A team that competes at the level you want to reach — led by people who've stood on the stage and coached others onto it.
FitNation HQ was founded in 2020 with one mission: to help people unlock their full potential through expert coaching, accountability and a results-driven approach. In the industry since 2018, Jaco has coached hundreds of clients through life-changing transformations — contest prep, body recomposition, fat loss, muscle building, posing and performance.
He competes at the level he coaches. A two-time Men's Physique Professional, Jaco has represented South Africa on the international stage twice — and in 2025 won the Overall Men's Physique World Championship in Thailand.
In the industry since 2012 — and back on stage in 2025, winning every show she entered. Six years as a national judge means she knows exactly what the scorecards reward: conditioning, posing, detail. Her coaching is transformational — strong bodies, confident mindsets, sustainable lifestyles.
A lifelong natural athlete with a BSc in Biomedical Mathematical Science — Honours in Physiology underway — Regan coaches the way he trains: evidence-based, personalised, no shortcuts. In his first competitive year he took two Junior World Championship titles at the UWSFF Worlds in Thailand.
A university student and bodybuilder who lives the balance he coaches. George-Wilson builds healthy, sustainable lifestyles around the life you actually want — meal and training plans you can keep, and the discipline and fresh perspective to stick to them.
Results aren't handed out — they're built, session by session, meal by meal, week by week. That's the standard every FitNation athlete is held to.
No filters. No shortcuts. Just coaching that shows up in the mirror — and on the scoreboard.
Real FitNation clients and their results. Individual outcomes vary with commitment and consistency.
"20kg gone in six months. The structure and the weekly check-ins kept me honest — I've never felt this strong or this confident."
"39 kilos down and a completely different life. It stopped being a diet and became how I live. Best decision I've ever made."
"Working with coach Jaco and the FitNation HQ team has been a truly transformative experience — not only physically but mentally and emotionally. Coach helped me overcome my own body issues and mental blocks, and instilled the belief that I WILL achieve my goals. The whole team has become like a family to me — I cannot recommend them enough."
