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

The best venue for small to medium sized TED talk type presentation and networking events. Fantastic in-house catering makes hiring an absolute breeze.The event management staff are of the best I have experienced.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
