2025 has been a rough ride, yet when we look back at all our achievements, we are grateful for every piece of gym equipment delivered, repaired, and serviced this year. We will be sharing some of our favourite milestones with you throughout the December Holidays.
One of our most Exciting achievements this year was the launch of a Hyrox training facility in the beautiful Plettenberg Bay.
Plett Health and Fitness
Gym Experts are proud to power fitness facilities across South Africa, yet some projects truly stand out from the crowd. Our favourite installation of 2025 is the Hyrox training zone we helped create for Plett Health and Fitness in the beautiful seaside town of Plettenberg Bay.
This was not just a standard gym fit-out. It was the creation of a dedicated, competition-ready hybrid fitness arena. Since late 2024, when the first official Hyrox competition race was held in South Africa, the shift to Hybrid fitness has been pronounced, and the increase in functional fitness spaces has been a fun and inspiring journey.
The Hyrox Competition Standard Meets Plettenberg Bay Coastal Air
Plett Health and Fitness, owned by the forward-thinking brother and sister team of the Du Toits, tasked us with delivering a world-class Hyrox training area as an addition to their already cutting-edge gym.
The location is truly unique, boasting a premium outdoor space right next to the sparkling pool. This was a smart move because outdoor training can lead to better sleep and recovery, as well as boost your mood and immune system. With the pleasant Plett weather, this hybrid training space is one of a kind.
While the team at Plett handled the structure and laid out the foundational flooring, we supplied and installed every piece of competition-standard equipment needed to train like a pro.
We equipped the zone with the full arsenal required for the “World Series of Fitness Racing,” including:
- Competition Standard Power Sled
- Competition Standard Power Rope
- Centr X Kettlebells
- Centr X Slam Balls
- The essential Centr X Slam Target
- A premium Curve Treadmill for non-motorised running
- Official Hyrox competition Sand/Power Bags
- A robust Power/Storage Rack to keep all the gear organised and ready for action.
Our team worked swiftly to secure the equipment and get it ready for use. With the official opening date moved up to August 22nd, we sped up the installation to ensure everything was perfect for the launch, which saw local media and excited future members flood in to see the new facility.
A Seaside Retreat for the Gym Experts Team
As a Gauteng-based company, we don’t often get the chance to trade the highveld hustle for the coastal calm. Sending some of our dedicated install crew down to Plettenberg Bay was a highlight! We relish the opportunity to visit the sea, and the chance to blend work with a bit of seaside air made this project a memorable one. It’s a privilege to see our equipment installed in such a spectacular setting.
Train Like a Pro: December Classes & Holiday Passes
With Plettenberg Bay being a prime holiday destination, the owners of Plett Health and Fitness have ensured that visitors and holidaymakers can easily access this incredible new facility. This December, they are stepping up their offering with Hyrox Training Classes dedicated to mastering the functional movements in the new outdoor arena!
These classes are an incredible way to test out the competition-standard equipment we installed, from the power sled to the curve treadmills, all under the guidance of Plett Health and Fitness’s expert coaches.

What is Hyrox? A Brief Overview
For those new to the concept, HYROX is rapidly becoming the world’s largest mass participation fitness race. It is often described as “The World Series of Fitness Racing.”
The format is standardised globally, combining endurance running with functional strength exercises. Every race consists of 8 x 1km runs, each followed by one functional workout station, repeated eight times. The workouts include stations such as the Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jumps, and Wall Balls. It’s a test of total-body fitness, demanding both cardiovascular stamina and muscular strength, making the creation of a dedicated training zone, like the one at Plett Health and Fitness, essential for anyone looking to compete or just test their limits.
