Used the Gym for 3 months last year- had membership at the Old Mutual gym which was closed during lockdown. Bookings were strictly 1 hour and done via the app- this was very convenient. I love the size of the gym especially their running track. They have a variety of everything you require. The gym is never crowded and not very noisy. Staff are very friendly
Beautiful environment. Many different offers for health.Just better signage to get there.
Had to go here for xrays and medical appointment. Lots of parking. Covid compliant, and great to watch the swimmers practising while waiting for my appointment. All in all a good experience
Well equipped and maintained gymnasium. Excellent 25m lap pool.
A great place to go for all your physical sporting needs
Great gym. Music not too loud. Lots of room and great equipment. 25m pool. Many programs with qualified biokineticists to guide you. More pricey than any other gyms but well worth it.
Well equipped. Has a swimming pool. Wide range of weights and dumbells. Visible floor staff. Change rooms in good condition
So efficient for MRI on knee. Thank you.
Excellent service and most importantly my pain was alleviated
My 95 year old grandfather was admitted to the rehabilitation facility on offer and they helped him to a full recovery. The security of the place is great and all the staff are friendly. A tour of the facility is available upon request and their equipment definitely gives surrounding gyms a run for their money. The indoor running track is an added feature no other indoor establishment offers not to mention their state of the art equipment used daily.
Super friendly and helpful staff, no water during load shedding though so no coffee aaah. The auditorium is so neat and comfy.
Safe environment and enjoyable
Medical Centre.. Good Service, treatment and friendly staff.. Good inter action with panel & doctor
I have been a member for many years and really enjoy all the classes in which I take part. The staff always make me welcome and are very professional and kind with any problems or concerns. The change rooms are kept to a high standard. I also enjoy the social side with other members.
Love this place.
Great gym... unless you’re a weightlifter. SSISA has placed the weights area directly over some offices, so you’re not allowed to drop any weights at all. Inconvenient if you’re doing heavy deadlifts and forget about any Olympic/CrossFit lifts. When I tried contacting them about a compromise I was met with complete indifference.If you’re serious about your weightlifting, find another gym.
I had a great experience with Theo the fysio
Extremely knowledgeable with regards to injuries, very helpful reception desk and some of the best professionals available. Facilities are excellent, so this place is highly recommended.
People come from far and wide ti shop here
There are two main sections to the Sports Science Institute - the regular gym and then the recovery area which has more specialized equipment. Staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and rates for trainers are very good value for money. Ask for Rayno Klaasens as your trainer, hes friendly, knowledgeable and pushes you to be your best but also knows when to stop and pulls you back from pushing yourself too far.
Went to see Dr Van Der merwe. Excellent service
Brilliant facility, ample parking, professional and friendly staff...highly recommended
The Sport Science Institute is a great place and the staff are friendly and ready to help you
Chris Delpierre is the best Podiatrist in SA. After a severe accident and multiple surgeries and seeing others in this field who had failed miserably, I decided to take the trip to see Chris. It was a ball park win. My ankle and foot impairment has been corrected with his help and rehab. No surgery needed as per previous recommendation. Thank you and Wishing you all the best.
Good friendly service at the Radiology Service - reasonably priced
When I became injured in October of 2017 I was not sure how to proceed. I approached the SSISA and I received the most professional, warm and friendly help from the physiotherapy staff. Brent Hess, a Senior Physio, is professional and friendly and really talented and was able to help sort me out in a month. Would recommend to anyone with a chronic or acute sports related injury.
Very well run, great atmosphere and very nice building and carpark.
Excellent gym. Has large heated swimming pool, huge array of weight training machines as well as free weight equipment. Has indoor running track, cardio machines, sauna, nurse on duty and training assistants. By far the best gym I have ever seen.
Sports Science is great. The only reason I defected to Virgin Active is because I travel so often. If a scientific basis to your training is what you are after no one else in the Cape delivers quite like SSISA. I was a happy member for many years and still use some of the other service providers at the venue
Chris delpiere (the podiatrist) did an amazing job for me. Would recommend using him
It is indeed an institute with health professionals and a well equipped gym. Good generally but especially for sports injuries and rehabilitation
Love what they do
Very friendly staff and loved the gym and all the services available
Friendly environment and staff. Great new equipment. Not too crowded. Professional instructors. All for a fair price.
Fantastic gym! Not too crowded (even at peak hour) - the trainers are all nice and approachable.
I absolutely love gyming here, way better than Virgin Active in my opinion. I hardly ever have to wait for equipment, parkings free as long as I like, they gave me 4 tailor-made workouts when I started, after doing an initial assessment, people help correct your form and teach you to use new machines... Do yourself a favour and gym here.
Got good sports advice from one of the researchers the this place is very good
Love the free parking 😉 secure and organized.
Always clean and pool temperature is on par with international standards. Highly recommended.
Affordable membership fee, with all the facilities you could want in a gym. Friendly staff with on site nurses. You receive a free physical fitness test upon joining along with a tailor-made work out plan
Very well organised establishment. Excellent Doctor I dealt with.
Such a great place with its layout made me signed up last week. Im so excited
Good conference venue. Cant speak much about anything further. The staff were able to assist with soya milk so coffee was vegan friendly. Good safe parking. Universally accesible.
An amazing place and one I love to visit as often as I can.Facilities and staff and members are all the best.Well done to the whole SSISA family
Great equipment and training with a very personalized touch. I much prefer this to any other gym Ive been to. Its peaceful, the staff are friendly and experts in biokinetics. You get a free establishing session with a biokineticst when you join and a training plan according to your individuals goals. The equipment is modern, clean and always works very well. Theres a huge variety of classes on offer! Great if you want to train alone or join a group.
A complete health experience with experts who guide. A large group of professionals who are good within their field of expertise.
Best gym Ive been too. Just lacks a steam room. Makes up in helpful instructors and well marked equipment.
Well-equipped, spacious gym.
Great personal touch. Reasonably priced. Safe parking.
Incredibly friendly staff. Always clean and well maintained. Love this place!
Sport and Science institution allows every one to learn more and very good lectures...
Take a friend every Monday and the young man Ricky treats her like a queen. The section she attends has closed down so from next year she will be going to another section and is already missing Ricky.
I went to see a physician about an issue who sent me for scans but the list of scans was incomplete. 3 weeks later, I am still waiting to hear from the doctor about the results. On the day, they did offer to give me a cortisone injection based on the fact that they didnt actually know what was wrong 😳 Surely after all we know about cortisone injections and the small success rate it has - with more reports of it doing more harm than good - this shouldnt actually be the failsafe, fallback solution when not actually know whats going on?
Professional Service: Orthopedic Surgeon Willem VD Merwe...recommended
If I could gym there every day it wouldnt be enough. Probably the best gym in Cape Town. Awesome place! Friendly and helpful staff.
