An InBody scan is a non-invasive body composition analysis that measures your body's fat, muscle,bone mass and water content:
How it works
A painless electrical current passes through your body, encountering resistance from fat and bone tissue. The InBody scanner uses the data from the current to calculate your body composition.
(A range of supplements and products trusted by professional athletes and health conscious people who live active lifestyles.)
How it works:
RLT uses low-level red or near-infrared light to stimulate cells and promote healing. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, which helps them produce more energy and repair themselves.

Ems Training is known for its joint friendly nature. Unlike some traditional exercises that may place stress on joints, EMS-induced contractions can be precisely controlled to target specific muscle groups without placing excessive load on joints. This makes EMS an excellent option for individuals with joint issues, as it reduces the risk of exacerbating or causing injuries.
FUN FACT: EMS training is integrated into rehabilitation programs due to it’s ability to aid in muscle recovery and prevent atrophy. During periods of immobilization, such as after an injury or surgery, EMS can maintain muscle mass and strength by stimulating muscle contractions. This minimalizes the extent of muscle loss and accelerates the rehabilitation process, facilitating a quicker return to regular physical activity.
"Health and Active Gym in Gansbaai is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever been to! From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The sense of community and warmth here is unmatched, and it’s what keeps me coming back for more.
I absolutely love the spinning classes — they’re intense but so much fun! The Navy Fit sessions are equally challenging, pushing me to my limits in the best possible way. And the stretch classes? The perfect way to wind down and work on flexibility.
Every time I leave, I feel incredible, both mentally and physically. The trainers know how to push you, but they also make sure you’re having a great time. The atmosphere is filled with so much laughter that my abs aren’t just sore from the workouts, but from all the jokes too!
It’s not just about fitness here; it’s about happiness, community, and well-being. 10/10 in every single aspect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where you can get fit, have fun, and feel like you belong." - Mishke Korkie
