Howzit! I’m Thato Khumalo, and welcome to Fresh Ubuntu. I’m so glad that you decided to pop by my little corner of the internet.

I’m a personal trainer from Joburg with a degree in sports science. And my journey has taken me from the gym floor to the blogosphere. I guess you could say life had other plans for me!

As a kid, I would feel properly stressed out. So, naturally, I thought hitting the gym hard was the answer to everything. Shame, was I wrong! It took a wellness class to wake me up. It turns out — there’s more to being healthy than just having a chiselled physique.

My passion for travel naturally intertwined with my wellness journey. And let’s be honest, there’s no better way to sort out your head than exploring the beautiful world around us. I’m mad about hiking and swimming. If I’m off to exploring a new city, I make sure my trusty companion a.k.a. my yoga mat is always with me!

Here’s the thing I’ve figured out. Sweating it out in the gym has its perks but it is just as fulfilling to connect with everything around you.
