About Me

My Name is Tertius Barnard or Coach-T. I believe fitness is more than sets and reps, it’s a powerful tool to build confidence, manage stress, and create the energy and resilience you need to show up fully in every part of life.

​

Why I Do This:

I love helping people create healthier lives. I’ve seen firsthand how consistent training transforms bodies and how it fundamentally shifts how people handle life’s pressures. Exercise is one of the most reliable ways to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and gain control when everything else feels unpredictable. That’s why I focus on training that strengthens both your body and your ability to cope with stress.

​

My Approach:

• 100% personalised: Every plan is tailored to your goals, experience, schedule, and any physical limitations.

• Balanced and sustainable: I combine strength, mobility, and conditioning work with recovery strategies so you feel better, not burned out.

• Practical and empowering: I teach you why we do each exercise so you can keep making progress outside our sessions.

• Stress-aware coaching: I use breathing, movement quality, and mindful progressions to help regulate nervous system responses and build resilience.

​​

Who I Work With:

I partner with busy professionals, parents, athletes returning from injury, Pre and Post Natal clients and anyone who wants a supportive, non-judgmental space to improve their health. If you want structure, accountability, and a plan that fits your life — we’ll get you there.

​​

What to Expect:

• A clear, achievable plan built around your life and goals

• One-on-one coaching with real-time feedback and adaptations

• Measurable progress and tools to manage stress and recover faster

• Friendly, accountability and a focus on long-term success
