Name : MICHAEL MARITZ
Role : Head Coach and Co-Owner

I have been actively involved in the sport, health and fitness industry for more than 3 decades in various sports disciplines such as gymnastics; wrestling; bodybuilding; swimming; running; cycling; weight lifting; strongman; korfball; rugby; and soccer. I have been involved as a competitive athlete; coach; master trainer; and mentor ; national and international IFBB judge/official/IFBB national development officer/ national team manager. I have received provincial and national colors for some of my involvements.

I have recognized for years the importance of sport, physical activity and physical education, and the positive and significant impact and contribution these services can have on the lives and development of the entire community regardless race; gender and religion.

My programs have always based themselves on partnerships with the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture; schools; local business communities and the general public. By working with relevant agencies I managed effectively to target and have an influence on our harder-to reach-young people. I therefore have been able to directly address issues such as obesity and anti-social behavior.

Over the years I have strived to be continuously educated by constantly attending seminars and courses annually to ensure I have the best to offer to the community and this industry.

My training programs and regime have always been functional-based, changed daily, measured and varied from moderate to very high intensity work outs. For the last few years I have been following CrossFit by means of training myself and incorporating it into my clients workouts. With the vast improvements noticed on my clients strength, power, speed, cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, accuracy, stamina, coordination I realize that CrossFit is definitely the only way forward.

Ever since I received my CrossFit L1 Training certificate, I have been practicing and preaching CrossFit to all my clients. Due to the fact that I have proven myself as a leader in the fitness, health and wellness industry as a very motivated, passionate and committed results-driven trainer/coach with a very well established business and growing clientele, which enables me to make a positive impact on your health and fitness goals and the CrossFit community.

As a well know sport-specific coach and personal trainer, I will however also continue to assist certain clients/athletes in their needs by training them accordingly (out of the CrossFit mythology if needed) to ensure they achieve their personal goals.
