Spotlight on wellness: Inside Afrihost's Fitclub
Article by: Sinazo Tenge
The Afrihost Fitclubbers brought on their A-game to power through the brisk morning chill at the Woodlands parkrun last Saturday.
Every month, we participate in organised 5km group parkruns, proudly wearing our Fitclub gear - it’s hard to miss! This shows how much dedication the team has, and as we gather by the starting line, you can feel the spirit lift.
But that’s not all that we get up to, thanks to our Life at Afrihost team who have made all this and more possible.
What is Fitclub?
Fitclub by Afrihost is an internal initiative that promotes and supports fitness and wellness among staff. Since its inception, it has evolved and grown to be a space that has fostered positive connections and experiences.
In addition to parkruns, our Life at Afrihost team has hosted instructor-led group yoga and fitness sessions right at our headquarters. We’ve also taken part in Wellness Days, where we underwent voluntary wellness screenings, challenged our strengths for awesome prizes, enjoyed Kauai wraps for lunch and spoke to financial advisors.
Another cool feature to highlight about Fitclub, is that it works on a points system where a reward is unlocked with each level one reaches. This has encouraged healthy competition among us, motivated us to work hard, but more importantly led us to continue our fitness and wellness goals beyond the program.
What our Fitclubbers have to say
Our regular and committed Fitclubbers share their experiences:
Charting the leaderboard
Competition keeps us going and seeing one's name move up the leaderboard every week brings a special kind of excitement and determination.

Parkrun milestones
Saturday mornings are simply for parkruns and there’s no turning back. Some of our Fitclubbers celebrated milestones in the first half of the year.
Goal setters
Finding your ‘why’ and reigniting a passion that once was can be the driving force to staying motivated and committed to your goals.?
A sense of community
For some of us, getting out there and sparking a connection with others whilst getting a workout in has been a rewarding experience.
As evident from our experiences, Fitclub has had a significant impact on us. It’s become more than a program. It’s now an ongoing journey that we cherish.

7 个月Hi #Gianvisser, Afrihost customer service is the worst I am even considering going back to RAIN who is the worst of the worst, I have been complaining about their services for a while and on Linkedin they only respond to customers who give them good reviews and dont takkle our concerns, to get any assistance from them on behalf of VUMA is a nightmare their chat agents don't know what goes on their company. I am currently disconnected with FIBRE because I tried to change my banking details on their PAYFAST app thing and accidentally deleted the PAYFAST thing not even sure what this is and why they cant have debit orders like all organisations now I have to wait for them to ask VUMA to release my line than they AFRIHOST have to do a new order them that would take a few days then I must contact them to find out if the line is released and if the order has been placed, WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THAT!!!!! And why must I jump through hoops to use their product that I clearly want to pay for. I wish I could get a hold of the founder, CEO,GM, HEAD anyone that will listen to us that things are made difficult for us. I will be without FIBRE this hole weekend not sure till when. Would not recommend Afrihost to anyone.
