Bodies Under Construction (BUC) Personal Training was established early 1995. At the time personal training was still a new concept and has consequently grown at a rapid rate over the past few years. Personal Training offers clients the opportunity to manage their gym time more effectively and efficiently in order to achieve their desired results. The BUC Personal Fitness Studio was set up in 1997 in Sea Point, Cape Town. The emphasis is on focused personal training by qualified staff that assesses each client and tailor make a program for each individual client based on their specific needs.

Our new world class facility has already been featured on Top Billing and in numerous international advertisements and publications. Training at BUC Fitness Club allows you access to state of the art resistance training equipment unique only to BUC and never seen in South Africa. These machines are designed in a specific manner that allows what we refer to as TARGET LOADING. Without question, Target Loading is taking international fitness enthusiasts by storm! Following 20 years of research in this field, Target Loading is considered to be one of the most effective strength training methods available today. Target Loading arms each user with the ability to vary the resistance curve of the exercise. Maximal resistance can be placed at any point in the range of motion (beginning, middle, end, etc.). Although this is a very simple process, the results are powerful! Muscles are optimally trained through all ranges of motion - leading to better results in less time, shorter yet more comprehensive workouts, increased muscle fiber recruitment and elimination of over-training.
