Laas jaar 1 September het ons begin met ‘n 6 weke challenge. Heel onfiks, oorgewig met skete en kwale. Na die eerste een het nog ‘n 6weke challenge gedoen en van daar is ons 3keer ‘n week elke week by IP Fitness.
In die laaste jaar het Kobus ‘n groot transformasie ondergaan. Van oorgewig, geweldige stress en lae rugpyn het hy 18kg verloor, hy hanteer stress beter. Lae rugpyn is weg en hy lyk ongelooflik goed.
Vir my het die wereld verander. Voor IP het ek gesukkel met ‘n erg asma bors, baie oorgewig, kroniese lae rug pyn agv 2 rugkussingkies wat gedisintegreer het, ‘n gebreekte regter bo arm in 2007 (plaat en 7 skroewe) maar het nooit rehab gedoen. My arm was baie swak en ek kon glad nie push ups doen of enige gewig op my arm sit nie. In die jaar het ek 15kg verloor. My lae rug pyn is weg, my suiker het gestabiliseer, my arm is sterker en my asma is so te se iets van die verlede.
IP Fitness is deel van ons normaal. Die atmosfeer, die oefening, die omgee. Saam suffer, resultate sien en jouself verbeter.
Dankie Bianca en Stephan dat julle altyd daar is en ons help om die beste weergawe van onsself te wees.
If you let it, This place will change you!

“Another 6 weeks challenge done and dusted. How far I have come. You all know I started my journey about 3 years ago with ForeverStrong Durbell doing their 6 weeks challenges. I lost a lot of weight, gained strength and confidence. The coaches are amazing and the owners are truly invested in your results.
My dear friend Jeanine Giot got me on to a new addiction with crossfit at Ideal Physique Fitness where I have just completed a 6 week challenge with another 6.4kgs down. IP changed a lot for me in this 6 weeks Stephan Mulder Bianca Viljoen and Nic Strength works hard at finding your absolute best. I mean I am even running, who would have thought
. This brings my total weightloss to 39kgs
have 10kgs to go to goal weight.
I was allways so embarrassed about my photos, but now I post my before photos with pride. I worked hard to get here. I am proud of what I achieved and there is much more to come. Watch this space “

When I made the decision to take the next step in my health quest and started looking for a gym, I am grateful that I came across Ideal Physique. I only knew that I did not want to do a lot of cardio and that I need to start building muscles. I also know myself and knew that I just cannot join a standard gym and go at it by myself. I needed structure, guidance and to be challenged!
From the first moment I spoke to Bianca on the phone, to the first class where Stephan gave me an energy drink to help me make it through, I felt at ease. Ideal Physique fulfilled my requirements and so much more.
It was and still is not easy. When I started, I was not able to do 1 proper push up let alone add weight to a barbell. Now a few months down the line I’m able to do 10 push-ups with ease and add a bit of weight to the barbell.
I like that every class is unique and that it is structured in such a way that the hour is over before you know it, but still, you have been challenged to push yourself every time a little bit more.
I do appreciate the care that all the trainers take with everyone in the class helping where they see one is struggling especially when one is new and does not always know what to do.
I know I still have a long way to go on my health journey, however, is it comforting to know that Ideal Physique is part of it.

Juanette & Morne Visser
Ek en Juanette het September 2021 by Ideal Physique aangesluit as deel van ‘n 6 weeks-challenge waaraan sy wou deelneem maar nie op haar eie wou aansluit nie. Ek stem toe in om saam haar in te skryf vir die 6 week challenge en byna n jaar later is ons nog steeds hier by Ideal Physique Fitness met geen begeerte om gou weg te gaan van hulle af nie.
Van die eerste dag wat ons vir ons initial assessment gekom het kon mens dadelik voel dit is nie jou average gym nie maar meer ‘n plek waar jy saam met jou vriende bymekaar kom en saam oefen, onmiddellik het ek sommer tuis en deel gevoel van almal wat daar is. Omtrend so jaar voor ek en Juanette by Ideal Physique aangesluit het, het ons n besluit gemaak dat ons n meer gesonde leefstyl wil aanpak en natuurlik ons gewig onder beheer wil kry. Ons het pretty much alles probeer en het selfs van online trainers gebruik gemaak maar niks het regtig gehelp nie. By Ideal Physique het ons alreeds in die 6weke challenge ‘n groot verskil gesien. Ons het op n gesonde manier begin gewig verloor en my algemene gesondheid ook BAIE verbeter.
So 4 jaar terug was ek met Diabetes Type 2, hoe Cholesterol en hoe bloeddruk gediagnoseer weens die ongesonde leefstyl wat ons gevolg het maar met behulp van Stephan en Bianca het Ideal Physique ons gehelp om weer n gesonde leefstyl reg aan te vat en dit te vol hou. Met dit het ek my Diabetes, Cholesterol en bloeddruk onder beheer en ek lyk goed en voel sommer goed daarby.
Ideal Physique het ook iets vir my en Juanette gegee om saam te doen as man en vrou. As getroude paartjie met kids en ons werke raak mens soms geneig om so besig te raak dat mens nie kans kry om enige iets saam te doen nie. Tussen deur al die training ens het ons ook in die proses great nuwe vriende gemaak by Ideal Physique, mense met wie ek nog n lang pad gaan stap. Jy tel vinnig op dat Ideal Physique Stephan en Bianca se trots is. Die manier waarop hulle alles aanpak om die gym te verbeter asook die effort wat hulle invest in die mense wat daar train is ongelooflik.
Stephan en Bianca het in ‘n kort tydtjie reg gekry wat baie ander gyms vir jare al sukkel om reg te kry en dit is om ‘n great gym/training centre te wees waar almal welkom voel en is, ongeag jou fiksheid, gewig of ouderdom. Almal is heavy supportive met mekaar en almal druk mekaar om tot die beste van jou vermoens te presteer.
Ideal Physique is n gym met n lekker vibe en ek is trots om te se ek is deel van die Ideal Family!

Waar begin ek. Ek was altyd die een met al die verskonings. Ek het nie tyd nie, ek is al te oud, ek is te oorgewig, ek sal nie kan byhou nie ens ens ens. Ek het besluit ek sal iets moet doen, want ek kon niks aktief saam met my 3 seuns doen nie en het gereeld uitgemis op aktiwiteite saam met hulle. Ek het op Stephan en Ideal Pysique besluit agv ‘n testimonial van my oudste seun se Karate Sensei en is nog nie een oomblik spyt nie. My journey met Ideal Physique het vroeër vanjaar begin met ‘n 6-week challenge. Ek was aanvanklik baie huiwerig want ek is nie meer van die jongste nie (40), was baie oorgewig (severely obese volgens my BMI) en ‘n regte couch patato wat baie min aktief was. Maar Stephan het my oortuig dat ek nie moet toelaat dat vrees my terug hou nie. Ons as challenge groep het mekaar lekker bygestaan en gemotiveer en het onmiddelik tuis gevoel tussen die res van die gym members wat ons ook baie mooi ondersteun en aangemoedig het. In 6 weke het Ideal Physique my gehelp met ‘n eet plan en die oefeninge so aangepas dat ek steeds alles kon saam doen al was my fiksheid en mobility maar baie sleg. Na my 6-week challenge was daar soveel positiewe verbeterings in my lewenswyse dat ek permanent aangesluit het by die Ideal Physique family. Na 6 maande by Ideal Physique het ek al meer as 20kg verloor en is 2 sizes kleiner. Behalwe dit is ek ook soveel fikser en sterker en kan nou weer byhou by my 3 aktiewe seuns. Ek kan Ideal Physique regtig aanbeveel vir almal, want hulle pas alles aan by jou behoeftes. Of jy net gewig wil verloor of fikser/sterker wil word of ‘n weightlifter/atleet is, hier sal jy ‘n tuiste vind. Ek sal elke persoon aanmoedig om hulle vertroue in Stephan en Bianca te sit, sodat hulle jou kan help om jou Ideal self te word. No excuses – begin vandag!

Almost 6 years ago I felt the need to do a complete lifestyle overhaul as I work in a high intensity
environment as a chef. Not following a healthy sustainable diet, I was overweight and tired all the
time. Being a mom and trying to balance work and life was challenging and it became clear that I
needed to make a change. With no fitness or training background I did not want to set myself up for failure, if you ask most people, joining a gym can be very intimidating as weight loss and fitness training is very personal and
most times a difficult journey that most of us give up on after a few weeks or months if we try to do
it alone. I was referred to Ideal Physique by a family member and decided to go for an assessment with
Stephan and get my health on track. As a professional I believe in “by word of mouth” due to a
proven track record and sustainable results.
I started with personal training and my life was changed forever. Not only did my health improve
along with the weight loss, but I really gained so much confidence being able to run 10km road
races, compete in obstacle course races for fun and actually finishing them. None of this would have
been possible without the guidance and support of the Ideal Physique team.
They invest in their client’s fitness as well as personal growth. And to me that is priceless.
The Ideal Physique team customizes your training and nutritional plans so your goals are achievable,
which in turns gives you the confidence needed to keep going at it and make it a lifestyle and not a
quick fix. Years later I am still a part of the IP fitness family and recently joined their CrossFit program, with
levels to accommodate not only professional athletes but beginners as well. Not only loads of fun, meeting and connecting with like minded individuals from all walks of life and ages, you get to experience being a part of a fitness community that uplifts and supports one another to achieve your goals, to cheer you on to get that last rep in!
If you are looking for a sustainable lifestyle change, to get healthy and fit and learn a few new skills
along the way, I highly recommend Ideal Physique Fitness team!

Ideal Physique- I have been with Stephan (Owner) for over four years now and never looked back! let’s just say one thing is for sure he is consistent! He is constantly trying to push you to become a better version of yourself through the knowledge and skills he has acquired through the years of being a Personal trainer and the many disciplines of training he has operated in be it for himself or his business. I have an extremely stressful job and my training with him has helped me mentally and physically. My weight might fluctuate but one constant remains Ideal Physique and the quality of training I get. IP has gained my respect for the way they invest in the people they train and just when you think you are giving up he will do the last mile with you.

I joined Ideal physique a little more than a year ago, and I can honestly say that this was the best investment I’ve ever made.
Not only did I gain a lot of muscle mass and lost a lot of body fat, but I also met some of the most amazing like-minded people and what a bonus I met my dream Husband.
The trainers at Ideal Physique are super friendly and invested in each and every member, they know you by name and quickly make you feel part of the Ideal family.
The trainers and other IP members always motivate you to lift heavier or do that extra rep and help you become a better and healthier you.
I can honestly say that they accommodate all fitness levels, and if you have injuries they work around them or give you exercise and stretches to help strengthen those areas and they really walk this journey with you.
They are very strict with form, they make sure each and every member know exactly how to properly do the exercise to avoid injuries.
Accountability:
They check in with their members and follow up on them if they see you haven’t been to the gym in quite some time.
Unlike other gyms, they do free Inbody scale checks and progress reports to help you keep your fitness on track.
They also post the day’s workout on an app where you can log your progress absolutely free.
I can honestly recommend this gym to anyone who is committed to bettering their health and fitness. As their motto goes “This place will change you if you let it”
I’m always excited to exercise at Ideal Physical, this is my happy place!
So Pop in if you are serious about bettering your health and fitness, or maybe just like me, you will find your perfect partner and some amazing new friends.

2 years in with Ideal Physique and I honestly don’t even want to look back! Since I started training with Bianca and Stephan, I have gained so much confidence, my physical and mental health has taken a drastic shift for the better and obviously I gained plenty muscles and lost the wobbly bits.
The physical changes are amazing and such a bonus, but this was never our goal or focus. Exercise is so important for mental health and having the right team on your side is even more important. I have trained with the team through days of tears, aggression, frustration and DOUBT… they have an amazing way of motivating me, pushing me and not allowing my mind to get the worst of me.
I could not have picked a better family to laugh and sweat with!

I initially started a 6-week challenge with IP in October 2021 to lose a bit of weight as I had been experiencing issues with my back leaving me in constant pain and immobile at times. Joining IP was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. Starting off wasn’t easy but the coaches were super helpful and supportive modifying the workouts so that they were doable and then increasing their difficulty as my skills and abilities improved. I have never been part of such a gym family community, the continuous support where coaches check up on you when you are sick or injured, the nutrition and fitness advice, and the results make the sweat and struggle more than worth it.
To date, I have lost 21kgs in 10/11 months without having to starve myself or result to medication. I am stronger, fitter, healthier, and happier than I have ever been. Becoming part of the IP family changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their lifestyle and fitness. Joining IP is a decision I can guarantee you won’t regret.

I am the typical hard working 45-year-old family man, and always been an active person but never been the guy that goes to the gym. Most of the time I trained twice a week karate. After competing at the karate championship where I qualified for the UWK SA Team I started to train very hard but it felt like I was going nowhere, my bodyweight at that time was about 95kg with a body fat of about 28%. Trying to train almost 4 times a week in the gym during my busy daily schedule. I then finally decided to invest in myself to be able to achieve my goals because at my current rate I am going nowhere. I approached Stephan and explain him my situation, he then agreed to train me. We had our first fitness session and I realised that Stephan is very professional, well prepared with the training sessions, knowledgeable and most important a down to earth person with a great personality, the rest is history. From that day, I started to train with him 3 times a week and I am being training with him now for over a year and never regret one single day of it. I can say with honesty that I am fitter, stronger and faster than I have been for the last 20 years.
My current body weight is 82kg, with a body fat of 12.5% and a normal heart rate less than 60 per minute. I recommend Ideal Physique to any person who is serious about changing their lives to be healthier and become more fitter, does not matter your age, anything is possible.
