Michael t' Sas-Rolfes
After years of issues related to a sedentary lifestyle and compounded by long-term injuries, I started seeing Jaco six months ago to try and address these. The results have been great, with notable improvements to my flexibility, endurance, balance, strength, and overall physical resilience. Jaco is highly conscientious, really understands the human body, and always adaptively tailors his training sessions to my needs (in person or online, when necessary), keeping them interesting and fun. Highly recommended!
Cobus Esterhuyse
Jaco has helped immensely in rehabilitating some old sports injuries and recurring niggles. He is knowledgeable, friendly and goes above and beyond for his clients. His approach to training is both effective and fun. I would highly recommend his services!
Gert Schoeman
Highly recommended! Jaco is very professional, kind, and excellent at what he does. I was treated for my lower back pain - as an office worker, sitting most of the workday - He helped me in my overall posture and strength to move and go about life, and my sports activities were totally painless. Thanks!
Kirsten Lockyer
Thank you Jaco for teaching me that not every run has to be hard and that the "easy" runs are what essentially make you a better runner. Definitely learned a lot from training with GoGrit. If you're looking for someone with expertise in movement, then this is for you. A professional through and through.
