Mover story: Houri, 20kg down
From Mark Glanville: “Houri!! Haha! Her answers will tell you everything. All I can say is the first time I saw her was a Tuesday morning around 5:20am. She was walking toward me as I was plotting the Kettlebell class, she looked at me with a little bit of uncertainty in her eyes and I asked her name and if she was here for the Kettlebell class, she said ‘yes’ and I replied with a subconscious ‘WHOAA! 😂’
Then I quickly recovered and promised I would stay close and guide her through the class and BOOM….. here we are today watching this amazing woman absolutely kill any challenge put in front of her and I am just so proud to be able to claim to be an influence in her progress and how far she has come.
Congrats Houri, you’re an absolute champion!”
From Houri:
“My favourite class? That’s a tough question, it’s so hard to choose!
I would have to say Kettlebell. This was the first class I ever did at MHQ having not exercised for months and months and I had no idea what I was in for. It was such a challenging class which needed a much higher level of fitness and technique than I had at the time, but Mark and the whole class were so supportive and encouraging and got me through it! I now look forward to this class each week and love seeing the progression I have made each time.
Kettlebell classes at MHQ are cardio without feeling like cardio which is exactly what I need in my life!
I chose MHQ because I saw the Body Composition Program advertised and thought it looked like a really balanced approach to getting fit and healthy again.I also loved the variety of classes available such as functional mobility, strength, pilates, yin yoga and more.
I have been a member of various ‘big’ gym chains for years and I found I basically donated money to them each month without stepping foot inside the gym. This gym is completely different, I look forward to getting up at 4:45am each morning to prepare for a 5:30am class. Something I never thought I’d ever do!
Everyone is so supportive, friendly and encouraging and the classes are so well designed. It has completely changed my lifestyle for the better.
SINCE STARTING IN JUNE THIS YEAR, I’VE LOST OVER 17 KILOS (AND COUNTING) WHICH IS SOMETHING I’M REALLY PROUD OF BUT ISN’T MY BEST ACHIEVEMENT.
MY BEST ACHIEVEMENT IS THE HEALTHY MINDSET AND APPROACH I NOW HAVE TOWARDS EXERCISE AND NUTRITION. I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO HAVE EXERCISE PART OF MY ROUTINE OR LIFE AND I THINK MHQ HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED THIS FOR ME.
I look forward to coming to each session (maybe other than conditioning) and I’m hopeful this will continue for a lifetime!”
