Owner & Founder of Team Castellan
Mick Castellan has dedicated his life to fitness and boxing. A former professional middleweight boxer, he transformed his passion into a movement when he introduced boxing led fitness classes to South Africa in 1998 — blending traditional boxing techniques with high-intensity training in a dynamic class format. His innovative approach was soon featured in publications such as Car Magazine, Elle, and others, cementing his role as a pioneer in the fitness industry.
Mick’s journey began at the age of 12, when he first laced up his gloves. By 19, he had turned professional and quickly earned recognition, training at the acclaimed Yeoville Boxing Gym, where he sparred with some of South Africa’s finest. In 1986, he ranked among the Top 10 South African Middleweights, before traveling to the USA in 1993 to refine his craft at the legendary Petronelli Gym.
In 1998, Mick opened his first gym, Norwood Boxing & Fitness Training, where he trained professional athletes, sportsmen, and everyday clients. Under his guidance, four South African fighters went on to compete at title level. In 2010, he founded Team Castellan, a boutique health and fitness facility that continues to embody his lifelong passion for training, innovation, and helping people reach their full potential.
Today, Mick continues to lead from the front, personally training a select group of clients and teaching exclusive high-energy classes each week. With decades of experience, global exposure, and a pioneering spirit, his philosophy remains simple:
