    I am 67 and have been working with Cynthia since April. She has transformed my strength and mobility. After a serious illness I had a long way to go but with her guidance I am now fitter than I have been for many years. She is knowledgeable, encouraging and always careful to make sure I progress safely without injury. I can't recommend her highly enough. It is well worth the expense.

    Aaron has been an absolute pleasure to work with and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He has provided both my wife and me with valuable insights that have helped us better understand our training, movement and overall fitness. What really stands out is his patience, kindness and genuine commitment to helping us improve. He is incredibly flexible and accommodating around our busy schedules, while still keeping us accountable and motivated. He is consistently encouraging, knowledgeable and positive, and has created an environment where we both feel comfortable pushing ourselves and progressing at our own pace. We’ve genuinely enjoyed our sessions with Aaron and have seen a noticeable difference in our strength, confidence and understanding of training. He’s not just a great trainer, he genuinely cares about the people he works with. Thank you, Aaron, for all the effort, encouragement and expertise you bring to every session. We’re looking forward to continuing the journey!

    BodyBack South Africa is one of the professionals I hired to repair my body. My trainer Asare put a program together for me specific to the back, hip and shoulder pain I have. In 2 and a half months, I started walking normally. Within 4 I could stand up straight. But how I cried! I lay on the floor unable to do even basic movements and just cried. Getting up and down onto the yoga mat was excruciating. He just patiently and calmly held the space for me, and never let me go, even when I called him a fascist and a sadist! He brought me back to life one hour a week at a time. How we cheered when I could lift my arm off the ground too! I started the week after I buried my mother and got divorced (Thursday mom funeral, Sunday my birthday, Monday divorced). Tears involuntarily flowed with sadness as I tried to do the exercises. Asare just patiently let me feel it all, gently grounded me and encouraged me to keep going. Unfortunately a homeopath twisted my back and arm wrong and set me back 3 months recently, so I had to start all over again. But I'm back on track again. Having these stress related health issues the past few years has been a massive wake up call. I've barely been sick my whole life, till the last 3 years. I realized there are no shortcuts on this, noone can heal my body for me. Only I can do that. And I've come to realize that without my health, I have very little. So changes are being made, slowly but surely. Being able to just stand up and walk, or just bend down to pick something up is a true gift! Not swallowing handfuls of painkillers every day is even better! Now if I take them once a month it's a lot, and I'm only 4 months into my physical healing journey. Within 2 months I was strong enough to join a beginners walking group. Within 3, I could hike a mountain. Within 4, I could run most of a 4km walking route. Imagine what I can do in 6! And I struggled to get out of a bed and chair for 3 years, waking up and living in constant, unrelenting pain. Not anymore! Thank you Asare from BodyBack South Africa.

    Eric has been a life saver! I lost 3kg in two months with him and I've gained muscle as I've continued. He always has helpful advice and is lovely to talk to while resting. He perfectly constructs a training plan based on your progress and is always able to adjust the exercise based on your needs. He constantly challenges me to improve and is always able to deliver. My friends and family have noticed a significant improvement in my overall health and physique since I started with Eric. I cannot recommend him enough!

What makes BodyBack biokineticists different?

BodyBack biokineticists are managed, client rated and proven, so you are not left to judge quality on your own. Every biokineticist on our books is managed to keep the standard high, and rated by the people who matter most: our clients.

With proven outcomes and strong reviews behind us, you can trust BodyBack to deliver quality at-home biokinetics.

The BodyBack team of trainers who work across South Africa

What happens during a biokinetics session at home?

Each biokinetics programme is personalised to your body, your injury or condition and your goals, not handed to you from a template. Your biokineticist assesses your movement and history first, then builds a plan of clinical exercise therapy around what you specifically need.

Why train with a biokineticist at home instead of at a practice?

Training at home removes the commute to a practice or gym, so biokinetics fits into your week instead of competing with it. Our mobile biokineticists come to you, making it easier to keep every session instead of missing the ones a drive across town would cost you.

Does biokinetics at home cover more than exercise?

Yes. Beyond the exercises themselves, your biokineticist also guides you on home exercises between sessions and on dietary habits that support your recovery, so the approach covers your whole health, not just the workout.

Flexibility is how far a muscle will lengthen; mobility is how well a joint moves through its range under control. Desk work, driving and years of sitting quietly erode both, and most people only notice once something aches or gives way.

Mobility sessions with an at-home personal trainer are guided, hands-on and specific to where you are tight, usually hips, shoulders, upper back and hamstrings. Your trainer assesses your range in your own home, works on the restrictions that matter, and leaves you with the short daily routines that keep the gains, taught in the same room where you will do them.

Mobility work protects everything else in your plan: better range means better squats, fewer niggles and a body that still moves well in twenty years.

Functional training builds strength for the things you do outside of training: carrying shopping, lifting a child, moving furniture, getting off the floor, working in the garden. It trains movement patterns rather than isolated muscles.

There is a neat logic to using an at-home personal trainer for this. The environment your trainer works in is the environment you actually move in. Stairs, doorways, garden slopes and floor space all become part of the session, so the strength you build transfers straight into daily life instead of into a machine you will never sit in again.

Particularly valuable for older clients, for anyone returning to activity after a long break, and for anyone whose goal is simply to move confidently and without pain.

Most training injuries come from the same short list: doing too much too soon, moving badly under load, and ignoring an imbalance until it becomes a problem. An at-home personal trainer catches all three early, because they see every rep rather than the last set.

Conditioning work strengthens the supporting structures (core, glutes, shoulders, ankles and knees) and the loading is managed so your body adapts instead of breaking down. If you are coming back from an injury, or working around a long-standing one, private personal training at home means the plan is built around your limitations, with no pressure to keep up with anyone else.

Where a clinical eye is called for, our in-house biokineticist can join an online session with you and your trainer to assess the issue and shape the programme around it.

Athletic preparation is training with a date on it. Whether it is school trials, a club season, a race, a tournament or a fitness test, the programme works backwards from the event through phases of conditioning, strength, speed and taper.

Sessions run at your home, which means the athlete trains around school, work and team practice instead of choosing between them, and parents are not driving to a third venue in the same afternoon. Your at-home personal trainer builds the qualities the sport demands and watches the workload so that peak condition lands on the right week.

Sports coaching is available in selected areas, and an online assessment with our in-house biokineticist can be added when the goal warrants a closer look at movement and readiness.
