Our story

Horizen Gym exists to help people be better versions of themselves.

It all began in 2019, when then student-athlete Sebastian (Seb) Prentice decided to share his passion for fitness with the people of Stellenbosch.

Offering free group outdoor classes, Seb fell in love with improving people’s lives through fitness.

When COVID19 hit in 2020, however, the group outdoor classes screeched to a halt.

Determined to continue helping people stay fit, Prentice shifted his outdoor classes to an online format, allowing him to reach more people throughout lockdown.

Fast forward 3 years, the Horizen Gym came to be. A space for people to feel comfortable in pursuing the highest version of themselves.

Our Mission

Gym can be an intimidating place, for a lot of people. You’re unsure of what certain machines do and which exercises work best for certain muscle groups. Is your form correct?

Most gyms offer little more than a space for people to train in. There’s plenty of equipment and space but little effort put into guiding members on their fitness journeys.

Horizen exists to guide people on their fitness journeys and to create an environment where people feel excited and comfortable to push themselves and to grow in fitness and in life. To become better versions of themselves.
