About Us

Rina Loubser and Helen Arenhold opened their first womens' fitness studio in Melkbosstrand, and 3 months later the second one in Rondebosch, Cape Town in partnership with Chantal Botha. Chantal is a qualified personal trainer as well as a certified fitness nutrition specialist and runs the Rondebosch branch.

Due to the popularity and rapid growth in this industry, they made the decision to represent PACE in South Africa, and are now marketing the equipment. The aim is to open a chain of studios under the name of "Fast PACE Fitness", with the support and joint resources, but without the added cost of a franchise. PACE equipment is marketed by Pro Fit Enterprises in America.

The principal of Pro*Fit Enterprises is Rande LaDue. Rande has been in the Fitness Industry over 20 years, opening his first health club in upstate New York. He has owned, managed and worked in several facilities and consulted with hundreds of clubs across the country. In 1991, Rande was hired by a major medical company to be the Director of Sales for its PACE Fitness Division. At that time, the industry was changing: articles were being written about the aging baby boomers, the deconditioning of America and seniors, but few fitness companies were doing anything about it. Rande saw PACE as the perfect non-intimidating hydraulic circuit program to help attract those people who typically did not join health clubs (the overweight, women, the deconditioned, seniors, busy executives, etc.), so he decided to accept this challenge.

Rande has marketed PACE since then. He currently is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of PACE through Pro*Fit Enterprises. Rande's business philosophy in distributing PACE is that every program must be a win-win situation for all concerned. "There can be no losers in a business with long-term goals and a commitment to excellence." Another of Rande's favorite saying is "There is no monopoly on brains". Rande has helped hundreds of clubs start and maintain successful PACE programs; he knows what it takes to be successful and the pitfalls to avoid.

Also included in every PACE Program is a complete Marketing/Training manual with forms, contracts, waivers, sales training, club management software, newsletters, press releases, ad slicks, music CD's, Cue CD's, body fat analyzer, nutrition software, nutrition books, T-shirts, banner, etc.; everything you need to make your program a success!
