The Story
Built From Experience, Not Theory
Roger knows what it means to start over. Before becoming a coach, he competed at the highest level in bodybuilding — 11 competitions, 8 first-place finishes, and a cover feature in Fitness Magazine South Africa.
But elite sport takes a toll. After years of competition, he experienced the burnout, the injuries, and the periods where getting back felt impossible. Those setbacks became the foundation for how he coaches today.
RDK Fitness exists because Roger understands something most trainers don't: the hardest part isn't the training itself. It's finding the right starting point when you've been away from it. It's building a program that respects your current reality instead of punishing you for where you're not.
Every client gets the same level of attention Roger brought to his own preparation. Structured programming. Honest feedback. A plan that adapts as you progress. No shortcuts, no hype — just steady, sustainable progress built on a solid foundation.

What We Stand For
These aren't marketing slogans. They're the principles behind every program we build.

Every exercise, every progression is chosen with your body's limits in mind. We build up, never break down.
