Award-winning Ritual Gym opens in Johannesburg
What if you could work out and still have enough time to do all of the other things that require your immediate attention? Well, now you can!
The internationally acclaimed Ritual Gym, famous for its 30-minute high results gym sessions, has opened its doors in Johannesburg. The sessions combine cardio and strength training into a super-efficient quick gym experience that trains the whole body, all while focusing on form and efficiency.
The Ritual Gym model is perfect for anyone looking to squeeze in a workout, as the sessions are focused on the concept of ‘Train. Shower. Refuel. Out.’ Members aren’t even required to wear shoes, as the floors are shock absorbent, and gym kit, state-of-the-art showers, shower accessories and towels are all provided. A smoothie bar is on site to provide quick and nutritious refuels on the way out. With a maximum of ten clients per session, everyone receives plenty of hands-on personal attention from Ritual’s team of world-class coaches.
For added convenience, the much-lauded app means that booking sessions, tracking stats and managing memberships can all happen at the touch of a button. Sessions are available every half hour from 5:30 am to 8 pm and can be booked up to two minutes before a class begins, meaning that members can fit a workout into their day whenever it suits them.
Ritual Gym is located on the upper level of the Thrupps Illovo Shopping Centre. To sign up or book a trial session visit www.ritualgym.com.
