My dad and I trained with Jacques 2x weekly for a month while I was doing an international orthopedic trauma rotation in cape town. Jacques was fantastic, adapting workouts to ensure we had maximum benefit while being careful to avoid injury to either of us. Would highly recommend strong by grit training to anyone More...

I have been training with Jaques for a few months now focusing on weight training and I have since improved in both my strength and fitness and have seen some good changes with my body shape. He is always attentive to my form and pushes me when I need it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer with knowledge and dedication. He's also very understanding when I've had to postpone a session giving such short notice. More...

Jacques has been instrumental in kickstarting my fitness journey.
His calm and patient approach encouraged me to improve my form and develop strength with exercises that were previously very difficult for me.
He is very knowledgeable but also not afraid to push you to surpass your limits.
I highly recommend his services to anybody looking to begin their fitness journey or even improve their existing exercise regime.

I really like working with Jacques as a personal trainer. He knows how far to push me and knows exactly which muscles I'm using for an exercise.
His PT style is he has all his attention on me while I exercise, helping me how to do the exercise correctly.
His rates are cheaper than a lot of other trainers and really help me achieve my goals.
I cannot stress it enough that I want a trainer that knows how to do the exercises and is giving his full attention. Really amazing working with Jacques. I recommend him.

For a while I wanted a personal trainer, and found Jacques at Strong By Grit.
He helped me from the first day we met with a plan of action on how we're going to achieve my goals.
He provided assistance on a level which I want from a personal trainer. Push me a little, provide additional information on my training and measure my body from top to bottom.
He is professional and having options to pay like debit / credit cards and even pay over 2 months on his website. I recommend Jacques at Strong By Grit.

"I am 49 years old with no medical conditions, except for lower back and shoulder issues that would prevent me from participating in a physical fitness program.
He has helped improve my lower back and shoulder issues considerably.
Jacques Maritz is my personal trainer meeting three times a week (up to four). He created interesting workouts that allowed me to improve my strength, flexibility, and balance.
Jacques is always pleasant while reminding me to maintain the correct body position. Looking forward to more sessions!
I would recommend anyone who would like to improve their fitness to work with Jacques."
