From the Summit of Struggle to the Peak of Purpose

Above the Clouds Group began not in a boardroom, but in a moment of personal reckoning.

In 2014, our founder Lunga Silandela found himself staring down the consequences of a lifestyle defined by excess and stagnation. Weighing 146kg, with a 50-inch waist and rising health concerns, he knew change was no longer optional — it was urgent. Over the next five years, Lunga lost 62kg, not through fads or shortcuts, but by transforming his relationship with food, movement, sleep, stress, and discipline. His journey wasn’t just physical — it was emotional, mental, and deeply human.
What began as one man’s personal transformation became the foundation of something much greater.

The Birth of Above the Clouds

In 2019, the first seeds were planted with the launch of Above the Clouds Fitness, focused on sustainable weight loss through real food, real movement, and real accountability. It quickly gained traction, resonating with people tired of empty promises and miracle products.
As more lives were transformed, a bigger vision emerged.

The Formation of Above the Clouds Group

By 2024, it became clear that transformation doesn’t stop at the body. It spills into careers, relationships, confidence, leadership, and legacy. This gave birth to the Above the Clouds Group — a collective of purpose-driven services that help people rise above limitations in all areas of life.
