Raised in the Western Cape of South Africa Hans was a complete nature and adrenaline junky. If he wasn’t in school, he was out in the oceanic nature of the Western Cape, jumping and climbing rocks enjoying the freedom away from boarding school. He also loved doing parkour and riding quad, but at the age of 17 weight training became his new obsession. Hans began college at 19 while starting to train more seriously, deciding that it was something he wanted to do lifelong.
Hans studied anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, biochemistry and nutrition until completing his degree at 22 at the University of Potchefstroom, NWU. But that was only the beginning of his years of studying as he began to develop a much deeper interest in real science and the mechanics of how the body works. Hans and his wife later became involved in Hans’ grandmother and late grandfather’s cosmetic family business. There they gained good company experience and Hans became the company’s lead researcher. Hans also started his first male blog to give training and nutritional advice to men.
But Hans and his wife soon realized that the family business and cosmetics wasn’t their cup of tea and it wasn’t the type of life they wanted. In the beginning of 2016, Hans and Anya took a big leap of faith and decided to leave the family business and start their own personal business focused on training, nutrition and lifestyle.
They continue to grow (individually and business-wise) as they expand their knowledge and experience through research and the knowledge of highly experienced (non-mainstream) experts. Today, both Hans and Anya are helping clients around the world to optimize their health through better, healthier and smarter living.
