A plan, not a workout
Sessions run on a cycle that builds. What you do on Monday is there because of what you did a fortnight ago, and your loads come off your own numbers rather than a percentage on a whiteboard.
Hermanus
Train likeit matters.
A coached gym for people who want to get properly strong and stay that way. Small classes, real programming, and somebody who knows your name.

Why here
Coached, not supervised.
There is a difference between a gym with equipment in it and a gym with somebody watching you lift. Every session here is programmed, coached and written down.
Small enough to be seen
Classes cap at 25. If your back rounds on the fifth rep somebody says so before the sixth, and if you are carrying something the coach already knows before you walk in.
Book on your phone
Book and cancel your sessions in the Octiv app, and check in when you arrive. Cancel at least six hours before a session starts, because we hold that spot for you.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Straight from our membership terms, so this is exactly how it works. Anything else, WhatsApp 067 757 1970.
How much does it cost?
2 Weekly Classes is R800 a month, Unlimited is R1 120 a month, paid by monthly debit order. There is no joining fee. A single drop in class is R125. See all the prices.
Can I try a class before I join?
Yes. Buy a drop in on Octiv for R125, choose your class and come and train with us. Book a drop in.
How do I join?
Sign the membership contract on this website, then choose your monthly package on Octiv. It takes about five minutes. Sign the contract.
How do I book and cancel classes?
In the Octiv app. Cancel at least 6 hours before the class starts. On Unlimited, cancelling later is a late cancellation fee of R50 and not arriving is a no show fee of R125. On other packages there is no fee; the class is simply used. Clauses 6.1 to 6.5.
Do I need to check in?
Yes. Check in on Octiv when you arrive. Octiv only knows you trained if you check in, so a booking without a check in counts as a no show, even if you were there.
What if I am running late?
Classes start and end on time, so arriving late shortens your session and the full fee still applies. More than 10 minutes late may be treated as a no show. Clauses 5.2 and 5.3.
I have an injury or a health condition. Can I still train?
Usually, yes. Tell us about it before you train, and stop and tell the coach if anything feels wrong. We may ask for medical clearance first. If something changes later, update us here. Clauses 4.2 to 4.4.
What should I wear?
Comfortable training clothes and proper training shoes. Bring water. Clause 4.5.
Do session packs expire?
Yes. Packages are paid upfront and their sessions expire one month after you buy them. Sessions already used are not refunded. Clauses 7.3.2 and 7.4.
Can I put my membership on hold?
Yes, if you are out of town for more than two consecutive months. Ask for a hold. Clause 11.4.
How do I cancel my membership?
Contact Jambo on WhatsApp (067 757 1970) or by email (jambocorefitness@gmail.com). Cancelling takes one calendar month's written notice, and your debit order runs until then. Clause 11.3.
Where are you and when are you open?
Sports Club, Jose Burman Dr, Hermanus, 7200. Monday to Friday 06:00 to 18:30, Saturday 07:00 to 09:00, Sunday Closed.

Walk in. We take it from there.
1
A conversation about what you actually want, and about any injury or health condition we need to know before you train.
2
A movement screen so nobody loads a shoulder that is not ready.
3
Your first session, coached, with the class rather than off to the side.
