The much-loved hit fitness lifestyle show, 5 Colour Fitness, is back for an 8th season, and they’re pulling no punches.
A Heartthrob and an Olympian!
“There are two exciting celebrity additions to this season. The first is no stranger to health and fitness, and that is South African Olympian, javelin thrower Rocco van Rooyen, who represented South Africa in the 2015 World Championships and at the 2020 Summer Olympics,” said CEO and Executive Producer, Berne van Zyl.
“The other is all-round hotty, Lee Thompson – a businessman, fitness instructor and model best known for his appearance in The Bachelor South Africa in 2019.”
Thompson, with his ready-to-go six pack, said upon joining the team: I saw it as a great platform for me to use my health and fitness knowledge to coach, motivate and encourage people who are looking to make that positive change to their lives,” says Thompson.
And with these additions, it seems viewers will work up a sweat, one way or another.

A breathtaking backdrop 5 Colour Fitness prides itself in creating a complete experience for its viewers and takes the fitness experience far beyond a studio floor. Fans have loved the various beautiful locations the show broadcasts from and this African-inspired season is no different. Season 8: African Savannah was the Kapama Private Game Reserve in Limpopo, which hosts 40 different wildlife species, including the Big 5. And we’re not just talking about the 5 different exercise regimes here. But, in all honesty, the animals that can be seen at Kapama are just as wild as the show!
