We started out with a vision to inspire people to take action in creating a more active lifestyle, because we live to serve others we saw an opportunity for people to grow, not just in fitness but also in other personal aspects.
From our experience on the trails we know that it allows people freedom from everyday stresses and releases them from feeling stuck. For others it’s just a happy place and love going out there on a regular basis.
Being active in the mountains creates a sense of fulfillment like no other and tends to rub off into other areas of life.
Our mission? Maintain a platform for people to grow and transform into the fittest strongest version of themselves through an active lifestyle while gaining priceless experiences and everything related within that parameter.
We’re also focused on giving back to the community by doing events for the youth from informal areas within Cape Town. We give them an opportunity to experience the great outdoors and potentially create a career out of it.
MY FIRST HIKE WITH TRAIL FIT SA WAS AWESOME, EVERYONE WAS JUST SO WELCOMING AND I FELT SAFE BECAUSE ONE OF THE LEADERS (JODY) WAS AT THE FRONT AND THE OTHER (EB) AT THE BACK WITH SLOWER PEOPLE. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT TFS IS THAT THEY DO ALL TYPES OF HIKES, FROM EASY TO CHALLENGING TRAILS WHICH REALLY AWESOME BECAUSE IT GIVES EVERYONE ONE A CHANCE TO ENJOY OUTDOOR LIFE AT THEIR OWN PACE. FINDING TRAILS, FOLLOWING UP WITH PEOPLE, WAITING ON THEM AND A THAT IS NOT EASY BUT YOU STILL TAKE YOUR TIME TO DO IT, I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. KEEP IT UP MAN.
WE LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CITY AND THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING HIKING ROUTES THAT I HAVE YET TO EXPLORE. I’M GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND A HIKING GROUP THAT SHARES THAT SAME INTEREST. HIKING WITH TRAIL FIT SA WAS ENJOYABLE AND SO MUCH FUN! AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED!
TRAIL FIT S.A... ONE PHRASE COMES TO MIND ..." FUN WHILE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE", MY FIRST HIKE WITH TRAIL FIT WAS ON THE TAKE BACK THE MOUNTAINS INITIATIVE WITH A HIKE TO A CAVE AND AT THAT POINT I HAVEN'T BEEN HIKING FOR SOME YEARS, BUT THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE TEAM RE AWAKENED THAT SPARK AND INSTILLED A SENSE OF CAMARADERIE THAT RESONATES WITH ME TO THIS DAY , THE LEADER JODY IS A NICE GUY WELL VERSED IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRAILS AND MAKES IT FUN WITH HIS QUIRKY SENSE OF HUMOUR... AS WELL AS EBIE AND THE GANG... ALL ROUND GREAT TEAM.
I STARTED MY HIKING JOURNEY IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START AND COME ACROSS TRAIL FIT SA. I REACHED OUT TO JODY AND THE REST IS HISTORY. UNFIT BUT DETERMINED, I JOINED JODY FOR MY FIRST HIKE AT CECILIA FOREST. THE HIKING BUG BIT. JODY IS AN EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXPERIENCED HIKER AND LEADS HIS GROUP FROM THE FRONT BUT LEAVES NO ONE BEHIND. HE HAS TAKEN ME TO PLACES THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTS IN CAPE TOWN LOL. JODY'S POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND GO-GETTER ATTITUDE HELPS YOU TO PUSH YOURSELF WHILE ON ANY GIVEN HIKE. JODY CATERS FOR ALL FITNESS LEVELS AND ALWAYS ADVISES UPFRONT WHAT YOUR FITNESS LEVEL SHOULD BE FOR A SPECIFIC HIKE. IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING HIKES CAPE TOWN HAS TO OFFER, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN TRAIL FIT SA.
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT TRAIL FIT SA I WAS CURIOUS TO EXPERIENCE AND EXPLORE THE TRAILS THAT ARE HIKED BY THE TRAIL FIT SA TEAM. I MET A WONDERFUL TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS THAT DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER AND THE AMAZING PART IS THAT EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY. I MET JODY HANSLO, THE LEADER OF TRAIL FIT SA, A VERY COOL DOWN TO EARTH CHAP.
