout unique and fun, ensuring you work all the areas needed to reach those fitness goals.
We cater for all level of fitness, and members work within their own capabilities when it comes to certain exercises. Our coaches will explain the workout and movements for all levels (1 – 3) and ensure you have the correct form throughout the training. At the end of each class, we huddle and say “HUA!” This means results in Maori.
“Finally, A Gym Culture Where Everyone is Welcome. Where you don’t feel like just a member but part of a family!”
We believe that all clients are part of our fitness family. We have a fun, but effective approach to our coaching style and will ensure you work hard to reach your goals. We cater for all shapes and sizes. With various levels (level 1 – 3) of each exercise, everyone works within their own capabilities.

Juan Nel
Owner and coach
Born 30 March 1991. Graduated from Brackenfell High in 2009. Sport played a big part in his life, and this sparked his love for fitness. With his rugby history, he learned the value of teamwork and discipline, where most of his confidence originated. He Studied Management and Project Management at CPUT and a TriFocus personal training course while working for the previous owner of ForeverStrong Brackenfell.
“I have fallen in love with my work, and I loved my job. I loved the fact that I am helping people become a better person, mostly inside, but outside. I love the fact that I can motivate and encourage people to live a healthier life. To learn them the tools on a healthy lifestyle and just build their confidence to a whole new level. Man, I had an AWESOME job.”
He has always thanked God for our creator for all his blessings and putting him in the fortunate position to now be the owner of ForeverStrong Brackenfell. He believes the success of his branch comes from the two RR’s: Relationship and Results. This is where the FAMILY culture originated.
Don’t be afraid to say “hi!” to this always smiling guy. He will always make time for you but don’t slack on the mat as he will easily add a 400m jog to the finisher.
Esjee Fourie
Manager & Coach
Born 23 May 1993 – Graduated from Belville high in 2011, but the majority of his high school career was at Paar Boy’s High. With rugby and athletics as his sports favourites. As a yang adult, he soon fell involve with fitness and training and slowly build up his “garage gym”. Fitness helped him cope with anxiety, and so a new chapter in his life started. He went to study fitness at ETA in Stellenbosch and whilst he was studying he worked part-time for a supplement company as a sales consultant. After his studies, he worked at Virgin Active and soon after joined the FSPT family.
He recently started pursuing his second passion for Foreign Exchange Markets more permanently.
“Fitness will always be my first passion because it has taught me so much about life itself. I’ve learned that without “resistance” in a workout, whether it’s weight training, stretching or whatever if you don’t push yourself (alongside proper nutrition), your body will struggle a lot to make any progress. I apply that to life as well, because all of the hardships or whatever resistance we face, if we stay focused and do our part, that resistance will soon become our new base of support level”.
He will encourage you to push harder, and before you know it, a new (heavier) weight will be in front of you.
