Gym supervisor helps students tone up for summer

Steve Tromp the gym supervisor helps students tone up for summer by encouraging students to engage in sport and fitness. "Seeing progress is dependent on how you push yourself when being active. You cannot stay in your comfort zone and see results" Tromp said.

The Monash South Africa gym has been a "go-to" for students that have sport and fitness goals. Rikky Fredez, an international student, says that assistants in the gym help students with training and advice on how to make better use of the facilities. "The gym has hosted various events encouraging students to participate. These include fitness endure challenges, Mr and Mrs Fitness competitions and smaller internal challenges to trainers", the student said. 

Tromp says that these competitions enable students to continue to push themselves and in the same way this principle can resonate to their academics and other areas of their lives. Students are excited about the various challenges posed by the supervisor. Tromp says he hosts frequent workout sessions during the week if students want to start their fitness journey. “End the semester of fit and healthy you will thank yourself!” the supervisor said.
