Steve Mululu
Steve has been in the fitness industry for 10+ years. He is a certified National Federation of Personal Trainers (NFPT) personal trainer and currently runs a very successful Corporate Wellness program @ DBF in Sunninghill. In addition, Steve is also a professional body builder and his accomplishments include winning the South African Provincial Championships twice in a row.
Steve’s goal is to help as many people as possible to commit to a healthier—and happier—lifestyle. He does not like to say he is a fanatic on the subject, but he truly believes that exercising and eating healthily can change your life for the better. Steve wants people to know that making health-conscious choices can ultimately make them look and feel wonderful. All of us have the inner strength to make beneficial changes to improve our lives. Steve’s goal is to find a bigger platform from which to spread his message about a holistic, healthy lifestyle more widely.
His philosophy has always been ‘making the world fitter one by one’. Training and eating right are the only tools that you need in your fight against the ageing process.
Steve’s sheer inspiration to others, and his positive attitude results in him doing many workshops and public speaking engagements for corporate companies.
