About Fit City
We want you to gather, take up space and spark new life into the city by moving through it together. Crawl, stretch, or sprint — it doesn't matter — just move and enjoy the city.
A community united by movement
Fit City is built by people who love the city and love having fun. We wanted to share our curiosity with others by creating experiences that invite people to explore iconic spaces, and fall in love with the city.
We think movement is the easiest excuse to get people into the same place at the same time, and that the being-together is the actual point. Whether you're a Taichi walker, middle child, hybrid athlete, coach or just in charge of keeping your colleagues healthy and entertained, we can create the best excuses to move and enjoy it with others.
We connect people, communities, brands and city partners to create healthier, more active and connected cities. Johannesburg is the first city we are igniting.
Our Mission
To turn Joburg's public spaces into places people actually gather — using movement as the reason, and community as the result.
Our Vision
A city where the streets, parks and squares belong to the people who live around them, and where showing up to move is a normal part of daily life.
What Makes Fit City Different
Four things we hold to:
Community First
We help people find fitness communities they can plug into and find belonging in.
Iconic City Locations
We bring people to their city's most recognisable landmarks and neighbourhoods.
Safety
Safety is a prerequisite for every experience we invite people to share in — before, during and after our planned activities.
Rewarding
We use rewards to motivate actions that benefit you beyond the obvious health gains of movement.
Supporting Cities & Their Communities
We build for the city we live in. Every event turns a street or a landmark into somewhere people gather, spend and stick around.
By creating safe, welcoming and active environments, we help build stronger, healthier communities. Every event is an opportunity to bring neighbours together, support local businesses and showcase the forgotten beauty and energy of a city.
