_______

Kickboxing and HIIT classes.

My name is Brandon Rothwell, head striking coach and certified personal trainer at The Powerplant Gym in Stellenbosch. I am a former international and national fighter. I took our Junior South African Muay Thai team to the World Championship in Thailand.

With over two decades of experience in this industry its become my way of life. It’s the way I choose to live it and lead it. I only wish I started sooner, however I now get the opportunity to live it vicariously through my students.

Whether your goal is to gain weight, lose weight, step into the ring, try something new or just have a challenge, I want to show you what the best version of yourself looks like, because fitness in a great environment is the greatest therapy.

I am aware that in today’s hectic lifestyle it can be difficult to find the time but just an hour in a 24hour day for our own health and well-being should take precedent over all else, and once you realize and experience first hand I guarantee we will be seeing a lot of each other at the Powerplant Gym, as it becomes your new way of life.
