Introducing Coastal Gym:
Empowering Fitness and Community
Coastal Gym, a thriving fitness center nestled on a scenic hill in Malema (squatter camps) in St. Francis, has a remarkable journey that began in 2021 under the visionary leadership of Xolisile Ngantweni. Initially, the gym had only a handful of members, but its humble beginnings didn’t deter the spirit of those involved.
The turning point for Coastal Gym came when M&J Charity stumbled upon a heartwarming Facebook post by Xolisile, seeking second-hand gym equipment. Touched by the passion and determination, M&J Charity decided to support this promising project with some leftover funds, making a significant difference in the gym’s early days.
To accommodate the growing demand and enthusiasm, Coastal Gym found a temporary home at St. Francis Safaris, where they rented space for a year and assembled all the donated second-hand equipment. The response was overwhelming, and the project proved to be a resounding success.
Fast forward to 2023, Coastal Gym reached another milestone by securing a spacious building in the industrial area. With relentless dedication and hard work, they have now evolved into a fully-fledged fitness company, while still upholding their core values of providing affordable training options for everyone.
The success story of Coastal Gym
is a testament to the power of community support, unwavering determination, and the belief that fitness should be accessible to all. As they look ahead, the team at Coastal Gym envisions a bright and enduring future, continuing to empower people to lead healthier lives for many years to come.
