January 2020 Berné and Ronel Fourie starts their first year with their newly bought Gymnastics Club in Vanderbijlpark. March 2020 Covid19 hits South Africa. Hit hard from the start, they persevered and has built a club that has grown each and every year.
Berné himself was a SA Gymnast in his school years and has always had a fondness for the sport. Ronel studied Human Movement Science at Pukke and was an avid athlete at her high school in Springbok, Namakwaland. Victrix Ludorum 3 years in a row and part of her schools 1st Netball team.
This passion for sport inspired them to start their first Gymnastics Club in 1999 in Middelburg, Mpumalanga. Due to unforeseen circumstances they eventually sold the club and Berné with a background in Construction went to work in the Congo for a couple of years while Ronel moved closer to family in Vanderbijlpark.
In 2016 Ronel started helping out at the local Gymnastics Club in Vanderbijlpark and at the end of 2019, when the previous owner decided to sell, they jumped at the opportunity to once again pursue their dream. Supported by their children (both coaches) and family (always somewhere in the background) they give a home away from home and teach children that with hard work, discipline and respect (for themselves and others) they can make their dreams come true.
