Meet Tristan Tayop: Boss Fit's New Trainer and Ath...
We’re thrilled to introduce our new team member, Tristan Tayop!
“I know exactly how my clients feel because I have been there and use my experience to help them transform their lives like I did.”
Boss Fit is owned by Jaco Louw, a personal trainer and former competitive bodybuilder.
“Boss Fit is a supportive and judgement-free environment where everyone is focused on achieving their goals. It's a place where you can feel comfortable and confident, surrounded by people who uplift and encourage each other."
After embarking on a transformation journey of his own, Jaco Louw went from being a skinny boy with low self-esteem to being a participant in bodybuilding competitions.
Now, as the owner of Boss Fit, Jaco is the fittest he has ever been and finds joy in using his experience and expertise to help people reach their fitness goals.
Nicola Louw has included fitness in her life since she was at school after which she played community netball. This passion for exercise eventually led her to go to the gym where she loved how good Step and HIIT workouts made her feel.
Nicola’s passion inspired her to become a Step Instructor in 2014 and hasn't stopped ever since. In 2016 and 2017 she successfully competed in fitness shows in the beach model category.
Marzanne Cloete was bitten by the exercise bug in 2020 when she needed a way to keep fit during lockdown. From YouTube workouts at home to exercise sessions with her friends and family, Marzanne grew her passion for group workouts.
Marzanne believes in helping people feel welcome and encouraging them to have fun in a judgement-free exercise environment. Working out is not just about looking good on the outside, it is about feeling great on the inside!
Jan Otto’s passion for being a fitness instructor developed from his healthy lifestyle and love for exercising at the gym.
Jan instructs group classes as well as personal weight training and cardio sessions.
Encouraging people to reach their fitness goals brings Jan great joy. He is always available to answer questions and give advice.
Tristan Tayob was a top athlete at school and excelled in hurdles and relays, wearing his Western Province colours and winning a notable collection of trophies and certificates.
Tristan joined Boss Fit in 2024, and gym owner Jaco Louw immediately noticed his dedication to his training program. Jaco approached Tristan about a future as a trainer and the two are now working towards this goal.
Tristan works at reception and is involved as an assistant in the daily group classes.

"I wanted to take a moment to share my incredible journey with Boss Fit gym. Since joining in March 2024, I am incredibly grateful for the impact it’s had on my life. Before joining, I had never been a member of any gym before. However, now I cannot imagine my life without it. Boss Fit offers more than a place to work out and improve your physical appearance. It is a space where you can cultivate mental strength and resilience. Each drop of sweat, every repetition, and every minute of cardio pushes me beyond my limits and helps me build mental fortitude. The challenges I face in the gym have taught me the value of persistence and never giving up. I want to thank the trainers for creating a supportive and motivating environment. I can't wait for my journey to continue and to see where it takes me next." Happy Member
"I had Jan Otto as my instructor at Boss Fit gym for four months. Jan's background in multiple sports came to the fore during our sessions. Training was often focused on building functional strength which has stood me in good stead outside the gym. He always kept things fresh with new exercises. I am happy with his work ethic, knowledge and way of explaining and would recommend Jan to friends and family." Jacques

“Ek wil net baie dankie sê aan Boss Fit en sy span, ek het nooit die nodige motiveering gahad om op te staan en by die gym uit te kom nie, julle het my gedruk en gedra tot waar ek nou is en ek is seker daarvan daar gaan net nog verbeteringe kom met tyd. Ek voel great! Ek is tans 9.4kg af in ses maande en ek het sentimeters verloor en opgetel op al die regte plekke. Baie dankie Boss Fit, julle maak Gansbaai lekker.” Pietie Trautman
“Ek wil net vir elkeen van julle by Boss Fit en elke lid dankie sê. Dankie dat niemand voel hy of sy word geoordeel nie. Dankie dat julle ons altyd motivate, help, luister en raad gee. Dankie dat ek en almal om my so gemaklik kan voel, al kom mens partykeer op n punt wat dit voel of daar geen verandering is nie. Ek het nooit gedink dat gym so deel van my leefwyse sal raak nie. Danki Boss Fit!” Riana Groenewald

"I spent a week in Gansbaai and immediately looked for a gym. My Airbnb host told me to check out Boss Fit. I received a warm welcome on arrival. Jaco is a very nice guy. It's a small gym with everything you need for a good workout. Dumbbells up to 40kg+, barbell plus enough weights, and proper machines like hack squat, ham curl, etc. All the machines work and the gym is clean. They also do small group classes. The trainers are very friendly. Jaco is very hospitable and even gave me a free T-shirt when I left on the last day. I enjoyed working out there and will return on my next visit.” Rinus, Netherlands
“When I first joined the gym at Boss Fit, I decided to start personal training. It helped me to find my groove and lose weight consistently, which kept me motivated. Since starting my Boss Fit journey, I have lost 89cm and 11.5kg. Now I am fitter and happier than ever. Thank you Jaco Louw and Boss Fit. Finding fitness changed my life and health.” Michelle Booker
