Kayla Itsines Makes Her South African Debut
The name drawing the crowds is Kayla Itsines. The international fitness icon and co-founder of the Sweat app is visiting South Africa for the very first time, and she will lead a live bootcamp on stage. Picture a venue full of women moving together, with one of the world’s best-known trainers setting the pace.
If you have ever followed one of her workouts at home, this is a rare chance to join her in person. And if you have not, it is a wonderfully welcoming way to find out what all the excitement is about.
A Day That Goes Beyond the Gym
The bootcamp is the headline, but the programme is packed. Top trainers will lead movement and wellness sessions, including breathwork, a dance warm-up and a plank challenge that is sure to bring out some friendly competition.
Between workouts, the Pulse Talks bring together notable speakers for panels and talks on women’s health, mindset and empowerment. It is a chance to leave with fresh ideas as well as a good sweat.
Food, Brands and Pampering
The Food & Brand Village offers curated food vendors, clean eating options and health and wellness brand activations to explore at your own pace. Dedicated touch-up stations and pampering spaces mean you can freshen up during the day and stay ready for the next session.
Stay for the PowerHER After-Party
From 17:00 to 21:00, the festival becomes a party with an all-female music lineup. Lady Zamar, Ayanda MVP, Kayzia, Indigo, Lady Lea and Tinkz will be performing, making it the perfect way to close out the day with friends.
