5 of The Best CrossFit Gyms in Cape Town, South Africa [2024]

Below are five privately owned CrossFit Gyms, in Cape Town, South Africa EVERYONE should know. Whether you enjoy fun competition, personalized training, or amazing equipment, these gyms have you covered. And as always, make sure to stay accountable on the go using MoreGyms!

1. Cape CrossFit (The Factory) - Foreshore

Introducing one of five Cape CrossFit locations: Cape CrossFit Foreshore aka The Factory. The Factory is a 16,000 sq ft, fitness facility, that consists of a CrossFit main floor, an athletics area, and a cardio section. The cardio section is filled with ski ergs, rowers, and fan bikes, along with other tools like dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, and much more. In the cardio section they also allow open gym training in between classes. Plus, unlike most CrossFit gyms, you don't need to have any experience needed. Two interesting facts, that separate this gym from most gyms, are a.) they offer a full Power Bar, with coffees, juices and snacks, and b.) they'll rent out their space for movie shoots.

2. Motely Crew CrossFit

Through the years, there is no doubt Tyron Hatch and Steven van Jaarsveld, Co-Owners of Motely Crew CF, have built a highly respected reputation. Expect a cool aesthetic and really nice equipment when coming to this gym. In addition, this gym is extremely welcoming and always kept clean. Needless to say, whether you're traveling for vacation, or coming here for work, I advise you to utilize their $14 (250 South African Rands) day pass.

3. Unboxed CrossFit

Welcome to the Unboxed CrossFit; a new and improved brand, previously known as FitBox Durbanville/Kuilsriver. However, it was rebranded in May 2023 by Michelle Merand and Simone van Wyk. In fact, in 2019 and 2022, Michelle represented Africa, and competed, at the CrossFit Games. On the other hand, Simone has a history of coaching outdoor bootcamp, coaching on ships, as well as being an expert in weightlifting. Programs at this gym include CrossFit, CardioFit, Personal Training, and Open Gym. If you're traveling for work, or vacationing, I recommend getting a punch card: 10 day passes that in total $65 USD (1200 South African Rands).
