TRAIN GYM - Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal (BOXING STUDIOS)

In our continued efforts in search of awesome boxing studios, we found another one to feature in FITNESS TRAINING & ACTIVITIES this month, it really is such an awesome and emotionally freeing exercise form. DO IT NOW!!!

Meet, Durban's...
Firstly, this is a beautiful pad they have here, its one of those places you just want to go in, its really cool. But on a more serious note, TRAIN GYM is a Sports Performance Centre where they train you their way, different to the norm, and they get you the results you really want...but you have to play along and work for it. 

They specialize in Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Crossfit, Animal Training and Bootcamp, and along with that they will give you the best BOXING TRAINING. Train like a boxer, think like a boxer, and be pushed like never before, see results like never before, and its aimed at MEN & WOMEN!!! (And if you want to fight for real, they will get you there.)

But they also offer Group Training, which feels like personal training, as well as Krav Maga, which is the Israeli styled Martial Arts adopted by the Israeli Defence Force.

It really is kinda an all-in-one gym, and its awesome....see for yourself @ www.traingym.co.za

DineSouthAficaco.za & EATWISE HEALTH FOOD CAFE- HEALTH CONSCIOUS RESTAURANTS & ONLINE RESTAURANT GUIDES (Eastern Cape)

TOTALLY EXCITED ABOUT FOOD, an the opportunity to prove that HEALTHY, does not mean A TASTELESS EXPERIENCE LIKENED TO EATING CARDBOARD DRESSED WITH H2O.

All too often we assume that healthy food isn't exciting, BUT IT IS, it really is a total experience, and we will help you find those foodie-people-chef types and restaurants who will show you how incredible healthy can really be. The benefits will follow....promise!

Now you'd surprised at how NOT-USER-FRIENDLY some these Restaurant Guide Websites are, and you'd think that it would be easy to just go online, type in HEALTHY CUISINE and PROVINCE, CITY & TOWN, and voila, you have a selection of places to go to. For some reason, this feature evades some sites, don't get it...?! (You just get a search bar as an option and you have guess how it all works.) 

But non-the-less, a site we didn't know about, and wished we'd found on day 1, was exactly what we were looking for....so organised. And then still has MANY other features. We found an awesome restaurant too.

Meet...
 &

Firstly, Eat Wise Health Food Cafe & Smoothie Bar is also is recognised is a Cyber-Cafe,  as you can order healthy meals online and get them delivered to your door, bearing in mind they are Durban based. We like this, because you can go to them and enjoy your food in their easy casual environment, or you can plan your weeks meals and get them delivered. They also do catering for functions. 

Their menus extensive, and includes REALLY AWESOME smoothies, our go to happy place, as well as Asian, Caribbean, Chinese, Continental, Fusion, Greek,  Indian, Italian....blah, blah, blah, JUST EVERYTHING FABULOUS......BUT ALL  HEALTHY!!!

That has been their passion, to start a gourmet health food company. The EATWISE menu has been designed very health conscious individuals who have always lived energetic and healthy lifestyles. EATWISE offers delicious and convenient meals for people on the go. It is an deal choice which will enable you to establish and maintain a healthier lifestyle. 

The menu seriously mouthwatering, we liked these...
- MANGO, BANANA & COCONUT SMOOTHIE
- BREE & SWEET POTATO SALAD, 
- SUNDRIED TOMATO CHICKEN, 
- CHILLI-MINT-BEEF FILLET,
- GREEN MAMBA PASTA, wow, and so much more, we were thinking camping out in the cafe for three days to get through it all. 

Find there menu @ Eat Wise @ dinesouthafrica.com & menu or download it on their site @ www.eatwise.co.za

For interest sake, they also have STRICTLY HALAAL options, and if you are a count-watching-health-nut, each meal you order online will show you the calorie count, carb count, fat count as well as protein count, AND it will total each in your overall order....now that's service, and its quite clever. 

For other healthy dining experiences go straight to the main site @ www.dinesouthafrica.com, you get to click on the province, city and suburb, and then cuisine, its such an awesome direct search engine. We need not say more because its seriously easy to use and they are clued and up-to-date, try them.

NEON RUN - Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal. (Road Running, Marathons & Sporting Events)

So excited to reporting on this again, did it last year and it seriously is more than a run, its a TOTAL JOL!!!! Such an awesome concept!!! So excited to add it to our list of MARATHONS & SPORTING EVENTS!!!

Its baaaack.....ta da duhhhhhhh....

READY, SET, GLOW!!!

Ever been to a race where to GLOW is the only fashion sense, its whats both desired and required, other than actually having fun while you run a race. Its South Africa's most ELECTRIC NIGHT ROAD RACE EVENT where individuals either Run, Cycle, Skate or Walk a 5km route covered in total Neon attire and body paint. 

We think the point is not to even try and win, although you can get competitive, the point is first and foremost, to have fun, hence the dress code....and everyone dresses up, trust us, don't be left out. You'll just look silly.

Prepare o be wonder-struck as you 'glide' through different Glow Zones throughout the race that brings both Neon and complete giddy joy into your life.

And its not one of those races where you run, win...or not, and then go home with or without a medal, no sirs and ma'am's, because at the finish line is where it actually all really starts. You end your run in an incredible neon explosion of colour, life, lights, sound and some of SA's best performance artists who will entertain you well into the late evening hours....we just think they make you run to earn your party, and its a party of note.

This years line-up at various events already includes....MiCasa, DJ's Fresh & your naughty Uncle Rogie, Roger Goode, as well as Chris Taylor, Desmond & the Tutu's, GoodLuck, Grassy Spark, Rubber Duc...to name a few...its total madness, and ANYONE can do this run, but you have to run in order to party...ok?!. 

PLEASE.DONT.MISS.OUT.YOU.WILL.REGRET.IT.WE.PROMISE!!!

For more info please visit them @ www.neonrun.co.za

Last year in Durban...so cool
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And then....Dodgie Uncle Rodgie
 
 
 
 
 
 
Can you really think of a good reason to miss this.....no, didnt think so.

PILATES IN MOTION - GLENWOOD, DURBAN

In FITNESS TRAINING & ACTIVITIES this month our prime focus is PILATES, it all starts with PILATES, at least it should!!! There are a few essentials to looking after your body, we believe, yoga, meditation, stretch, good eating, daily cardio, a good laugh, dancing as often as you can, AND PILATES!!!
These will get you through life, well into your most profound years, and beyond, with the best preservation life can provide, all these things will see you through, AND PILATES!!!

Meet...
 Why we like PILATES in MOTION, is because they are a MOMENTUM Affiliated Gym, which makes rewards processes even better, if you are with Momentum, but irrespective, its means you can take them seriously, Momentum does.
Secondly, their class menu specifically includes Pensioners, as well as Sports Teams & Clubs. 

We also like the fact that they include other mediums in their timetable, we believe that too much of a good thing leads to both boredom and regression, so the fact that they include Taebo is awesome. Why TAEBO?
Its adds a medium to high impact cardiovascular workout to ones regime, plus its energetic and fun, and will leave you feeling revitalised, whereas Pilates is quite slow, and very controlled, and even though you will work really hard, its so controlled it doesn't allow for much fun, and sometimes that plus the energetic workout is as important. 

But they are also about to introduce something called BOOTY BARRE. , its something totally awesome, and again fun and energetic, that fuses techniques from Dance, Pilates & Yoga, and will totally tone, define and chisel your already perfect little booty and the rest of your body. 

Its the perfect combination of strength & flexibility, with an added element of cardiovascular utilizing the ballet barre. THIS WE LOVE!

After being available in 25 other countries, we now have Tracey Mallett's BOOTY BARRE with PILATES in MOTION. 
 
But lets get back to why we really came here, PILATES and a really awesome lady who started Pilates in Motion, Ms Laura-May. Laura has been teaching Pilates for over 7 years and prides herself in training pensioners, sports men and women, Chiropractors, Doctors and also directs her abilities to the areas of Rehabilitation, as well as Pre & Post Natal Training. (So everyone, but she can focus on each area.)
She qualified with the New York Pilates Method and is bringing Booty Barre to South Africa's shores.

Why is Pilates in Motion a cut above the rest? The classes are small and intimate, and the environment is tranquil and happy. You will work hard, and smart, but you will also have fun and know that each time you come, you will experience something new.

We also love the idea of the retreat they just had, more will follow, but its a day of Pilates, tension relief, spinal alignment, relaxation, all surrounded by a beautiful forest, close to a waterfall and you will experience a mindfulness/ loving-kindness workshop, see more @ PILATES IN MOTION RETREAT.


 
 
But please go to the website, and have a better look at what Pilates in Motion is all about, its awesome, Contact them for more information @ pilatesinmotion.co.za.
