Exciting update from Proactive Fitness!
Mathew Browne grew up in KwaZulu-Natal. Later, he spent six years working abroad as a personal trainer at Holmes Place, the most elite fitness training brand in the United Kingdom.
In 2002, Mathew returned to South Africa and settled in Hermanus. After managing a gym in Eastcliff for a few years, he realised his dream and established PROactive Fitness in 2009.
In 2021, PROactive Fitness Hermanus moved to its world-class fitness centre on the premises of the Hermanus Sports Club.
