The One More Original
Meet the Counter Scrum
It isn't a weight machine. It's a technique machine. Shift your force to your back, your quads, or the wrong side, and it goes nowhere — the harder you fight it with bad form, the less it moves. Get your technique right, drive from the glutes, and it starts to work with you. Coaches use it to see, in real time, who has what it takes to play prop.
Built years before it started making headlines, the Counter Scrum is now standard equipment in high-performance rugby gyms across South Africa — and there's still only one place to get one.
Built for how you train
From full training facilities to home gyms, everything is designed and manufactured in-house.
High-performance equipment
Sport-specific strength and conditioning equipment, designed around angles, nervous system response and muscle firing patterns. NOT off-the-shelf gym gear.
Facilities & schools
We help you design the flow of your gym, so a coach with 45 minutes and 90 athletes can get a full team through a session without a bottleneck.
Home gym
Serious equipment scaled for home and boutique studio setups — no compromise on build quality.
Custom builds & rehab
In-house draftsmen, engineers and a resident doctor can design or modify equipment to spec — including specialist gear for biokinetics and physio rehabilitation.
Our story
From the workshop floor to the rugby gym.
Werner Dreyer didn't come from sports science. He trained as a mechanic alongside his father — welding, grinding, building whatever needed building — and raced off-road bikes on the side. What he couldn't find anywhere in South Africa was gym equipment built the way it was overseas: for a specific sport, a specific athlete, a specific movement. So he started building his own.
A chance meeting with Jacus Coetzee, who was already training South African athletes the way the pros trained overseas, turned a workshop project into a business. One of the first machines to come out of it — the Counter Scrum — is now standard equipment in rugby gyms across the country.
"There's always one more chance. Every day is a chance to make your next workout the best one you can. Then you keep building on top of that.”
Werner Dreyer, Founder
Not welded together. Engineered.
Designed by engineers, not guesswork
In-house draftsmen, engineers and a resident doctor calculate every angle before we cut a single piece of steel — because the wrong angle trains the wrong muscle.
Built to survive elite force
Imported equipment is often built from 0.8–1.2mm steel for a slim margin. Ours is heavier gauge, down to the bushings, made in-house — because explosive athletes break equipment that isn't.
Checked by the owner, daily
Werner is on the factory floor every day, checking deliveries himself. Almost nothing leaves the workshop without him having looked at it.
Built to grow with you
New attachments are designed to bolt onto equipment you already own, so an upgrade doesn't mean starting over.

Why generic gym equipment doesn't work for athletes
Commercial gym machines are built for general fitness, not sport. Here's what athletes actually need from their equipment, and why it matters.

That's the real brief for most school and university strength and conditioning coaches — and it's what we design facilities around. We sit down with your coaching staff, work out the ratio of sports you're training for, and lay out a gym with enough stations and the right flow to get a full team through without a bottleneck.
Flexible payment options are available on high-performance centre builds, so you get the full setup from day one instead of building it out over three years.
