When you walk through the doors of CIT Performance Institute, chances are the first person you’ll meet is Coach Claudia Botha — and you’ll quickly understand why her nickname is “Boss Lady.” As co-owner of the gym and head of our Strength & Conditioning programme, Claudia is the engine that keeps the gym running and the reason so many of our members feel at home from day one.
Claudia is the first point of contact for every new member. Whether someone is curious about trying a class, wants guidance on which programme to choose, or is ready to take their training to the next level, Claudia ensures that every person is seen, heard, and supported. Her passion lies in building people — not just physically through training, but mentally through confidence, accountability, and empowerment.
As a Strength & Conditioning coach, Claudia brings unmatched energy to every session. She has a natural ability to push people to their limits while making them feel capable, strong, and safe. She trains professional fighters, complete beginners, moms, students — everyone. Her sessions are never just workouts; they are transformative experiences designed to help you move better, feel better, and perform better.
Outside the gym, Claudia is a mom to a little girl named Emily, and it shows in everything she does — her leadership is equal parts strength and heart. She balances family and business with the same grit she teaches on the gym floor.
Strong. Kind. Direct. Supportive.
That’s the Boss Lady.
If you’re thinking about joining CIT, Claudia is who you call.
If you’re nervous, she’ll walk you through it.
If you’re ready to change your life, she’ll show you how.
At CIT Performance Institute, she doesn’t just run the show —
she sets the standard.
