Meet your new Trainer

My name is Jaco Claasen, and I have been helping people from all walks of life to obtain their fitness goals almost a decade. If there is one thing that I have learned over the years. It’s that you can never say you know everything, because every day brings with it a new lesson.

I have been blessed to work with all types of clients from sedentary to professional athletes and I realize that every person is not only unique but also requires a different approach to achieving their fitness goals. No two people are equally fit, strong or mobile nor do they have the amount of time available to spend in the gym (if they can get to a gym at all!).

Coming from a professional sporting background, I know the importance of taking care of your body. As we are moving into a more technological age, our lives are getting busier and busier each and every year.  We spend more time in traffic and behind a desk, creating anatomical problems that have a negative effect on our lives. As such, more and more people are discovering the importance of moving well.

That’s where I come in. It doesn’t matter how fit or strong you are, where you live or what equipment you have to your disposal.  I can create a program to fit your specific needs and help you achieve your fitness goals.

MY CORE OFFERINGS

I am able to provide the following world class personal training services either in person or completely online. 

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

Functional Training has many amazing benefits , but only if the movements are performed correctly and safely.

WEIGHT LOSS TRAINING

Many people believe, incorrectly, that they need to stay away from resistance training and only focus on cardio.

PERFORMANCE TRAINING

Performance training focuses on preparing athletes for any challenge ins a specific sport. 

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

“Since training with Jaco, my fitness level, muscle tone and strength improved, and with that came confidence in myself and my abilities.”

Leonie Smith

“Our challenge besides not being able to go to the gym was we have a 17 year hockey fanatic, a Mom that’s not sporty but would like to remain active and a 50 year old ex hockey player. Jaco was able to very cleverly give us three different fitness programs in the confinement of our home that we were able to do together. He analyses our home and used the surroundings as effective equipment. The excerices were challenging but rewarding and was money very well spent- As an international sportsman and a diverse active family, we would highly recommend Jaco.”

Craig, Karin and Liam Garrett

“I am a 53 years young lady I came to Jaco in mid January 2020 . I have bone degeneration on my spine and suffer from slipped disc and had terrible nerve pain and joint pain . After training with Jaco for about 1 month my body changed, my joint pain and especially my back pain disappeared. We started slow  and then started adding in more workout as my body got stronger . I am currently still training with Jaco on Zoom 4 times a week. For me it is a necessary evil to train with a good trainer who understands my needs and so far. Jaco has done just that . I sleep without pain and wake up without pain . I would recommend Jaco anytime especially for people with health issues and just anyone who needs a trainer with a difference.”

Marjory Swart

“Sweat met Pret! I have the fortunate pleasure of having Jaco Claassen as my Personal trainer for the past three years. He is a superhuman being who has the unique ability to make you “Sweat met Pret”. His sessions are fun, interactive, and focused whilst being tailored to suit clients with specific fitness requirements. Jaco has exemplary manners and the strong belief in his faith serves as his foundation for all that he does.  Jaco comes highly recommended by myself and my son who has recently joined me in my sessions with him.”

Jessogan Chetty

“I am a 67-year-old male and have been training with Jaco Claassen since September 2017.
When I met Jaco, I had picked up some weight but also not very healthy as I was having body pains because of lack of exercising. In 6 months of my training with Jaco three times a week, my fitness level increased, my sleeping pattern improved. What impresses me with his training technique is that he paces an individual based on his assessment of the client and gradually increases the level of exercising and explains each and every exercise to me. He explains the effect of the exercise and why he is doing it. I have now increased my number of training days to five a week and confident of myself because my health has improved a lot and feel very healthy and strong in the two years that we have been together. The other important strength that he possesses is his personality which appeals to me as he is passionate about what he does and never rushes me when I battle with some exercises. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in getting a personal trainer.”

Vincent Williams

“Jaco and I started working together just before my 18th birthday in 2017. I was then ranked just outside the top 1000 in the world (juniors) of tennis. I finished that year, five tournaments later, at a career high of 459.  Before meeting Jaco I trained with groups and academies in many countries such as Spain, England, Cyprus, America and Germany, but Jaco is easily more knowledgeable and his methods are more modern than anyone else I’ve worked with.  I’ve since turned professional and have competed with the worlds best, achieving a career high ranking of 920 (ATP Doubles) in just six months of playing on tour, beating teams and players ranked as high as 500 and below and also training with players inside the top 100. As a professional tennis player, specialising in doubles, I need a combination of strength, flexibility, fitness, agility, power and reaction. Jaco has helped me maintain balance in all these aspects of my training. He clearly understands what is needed to achieve your goals at a professional level and is excited to walk the journey with you.”
