I've been with Ex Animo for 5 years (4 Opens) and it has changed my approach to exercise. I love it! This is a supportive and fun community. You can be any age or level and there is a space for you. I always achieve more than I thought I could and I'm stronger at 47 than I was at 27. Finally, they have great coffee.

Great community of people who love to train together. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a try.

An incredible place to workout. A warm community of people with a common goal to get fit and have fun doing it.

Ex animo has made fitness fun again. All the coaches are excellent and so good at motivatibg you and creating a comfortable environment so that they can help you achieve your fitness goals. The classes are the perfect size so that you do not get lost in the crowd and the support and encouragement you receive from the coaches and other members keeps you coming back. I would recommend Ex Animo to anyone who wants to improve their fitness.

I have been a member at Ex Animo for 4 years now. It is so much more than a Box, it is a family. we train hard, laugh hard and enjoy the time we spend together. Justin and his team are a world class set of coaches who are dedicated to not only making sure that you getting better and stronger and fitter everyday, but that you feel at home every time you walk into the Box. Justin offers personal one on one training (something that I have used for some time now) to build strength and technical proficiency. This has sent my CrossFit game through the roof and I am so grateful to him for his patience and dedication to make me a better CrossFitter and person.

Been to a couple boxes around SA and if you thinking of a place to call home could not recommend Ex Animo enough. A great mix of beginners and advanced athletes, young and old, men and women. Relaxed and fun atmosphere, supportive community, challenging programming and expert coaching.

Amazing place and coaches. I was in Johannesburg for a week and when I messaged about dropping in. They were quick to respond and help in any way possible. Highly recommend

Best place to train in Joburg!

Amazing coaching and very supportive and fun community

Welcoming and friendly vibe! Great box and coaching!

Professional and friendly coaches. Great fun and awesome workouts. Highly recommended!!!

My second family and my first home. Love this place and the people I get to workout with every day.

Having been to other gyms in the area, this is definitely the best.

Loved dropping in at CFXA! The programming was really fun and the coaching was great. Justin was very welcoming and helped me get setup. The space itself is very nice and well-equipped (including Assault Bikes ulgh, haha!). The community was top notch and made me feel included. I'd definitely drop in again the next time I'm in Johannesburg. For arriving, the box is easy to find. The team is super responsive (I reached out via Facebook Messenger) and was able to make sure I knew who to talk to when I arrived and how much cash I should bring for a drop-in plus t-shirt. (If you don't get a t-shirt, did you really drop-in?)

Unique experience. Justin totally invested in his clients. Making sure they train to perform better. Super Sundays to boerie rolls on Saturdays always organizing special events to keep fitness and nutrition alive and clients looking great. Huge big family. Once you join you belong.

Highly recommend! I joined as I needed to get back into fitness and this was definitely the place to do it. Though there are some amazing athletes even with my low level the atmosphere was welcoming and encouraging. Felt great to push myself and after sticking with it for a few months have been feeling completely different with my body. Somehow the team can be really lovely but push you hard with a warm smile on their faces haha Thanks a lot!!

Ex Animo is my home away from home. Friendly and enthusiastic people to train with. Great coaches and excellent programming has had me coming back day after day for six years (with two pregnancies in between). Also the coffee is top notch.

My wife and I stayed in Johannesburg for 10 weeks and worked out with Ex Animo for all of that time. Ex Animo has a great space, great equipment, great coaches, great programming, and great community. I am a Level 2 CrossFit coach and have been doing CrossFit for six years and I found Ex Animo's programming refreshing and exciting and all of the coaches exceptionally professional and hospitable. It was wonderful for my wife and I to have a CrossFit home away from home.

As a new starter to CrossFit, I have never felt more welcomed and comfortable. The coaches are more than helpful and knowledgeable, the box is amazing, and the people are so friendly. So excited to be apart of the Ex Animo Family! 10/10 would recommend!

Absolutely love training at Ex Animo! Coaches are awesome and so is the community. I have achieved so many goals training here. I never feel like just because I'm not a "pro" and can't do all the movements there isn't a place for me to still get the benefits of CrossFit!

As a newbie CrossFitter, I really enjoy Ex Animo for their great coaching - all the movements are clearly explained, scaled options are given and there is always lots of encouragement to help get through the WOD!

I've attended other crossfit studios and this place by far tops them all. Great coaches who explain movements clearly and a friendly atmosphere. Anyone from the the beginner to the experienced athlete will feel right at home ;)

First time trying CrossFit...ever! Honestly one of the best workouts.

Excellent. Great team. Good communication. Great crossfit experience

Can't believe it's been a year since joining CrossFit at Ex Animo. Completely out of my comfort zone and loving every minute of it. Great community, excellent and very patient coaches. I recommend it 100%!

Having been involved in various forms of training and sport my whole life, I have been quite interested in the CrossFit space. I took the plunge and joined Justin and his team at Ex Animo. What an epic box! Great people, great programming and the coffee isn’t bad either! I feel bad for my future calories…

Awesome box and people! Justin always goes the extra mile. Best crossfit experience in Jozi.

Awesome gym! Great workouts and amazing community! Highly recommended

Great box filled with lovely welcoming people. I started out as a drop in and now I come here every time I’m in Jo’burg.

If you’re looking for a box to call home this would be my pick. Astute coaches who quickly become your friends. A strong and friendly community has formed around Ex Animo, and they make any new joiner feel welcomed in no time.

Best box, best coaches, best vibe, best people!

This place has completely changed my life. I joined in January 2021 and have never looked back. I was very nervous at first, until I met a bunch of great, welcoming and enthusiastic people. The coaches are AMAZING, super supportive and extremely patient! This is home!!

Excellent coaching, friendly people, lots of times slots available to suit your schedule and social distancing is practiced. All equipment is sanitized after every use. If you are new to crossfit they scale all of the movements for you so you can gradually build up strength and fitness. Highly recommended

I am actually the owner, but the fact is I love every minute I spend in the box and I try to make sure thats reflected in the way we train you and the effort we put in to make sure it is run professionally. Pop in for a free trial class.

CrossFit Ex Animo is the greatest. The best coaches create the best atmosphere and programme the most awesome workouts. Highly recommend this place!!!

Intensive workout! You really get pushed to the limit. Then you get to be amazed at what your body can do! Love it

Great box to train at. Coaches are all very experienced and approachable. Programming is very good

One of my favourite places to train. The vibe and people are awesome. The skill ranges from beginners to advances lifters/CrossFitters. Anyone is welcome and they training will always be worth it.

Great group of people with great coaches.

Ex Animo has been my home for a few years now and it is awesome! The coaches are excellent, the programming is incredible and the community and family feeling is second to none. Come join us!
