Roark Gyms offers group classes as well as personal training at our facilities in Cape Town. Our gyms have workouts you’ll love with people you’ll love working out with.
We believe that what you do in the gym ripples into the rest of your life. Every time a workout gets hard and you push yourself past what you thought you were capable of you prove to yourself that when things get hard you don’t quit! As you strengthen your body you’ll also strengthen your mind.
During a 60 minute Roark class you can expect a dynamic warmup combined with strength training and some high intensity cardio work. This means that you get all the essential elements to get in great shape in every class you attend!
With a fascination in and enthusiasm for functional fitness, Frik has specialized in the intersection between being an athlete and wanting you to be able to play with your kids when you 8O. “The end goal is always to help someone be a better version of themself and to make fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone”.
Many women abandon their fitness plans when falling pregnant out of fear, but Frik specializes in both the maintenance, adjustment, and reintroduction of a fitness program to pregnant women.
