EFC is a new fitness centre in the country and is in its second stage of completion; however, the main gym is fully operational. From dumb bells to spinning bikes, surrounding wall mirrors, the gym affords you a luxurious experience during your time of workout. Maziya mentioned that he was very happy with this opportunity, especially knowing that competing outside the boarders of the country was quite costly. He further stressed that finding the right training facilities was a challenge. EFC came forward to help the outstanding bodybuilder in making sure that he had top of the range facilities to prepare in, as well as the necessary team behind him to affiliate paperwork and financials. “I had a challenge with my diet as most of the food I’m required to eat is very expensive; EFC came and rescued me in that department,” Simanga said during an interview conducted at the EFC. Menzi Zulu, the manager at EFC mentioned that the aim of the centre was to afford the right facilities to the athletes who do not have access to them elsewhere. Talent “We have so much talent in the country. However, talent cannot be properly nurtured without such facilities,” he said. He highlighted a few examples of athletes who have had the chance of going overseas, but returned because of the missing elements within the country of not being able to prepare them to meet the standards outside the boarders of Eswatini. EFC is the first fitness centre in Eswatini to accommodate an outdoor training area (cross-fit or boot camp), boxing area, lap pool, two aerobics studios, auna or steam room or ice plunge pool, health bar and restaurant. The centre is affordable, with three different price plans to suit one’s every fitness need. The health bar will accommodate an outdoor sitting area where one can easily socialise while taking a break, as well as serve as an escape for unhealthy habits. The centre, which will accommodate the needs of any athlete, has affordable price plans to suit the financials of each and every athlete. There is a monthly price plan that stands at E440, a weekly one for E300 and a daily plan for E50.
