From One Rack
to a Community.
The first version of Le Gorzormor Fitness was a single room off Avenue Charles de Gaulle with one power rack, a set of bumper plates, and a chalk bucket. It was 2019. Coach Emile had just come back from training abroad and couldn't find a gym in Yaoundé that took strength training seriously. So he built one.
The first members were friends. Then friends of friends. Then people who'd heard about the small gym in Bastos where they actually taught you how to squat. Word spread the way it always does in Cameroon — through people who care enough to tell you.
Today we're 800+ members across two locations. We have 12 certified coaches, a full class schedule, and equipment that rivals anything in West Africa. But the room still feels like a room. The coaches still know your name. And nobody trains alone.
We build members."
