YogaLife in De Waterkant and Sea Point is all about balance. They offer everything from flow to hot yoga (just trust us), so whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll feel right at home. The vibe is super welcoming too, making it easy to connect with others.

F45: 

Short on time but ready to get sweaty? F45 is perfect. These 45-minute classes are a mix of high-intensity cardio and strength training, designed to keep things fresh and challenging every time. Plus, the community is super motivating.

The Movement Lab:

This pilates-focused studio is all about mindful movement and body awareness. With a focus on strength and mobility, The Movement Lab has a mix of classes, including reformer pilates classes that help you build those muscles we sometimes ignore and prevent injury. Ideal if you want to train smarter, not just harder.

The Yard Functional Gym:

If you're into functional training or have the Hyrox Games on your bucket list, The Yard is where it's at. The coaches are all about building solid foundations, and it’s a great space to push yourself without the usual gym grind.
