We Meet the Geniuses behind The Fitness Shacks ( and their cat )
We begin this article with a word of advice to all budding entrepreneurs . Make sure you have a garage .
Yes , it ’ s that simple . The mega billion corporations that are Apple , Microsoft , YouTube and Lady Gaga all had , and very likely still do possess , a garage . Which is why The Fitness Shack being perhaps the smartest of them all . Because not only did they possess a garage in the very infancy of their personal trainer business , but they started their business from that very garage . Genius !
So “ The Feral ” made the trip to Durban to seek out these fitness professionals and find out more about their brand of training , and why they recommend it for surfers .
The Moses Madiba Stadium stands directly across the road from “ The Shark Tank ”, or Kings Park Stadium . Both of these imposing buildings host the same well-known gym brand . But it ’ s neither of these facilities that contain the latest in surfer training and conditioning . We park in their shared lot and walk a short distance to a building the contains yet another gym . Walking past its glass sliding doors I spy out the usual collection of weight racks , barbells , dumbbells , and the now essential tractor tyre and thick ropes that the local club rugby players use to condition themselves for their sport . This is not the Fitness Shack . The Fitness Shack is to the right . Overlooking a rugby field that is currently occupied by a game of club cricket .
