Hadj Gill Hadj began boxing as an amateur at the age of 14. At 18 he turned professional, fighting all over North America.  As an amateur and pro he had a combined record of 33-1.   After boxing for 9 years, he retired and became a professional trainer.  This is where he learned to get the most out of an athlete. He worked as a cornerman in various world championship fights in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and New York... working with the likes of Angelo Dundee; legendary trainer for the great Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard.  In the 1990's Hadj taught boxing classes in gyms across the lower mainland.  Hadj soon began to incorporate plyometric workouts into his boxing classes to help develop fast twitch muscle for speed.  He then began to develop plyometric movements for lower body workouts to balance the upper body workouts in his boxing classes.  This lead to a brand new fitness class he began in the mid-90's, called GRIND.  The Grind soon became very popular for its intensity and remarkable results reported by athletes.  Hadj found himself in demand, teaching Grind Athletix classes at the top gyms. After 16 years of teaching these workouts Hadj has developed, through trial and error, a high arsenal of exercises to get quick results. Having been training himself since he was 14 and competing at a high level throughout, Hadj completely understands body and fitness.  He is an expert in the area of training for competition... in any sport.   He has a remarkable understanding of what the body can do and what it should not be forced to do. Hadj teaches with a method to get the most out of his students, understanding everyone's needs and desires.  The one thing he knows is that "the body doesn't lie and there's no such thing as magic when you want to shape your body.  When you put your workout gear on you have to be ready to sweat.  There is only one true method; hard work.  All I do is make that hard work as fun, challenging and creative as possible." It must be working if the same people keep coming back for over ten years.  Read the testimonials.
