A private gym with strength, conditioning and combat training, The Fort is one of my favourite finds in the city. It’s a safe and welcoming space to train no matter your fitness level. I joined for the personal boxing lessons and I was instantly hooked. No contracts, plus they have gear available for newbies. It’s such a great vibe and energy. I came for a free lesson and I never left. I’d give it more than five stars if I could.

This year I started my fitness journey at the Fort in order to lose weight and be healthier. They have been amazing in teaching me the fundamentals of lifting and dieting. As I have progressed month on month, they have gone further to assist in developing a program that fits my fitness goals. It has been a great experience working with the staff and would recommend it for beginners like me who want to learn how to lift but also for more experienced lifters who are looking at improving form and learning new techniques.

I love training at The Fort. It always has a positive vibe and the trainers really push you to your limit. I found my love for boxing at The Fort. I love starting my mornings here, it just puts me in a good mood.

Loved every second of being at The Fort Cape Town. The trainers are always prepared and are able to adapt to their clients really well. The environment cultivates a motivational culture and often find clients cheering each other on!

An incredible space with great coaches. All workouts are personalised to your own goals. If you’re looking for a great vibe and an fun workout then check them out.

I've never really been a "gym person" but I liked the idea of having semi-private lessons with a coach that was willing to start from scratch with me, literally from 0. I've been at The Fort almost a year now and it's honestly changed every aspect of my life. It's given me a sense of routine and I'm infinitely stronger than I have ever been. No matter what your goal is when it comes to physical strength and fitness, the coaches at The Fort will work closely with you to make sure you're on the right track. It's also got the best soundtrack of any gym in the country. Except maybe The Fort Joburg.

From the outside The Fort Gym may look intimidating and exclusive. Upon entering you’ll be happy to find that it is such a safe and welcoming space to anybody. It is open with great lighting, a healthy supply of fresh air and really cool decor. I went for a boxing trial with Liam G and couldn’t recommend it more! The class was detailed and catered to my level and understanding but was still fun and challenging. So if you’re looking for a fun new way to stay fit and healthy, try boxing at The Fort Gym!

Amazing intimate gym with a great feel of the roots of boxing with the old school adverts of boxing matchups. It has everything you need in a boxing gym. The best part I’d have to say is the skilled boxing coaches who can adapt their style to fit and coach someone who has a completely different style of boxing.
