Roark Gyms

Had a few hours to kill before flying back to JHB, so I Googled the best gym in Cape Town — Roark was the first to pop up. Thought I’d take a chance and call to see if I could get a day pass to squeeze in a session. I spoke to Frik Muller (great guy — very pleasant), and without hesitation, he welcomed me in. I even offered to pay for a session, but he didn’t charge me a cent. The gym has a functional fitness setup, but it suits everyone, no matter your training style or level. It’s clean, well-organised, and has a wide variety of equipment, plus showers. I usually follow a bodybuilding routine, so at first, I was a bit intimidated by the different environment. But after a bit of thinking, I managed to piece my session together quite nicely. Thanks again, Frik, for allowing me into your space — I had a great time and will definitely visit again next time I’m in Cape Town. Happy friend

Best gym in Cape Town. Cost efficiency, coaching, friendliness. All in one🙌 Update: my fitness journey has never been better here. The friendliness, programming and support is unlike any gym I've been to. We also have an event for the men and ladies respectively at the end of every year called the Roark Games, where you can test out your strength and conditioning progress against your gym peers. I dunno where I'd be without Roark Gyms.

Roark Gym is a great place to train. The Personal trainers are super professional allowing you to really drive towards your goals. While still being friendly and helpful enough that you can feel comfortable even if you have never been to a gym before. If you are looking to achieve any fitness goals, this is a great place to go. The personal trainers will tailor a workout to perfectly fit your needs and you'll find yourself smashing those goals in no time.

I joined Roark gyms in August 2020, thinking it would be temporary until Virgin Active opened up again. Little did I know that I would be hooked from my first session, and decided to end my VA membership the following day and sign up to Roark permanently. Just over a year later, many fitness goals achieved (and still to go) and I could not be more in love with this place. The coaches and members are beyond supportive and empowering. Roark is more than just a gym- it is a safe space, a community for all regardless of one's fitness levels. Joining Roark is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I would highly recommend it!!

I've been going to Roark for more than 2 years now and it has completely changed how I see my body and fitness. They have 2 guided classes in the morning (6am & 7am) and 2 in the evening (5:30pm & 6:30pm).
