Facilities
Maties Gymnasium
In a league of its own
Maties Gymnasium is no ordinary gym. This is clear from the moment you walk into this unique facility on the Coetzenburg sports grounds in Stellenbosch. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, top-notch trainers, and state-of-the-art equipment are just a few of the benefits you receive when you join the ever-growing membership base.
The Gymnasium provides training equipment and facilities for everyone, from the novice and the hard-core bodybuilder to the fitness fanatic, the “stay-in-shape” type, and even the high-performance athlete. Maties Gymnasium is the only gymnasium in the area that offers adaptable gym equipment for people with different physical abilities, thereby providing universal access to all. Here, you will rub shoulders with Maties rugby players, perhaps even the odd Springbok player, Olympians, and some of Maties’ top student-athletes training for their next victory.
At Maties Gymnasium, the ordinary student can wind down after a day of studying or take the edge off after a three-hour exam. It is also a place where the local attorney can release unnecessary adrenaline after handling yet another stressful court case. Fitness experts, personal trainers, and intuitive group exercise instructors are always ready to help you reach your fitness goals, keep you in shape, and support you in taking your training routine to the next level.
