Anélri Vermeulen (Practice Owner)
I was born in Bloemfontein, Free State, and matriculated in Rustenburg (2010). I did my BSc Human Movement Science degree at NWU and completed my BA Honours degree in Biokinetics at UFS, Kovsies in 2015. A year later, I finished my internship in Bloemfontein, UFS Kovsies, and started to work at a practice in Bloemfontein for 8 months. I moved to Centurion in October 2017 and started to work at the Du Toit Biokineticists (Centurion Virgin Active). I have been part of this practice for 8 years. I had the privilege to take over Du Toit Biokineticist practice, which is now named Anelri Vermeulen Biokineticist. Established December 2025. My passion is to help people (any age group). To educate them on how to train correctly, how to correct their posture during exercises and functional movements in active daily living (sitting, running, walking, etc.), or sports-specific. If you train correctly, you will also train the right muscles. I also enjoy working with any injuries. My special interests are athletes, marathon runners, golfers, swimmers, hockey players, and squash players. I am also very active. I often play golf on weekends, jog once or twice a week, and strengthen myself every week in the gym. I believe you need to practice what you preach.
DS Jansen van Vuuren
I was born in Frankfort, Free State, and then relocated to Upington, where I matriculated from Hoërskool Duineveld. I completed my Coaching Diploma and BSc Human Movement Science and Sport Coaching degree at the NWU. I then went to UKZN to do my Honours in Biokinetics. I completed my internship at the Sharks rugby team, which fuelled my love and understanding of sport and the curiosity of the human body. In 2024, I joined Du Toit Biokineticists (Centurion), where I learnt that “If you have a body, you are an athlete”. It is my passion to bring the best out of my clients and help them to be the best version of themselves. Whether it is through musculoskeletal injury, chronic conditions, getting back onto the field of play, or just being able to live their best life. Throughout my career, I have gained a lot of experience in different sporting codes such as rugby, soccer, swimming, hockey, and long and short distance running. I strive to provide my clients the best assistance I possibly can and believe in leading by example.
Theane Pieterse
I was born in Clocolan, Freestate and matriculated in Bloemfontein. I did my Honors degree in biokinetics at NWU Potchefstroom (2017). After that, I went to Nelspruit for a year to finish my internship. I worked in Kimberley for two years. I started at Du Toit Biokineticists (Centurion Virgin Active) in 2021. I enjoy what I do and find happiness in helping people improve and achieve more. I love to see the changes that come with the correct exercises and posture, the confidence people get when they feel the improvements in their physical ability as well as the benefits it holds for mental health. The human body has always fascinated me, so reading the newest studies on rehabilitation and how the body works doesn’t feel like work. I am a very comfortable person who is always the same. Sport has always been a big part of my life and is still something I love to participate in. Improving myself has always been a priority, and I’m excited for this new chapter in my life.
Leigh – Mari Niemand
I was born in Bloemfontein, Free State, and grew up in Pretoria. I completed my BA Honours in Biokinetics in Bloemfontein at UFS Kovsies (2015), as well as my internship in 2016. I have worked as the senior biokineticist at a practice for the last 8 years and have also traveled with the U21 Free State netball team, as well as assisted a Paralympic athlete towards the Commonwealth Games. My greatest reward is seeing patients rediscover their confidence — witnessing the joy when they achieve something they once thought impossible and regain their quality of life. I enjoy people of all ages and physical abilities, with a keen interest in amputee rehabilitation and elderly functional movement. I believe movement should be safe, enjoyable, and empowering for every person, regardless of age or ability. They can benefit from guided, mindful movement to improve strength, mobility, and overall wellness. I am very excited to have joined the team at Virgin Active Centurion.
