Food is fuel, culture and enjoyment.
How you eat should fuel you to perform at the gym, home and at work – not restrict you. Our nutrition coaching will tailor a plan to you and your goals, no fad diets, juice cleanses or any other extreme calorie restrictive diets.Our goal is to find a sustainable way to reach your body composition goals, while still enjoying the good stuff, having soul-warming meals with friends and family, and not feeling guilty about it.
- No strict diets, just healthy and sustainable habits
- Learn how to structure better meals without taking the enjoyment out of eating
- Take your performance to the next level
- Weekly check-ins from your nutrition coach to help you stay accountable
We're here to simplify, empower and guide you on your health journey.
Intermittent fasting, keto, paleo, vegan,, zone, Atkins, and on and on. Wave after wave of new diets and what is the “right” way to eat. So much so that the information we see on social media is no longer helpful but just plain confusing and overwhelming.
Now, we’re not saying diets are bad, but they are still diets. And what we hear when someone says “diet” is that you need to overhaul your life on day one and set “rules” for what you can and cannot eat. It’s their way or the highway. The problem with that is, firstly, that everyone is unique—your body type, your goals, your preferences, your budget, your relationship with food, and your time. Secondly, for anything to work, it needs to be sustainable. How many times have you started a diet only for it to last a few weeks?

The beginning of my fitness journey has been amazing thanks to friendly, passionate and professional team of coaches at Willow way Brooklyn. I look forward to training each time. Thanks Guys!
Syson Kunda
“train because you want to” – a very fitting tagline. We can’t get enough. Every training session is highly enjoyable and we are already seeing great results after 1 month of training here. The coaches are amazing and overall just a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
Leanie Barnard
After living a sedentary lifestyle my entire adult life, it wasn’t easy deciding to start exercising. However, from the day I walked into Willow Way Atterbury, my apprehensiveness, level of fitness, and skill level were all considered. The friendly coaches guided me through difficult routines and also encouraged me to take on challenges. They patiently answered my many questions.
Initially, my plan was to exercise at least three times a week. Now, I feel disappointed if I don’t attend classes six days a week. Willow Way Fitness is about more than just exercising. It’s about new friends and personalities, the banter before class, the breathlessness after class, Saturday morning coffee, and the never-ending goal to try just a little harder every time you walk into the gym.
My awkwardness has grown into confidence; what was stiff became supple, and what was immovably heavy yesterday is the warm-up weight of today. Willow Way Atterbury has made me fitter, stronger, and happier than I have ever been in a very long time.”

The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help you achieve your fitness goals. The family/community aspect of Willow Way is also amazing – everyone is genuinely interested in each other’s progress and there’s a real sense of camaraderie. I’ve never been a functional fitness enthusiast before, but Willow Way Centurion has completely changed my mindset and introduced me to a new level of fitness. I feel stronger, more confident, and more energized since I started. If you’re looking for a challenging, but rewarding workout experience, definitely give Willow Way Centurion a try!”

When I first joined Willow Way I needed to fall in love with training again.
After joining I didn’t just love it, I was able to gain skills in order to complete with the best there is.
My focus has now shifted and Willow Way is keeping up! A balance in programming ensures that I can show up every day. This translates into a healthy life outside the gym as well.
Willow Way is for every single person. If you are an athlete, or an person trying to keep healthy. The combination of consistent programming and excellent coaching allows for success.
P.s the dogs love the community runs!
Demi-Lee Preston
Great community of people who are serious about healthy lifestyle and getting fit, without being too serious and in your face about it.
Rudi Kloppers
I’ve always tried to exercise and train throughout my life, but I never had the proper motivation to stay committed.
Since joining Willow Way, it has been so easy to stay committed and train. Going to the gym now is very convenient and part of my routine, and the results quickly showed. I’m now in the best shape of my life. My morning sessions set me up for the rest of the day and keep me motivated throughout the day.
My fitness level has also drastically increased, and I have much more energy to enjoy all the other parts of my life and hobbies, like entertaining my kids with whatever they ask of me and even putting together a solid round of golf without deteriorating towards the end like I used to do. Although my fitness level is at its best that it has ever been in my adult life, I’m still motivated by the coaches and myself to work and push harder to increase this level. It’s so much fun to actually see the results and general improvement, and I’m very excited about my life and the journey ahead.

The good :
- great facility and equipment
- good hygiene protocols in place
- high quality, very professional coaching
- a really supportive and uplifting community
- suitable and challenging for any fitness level
- always an unbelievable workout and “pick me up”
- plenty additional options for training enhancement (mobility classes, sports massage, running club, personal training)
The bad: highly addictive – you will never be able to train anywhere else 🙂
Nadine Nel
Top quality facilities, equipment and workouts. The coaches are excellent and made me feel part of the community from the very start. They accommodate for all fitness levels and offer personalized support and motivation during training sessions. Thanks to Willow Way Brooklyn, I am able to reach my fitness goals like never before while also having fun and meeting new friends. 10/10, would highly recommend!
Sonika van der Riet
At Willow Way Brooklyn the pursuit of fitness is both fun and challenging. Everyone fit or unfit has a place in this gym. Every class attended is an opportunity to learn something new from the team of dedicated and highly professional coaches. Try it.
Mapaseka Weimer
I started my health journey in 2020. Taking my health seriously had never been a priority for me; it was always easier to ignore. However, I realized that my decision to ignore it would eventually have consequences for the people I care about, such as my wife and sons. Not being able to be active and live a full life was always just an excuse for me, but I didn’t want my sons to have me as a role model at that stage. So, I took responsibility and started my journey.
In 2020, I joined Willow Way to assist in speeding up my weight loss. I gained much more than I could have ever imagined. Unintentionally, I made great friends who motivate me to continually be a better version of myself. I have been a member since the first day Willow Way Atterbury opened their doors, and I can honestly say it feels like an extension of my home. The coaches are great and have become friends, and the staff and coaches are authentic and real. Knowing and trusting them has allowed me to consistently improve throughout my time there. Just consistently showing up to the classes was effectively all it took to improve my health in the long run. Without sounding like a “fat loss” commercial, I am really able to live an active life and I am one step closer to being a better person and role model to the people I care about.
Tinus Meyer
I have been a member at Willow Way Centurion for almost 2 years now, and I can confidently say that it’s been an incredible journey. The gym offers a variety of functional training workouts that have improved both my physical and mental health. The coaches, Daniel and Stephan, are amazing and extremely knowledgeable and provide personalized attention to each and every member. They’ve helped me to push past my limits and achieve things that I never thought possible. When l look back on when l first started at Willow Way Centurion and where l am now and the things l have managed to accomplish l cannot help but feel proud, I look good, I feel good and I am happy.
But what truly sets Willow Way Centurion apart is the sense of community that’s been fostered here. I’ve made friends who have become family, and the support and encouragement that I’ve received from both the coaches and fellow members have been invaluable. The gym has taught me the importance of a “can-do” attitude, discipline, resilience, and consistency, and I’m proud to say that these values have spilled over into other aspects of my life and l am truly grateful. To anyone looking for a welcoming and supportive environment to help them achieve their fitness goals, then Willow Way Centurion is a great place to be. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, this gym has something to offer for everyone.

Justin Austin
I have been going to Willow Way Atterbury regularly for the past four months, and it has been an amazing experience. Initially, I was intimidated by the equipment and the fit individuals around me, but the coaches have been incredibly helpful and supportive. Going to the gym has become a regular part of my routine, and I look forward to it every day, especially the Saturday classes. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their physical and mental health.
Creshimer Mxotshwa
Really enjoying being part of the gym. Willow Way Brooklyn has a great team of coaches along with well worked out all round programming that keeps you coming back for more.
Great job team. 💪
Jarred Paddey
Going to the gym at Willow Way Atterbury is the best start to my day; it really gets me going. The facilities are awesome – always neat and clean. It’s a great feeling to know that I’ll be arriving at the gym to train with like-minded people and be trained by coaches who want more from life, but who also want to help us as members improve and we have fun while doing it.
When I first started at Willow Way, I was very overweight, weighing 140kg. But with their help, I lost around 40kg. They have been with me through thick and thin, helping me not only improve my physical appearance but also gain confidence in my abilities and what I can do inside and outside of the gym. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Terrence Viviers
Upon moving to Pretoria I tried out a couple of CrossFit boxes before deciding to join Willow Way. With a few years of experience in other countries, I’ve visited quite a few boxes. They are by far the most organized, welcoming and friendly one, with the most attentive coaching. Most classes will have two coaches for high quality feedback. Yoga, kids/teen CrossFit, a nutritionist, lots to offer. It’s a large gym with a lot of members (largest number of entries to the Open of any box in Africa and in the top ten globally) but you never feel lost in a crowd or faceless. Nimble to continue to provide options for workouts, even during lockdown phases.
