Thabo Mokoena
Head Coach, FiksFabriek
Hi! I’m Thabo. I’m a coach with a serious love for helping people get stronger. I’ve spent the last twelve years training members in gyms across the northern suburbs, from first-timers to competition lifters. I am also a proud Bellville local who still trains every morning.
Diversity of Experiences
Before joining FiksFabriek, Thabo coached at a large commercial gym in Parow and ran strength programmes for school rugby teams across the northern suburbs. He is active in local sport, and he has helped hundreds of members lift their first bodyweight deadlift. Most recently he led our 12 week strength programme as Head Coach and programme designer. After finishing it, 94% of members said they felt stronger and more confident in the gym.
I’ve since focused my time on bringing my coaching experience to an online setting. In 2021 I launched my Barbell Technique programme, which has since become one of our most popular and best rated programmes. I was also voted Bellville Best Personal Coach of 2025.Strength
I’ve spent years figuring out the “formula” for coaching strength safely on a busy gym floor, and I’m really excited to finally share my expertise with you.
I can confidently say that my coaching programmes are some of the most practical ones you will find in Cape Town.
