“No Place Like Home”: Fitness Entrepreneur Announces Move Back to SA, Mzansi Welcomes Him

• Fitness entrepreneur Jenz Robinson announced he is leaving the UK to return to South Africa with his family
• Robinson founded the Gym Owners Network abroad and now plans to raise standards in the local fitness industry
• Viewers were happy to hear the news and welcomed him home, saying nothing beats South Africa

Jenz Robinson, the founder of the Gym Owners Network, announced on 12 July 2026 that he is packing up his life in the United Kingdom and heading home to Cape Town after nearly two decades of living abroad. Jenz framed the decision not as a retreat but as a homecoming. "Africa is calling me home," he described his return as the ultimate hero's journey of going back a stronger, changed man.

There's no place like home

The man, Instagram user @jenz.robinson, expressed deep gratitude to everyone who supported him during his time in the UK before setting his sights firmly on what comes next. He also made clear he has no intention of arriving quietly. He put the South African fitness industry on notice, saying they should "be ready" as he plans to professionalise the game and raise standards across the board.
