to show our community that fitness can be a fun journey that leads to efficiency in
several aspects of one’s life. We cater to anyone who is eager to get active but isn’t too

person to commit to making the changes needed to lead a healthier lifestyle then we
have done our job.
What motivated you to start the business you are in?
– Healthy is an outfit that looks different on everyBODY. If you aren’t as disciplined as the

service you have been looking for. We want to dispel the misconceptions that health and
fitness is only for a certain type of person and create an environment where our clients
can feel confident to pursue their goals, free from prejudice and with the best knowledge
backing up their pursuit.

Give us 3 pointers on what it takes to start a successful fitness club?
– Intrinsic motivation, make sure YOU know and understand why you are starting the club.
If it is just to make money, you will probably find it hard to stick to the grind.
– A passion & love for exercise/movement, watching how movement transforms the lives
of people you train will keep you pushing through those tough days and make the work
you do never feel like work.
– A background in fitness & the education to back it up, like who is lining up to see
unqualified doctors?
Words of motivation to fellow Namibians?
– A wise man once said, Keep It Simple Sam, you honestly don’t need the fancy
equipment or even a gym to get your sweat on. Free yourself from all those excuses that are keeping you from living a full healthy fun life, use your body weight and basic
movements (squat, push up, sit up, plank etc.) with a few tweaks to increase the
intensity as you get stronger. Also, focus on the elements of the journey that you can
control, like what you are eating as opposed to when and how the results are coming in.
Trust the process and don’t ever look back – this will be the best decision you will ever
make for yourself.
