About

Dynamic, effervescent, compassionate and versatile creative are only a few adjectives that can be used to describe a personality like MJ.

Born Micheal Charl Julius but known to his following as MJ Fitness South Africa, this young man has entered the fitness world with not only an unmissable passion for Zumba/Dance Fitness, but a cause to revolutionise the world of Zumba/Dance Fitness by adding his uniquely African flair and becoming the very best certified Zumba/Dance Fitness personality in South Africa and Africa.

The need to fulfil his lifelong dream of becoming a sort after entertainment and dance fitness personality propelled him to relocate to Johannesburg. MJ then joined Planet Fitness as a licensed Zumba/Dance Fitness Instructor and is now one of the most popular trainers at several Planet Fitness gyms across Gauteng & several parts of South Africa. He has also managed to secure several freelance corporate gigs such as Pick n Pay Stokvel Indaba, Hollard Insurance team building, Sandton Regenesys Business school fitness team building and has hosted the Zumba/Dance Fitness session at the Arnold Classic South Africa in 2017 and 2018 to name a few. He has been the go-to Wellness Trainer for the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge since 2017. MJ has expanded his reach and works as a Choreographer, Model, MC and seasonal actor as well. His most notable MC gig has been for the gender fluid event: Flower power bottom in 2018.

MJ is extremely passionate about Social Investment and has made it a priority to participate and organise charity drives that will alleviate difficult circumstances for those in need, such as the Upington Dance ‘A’Thon in 2018 in aid of Jam South Africa (www.jamsa.co.za).

Micheal is not only a multi-talented Entertainer but also an avid entrepreneur with his very own fitness merchandise brand which includes a home work out DVD, branded t-shirts, tights, headbands, water bottles and bags. This young man is truly the future of fitness & entertainment.
