About Us

Welcome to the About Us page of BattleFit Equipment!

Death to the Modern Gym!

Wow, bold statement there Johnny, but in truth, it’s probably for the best. Before the 1970’s bodybuilding revolution, FITNESS was the aim of exercise. Classic bodybuilders had to posses physical prowess as well as mass – they had to be able to do a planche, or one arm pullup, or atleast comb their hair!

We’re on a mission… to bring real fitness back to our beloved country. We don’t import nonsense from over seas, we make it right here – creating an industry and supporting South African families.

This gives us an advantage… We are able to make custom Equipment and Calisthenic Parks! We’re also able to modify/adjust/re-invent/ adapt/ basically, our clients imagination is our limitation. 

Your body works in 2 ways: The HARD and then the SOFT. When you do hard training to work up a sweat, burn your muscles and make your veins pop, you tighten your body, weaken your joints and stress the connective tissue. To undo this, you have to stretch and do flexibility training.

NOW… Guess what kind of training does both? THATS RIGHT! Calisthenics is the idea that the body works in tandem, muscles need building, joints need stabilising and the whole body needs stretching to be able to output it’s maximum effort. We don’t just preach this, we train this.

Our approach is multi pronged.

  1. We create the equipment that allows the best workouts, stability training and progression training. It’s best to start at level 1 and upgrade slowly. Example: The staffy rig has a low bar – use this to reach the point where your body can do 100 lateral pull ups in a row then progress to the side bar and do jackknife pullups.
  2. We have fitness programs for sale on this website, as we increase our repertoire – more options will be available to you to progress safely and ‘strongly’ 
  3. We have an outdoor fitness venue in Honeydew that we train ordinary civilians at and turn them into Athletes – our Obstacle Course Race athlete has just won the entire Warrior Race Commando series for 2024! We create athletes, we don’t adopt them. This is done through stability and flexibility training.
  4. Our online fitness facility is a simple process of you signing up for 3 months and receiving a new 30 day workout program for each of those months. Keeping you fit and ready to seize the day.
