Profile

Dexter Chapman has been working at Maties Gymnasium since 2019, and for him, the best thing about working here is the members and the opportunity to engage with people from different backgrounds.

He believes in keeping fit because it makes him feel good and relax. "I enjoy it to move – exercising is a good breakaway and gives me a chance to de-stress."

His advice for people to get fit is to keep it simple. "Keep it simple, start small and be patient."

He says personal service is the reason why Maties Gymnasium is so popular amongst its members. “Since our gym is so small, we make a point of getting to know everyone. I love working with the members.”
