This place has completely changed my life. I joined in January 2021 and have never looked back. I was very nervous at first, until I met a bunch of great, welcoming and enthusiastic people. The coaches are AMAZING, super supportive and extremely patient! This is home!!

Absolutely love training at Ex Animo! Coaches are awesome and so is the community. I have achieved so many goals training here. I never feel like just because Im not a pro and cant do all the movements there isnt a place for me to still get the benefits of CrossFit!

Excellent coaching, friendly people, lots of times slots available to suit your schedule and social distancing is practiced. All equipment is sanitized after every use. If you are new to crossfit they scale all of the movements for you so you can gradually build up strength and fitness. Highly recommended

Ex animo has made fitness fun again. All the coaches are excellent and so good at motivatibg you and creating a comfortable environment so that they can help you achieve your fitness goals. The classes are the perfect size so that you do not get lost in the crowd and the support and encouragement you receive from the coaches and other members keeps you coming back. I would recommend Ex Animo to anyone who wants to improve their fitness.

If you’re looking for a box to call home this would be my pick. Astute coaches who quickly become your friends. A strong and friendly community has formed around Ex Animo, and they make any new joiner feel welcomed in no time.

As a newbie CrossFitter, I really enjoy Ex Animo for their great coaching - all the movements are clearly explained, scaled options are given and there is always lots of encouragement to help get through the WOD!

Awesome gym!Great workouts and amazing community!Highly recommended

Awesome box and people! Justin always goes the extra mile. Best crossfit experience in Jozi.

If you’re looking for a box with great coaching and a welcoming community check out Crossfit Ex Animo! Use to train here when I lived in Joburg and dropped in on a business trip and it was an awesome experience!!

Ive attended other crossfit studios and this place by far tops them all. Great coaches who explain movements clearly and a friendly atmosphere. Anyone from the the beginner to the experienced athlete will feel right at home ;)

My wife and I stayed in Johannesburg for 10 weeks and worked out with Ex Animo for all of that time. Ex Animo has a great space, great equipment, great coaches, great programming, and great community. I am a Level 2 CrossFit coach and have been doing CrossFit for six years and I found Ex Animos programming refreshing and exciting and all of the coaches exceptionally professional and hospitable. It was wonderful for my wife and I to have a CrossFit home away from home.

Loved dropping in at CFXA! The programming was really fun and the coaching was great. Justin was very welcoming and helped me get setup. The space itself is very nice and well-equipped (including Assault Bikes ulgh, haha!). The community was top notch and made me feel included. Id definitely drop in again the next time Im in Johannesburg.For arriving, the box is easy to find. The team is super responsive (I reached out via Facebook Messenger) and was able to make sure I knew who to talk to when I arrived and how much cash I should bring for a drop-in plus t-shirt. (If you dont get a t-shirt, did you really drop-in?)

I have been a member at Ex Animo for 4 years now. It is so much more than a Box, it is a family. we train hard, laugh hard and enjoy the time we spend together.Justin and his team are a world class set of coaches who are dedicated to not only making sure that you getting better and stronger and fitter everyday, but that you feel at home every time you walk into the Box.Justin offers personal one on one training (something that I have used for some time now) to build strength and technical proficiency. This has sent my CrossFit game through the roof and I am so grateful to him for his patience and dedication to make me a better CrossFitter and person.

Been to a couple boxes around SA and if you thinking of a place to call home could not recommend Ex Animo enough. A great mix of beginners and advanced athletes, young and old, men and women. Relaxed and fun atmosphere, supportive community, challenging programming and expert coaching.

Excellent. Great team. Good communication. Great crossfit experience

Amazing place and coaches. I was in Johannesburg for a week and when I messaged about dropping in. They were quick to respond and help in any way possible. Highly recommend

First time trying CrossFit...ever!Honestly one of the best workouts.

Great community of people who love to train together. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a try.

An incredible place to workout. A warm community of people with a common goal to get fit and have fun doing it.

Having been to other gyms in the area, this is definitely the best.Update: 2 years later, and CrossFit ex animo continues to be a motivating, challenging and equipped environment filled with awesome people.

One of my favourite places to train. The vibe and people are awesome. The skill ranges from beginners to advances lifters/CrossFitters. Anyone is welcome and they training will always be worth it.

CrossFit Ex Animo is the greatest. The best coaches create the best atmosphere and programme the most awesome workouts. Highly recommend this place!!!

I am actually the owner, but the fact is I love every minute I spend in the box and I try to make sure thats reflected in the way we train you and the effort we put in to make sure it is run professionally. Pop in for a free trial class.

Best place to train in Joburg!

Great box filled with lovely welcoming people. I started out as a drop in and now I come here every time I’m in Jo’burg.
