About
Coach Tumi Mahlangu started Iron Kasi in 2016 in his mother's garage with two barbells and a group of friends who wanted to get fit before summer. Word spread, the garage filled up, and in 2019 we moved into a converted warehouse on Vilakazi Street.
Today we have five coaches, 400 members and a youth programme that trains teenagers from local schools for free on Saturday mornings.
Consistency beats talent. We celebrate the people who keep coming back.
Every class ends with a team finisher and a round of fist bumps.
Month-to-month memberships, student rates and no joining fee.
