Massmart’s Trojan Pro Series Wins Men’s Health Award
As more South Africans opt to train at home, the demand for higher-quality home gym equipment has increased.
The Massmart-owned Trojan Health brand has built a reputation as Africa’s leading home fitness brand over the past 42 years and in 2022, it launched the Trojan Pro Series to offer a premium option to customers looking to take their fitness to the next level.
The Trojan Pro Series consists of high-specification, semi-commercial fitness equipment including treadmills, stationary bikes and multi-functional home gyms.
Its unique positioning in the market has been recognised in the recent 2024 Men’s Health Fitness Awards, where the Pro Series treadmill was voted as the winner of its category by the Men’s Health team.
In reviewing the product, Men’s Health commended the Trojan Pro Series treadmill’s ‘robust continuous motor, cushioned impact zones that minimize stress on joints, and the 15.6” display that shares important training data - like distance, time and heart rate.’
Commenting on the accolade, Garreth Prout, Senior Sports Buyer at Massmart says, “In building the Pro Series range we were very intentional about adding features that would enhance the treadmill’s performance, and improve the user’s experience while training. Examples of these features included a more powerful motor and improved digital functionality to enable interactive workouts and we are thrilled that this has been recognised by a leading and trusted voice in the fitness industry.”
Prout also highlighted Massmart’s continued focus on private brand and the flexibility that owning these brands gives the retailer. “As a strategic growth vector at Massmart, our private brands enable us to be very specific in addressing identified market opportunities. In this respect Trojan Pro Series meets customer demand for affordable specified home gym equipment which, as an added bonus, is also finding its way into boutique gyms” he concluded.
The Trojan Series Pro treadmill is available exclusively at Makro stores and is currently retailing at R29,999.
