Testimonials I've been going to Hadj's class for 10 years. I love it!  With Hadj's expertise and his passion for teaching, it's structured in such a way that you never do the same workout twice.  I always end up challenging myself to do better than the previous class.  Commiting to the class is not only easy but it's fun. -- Heather Watson         Grind Athletix has given me agility, flexibility and endurance... which in turn allows me to play harder in the outdoors with increased safety and frequency.  Hadj provides expertise, a contagious passion for fitness, a fun social environment and fantastic scenery.  Having been at it for over 10 years, it keeps getting better.  The family-like atmosphere keeps growing.   -- Bart Porebski I've been active and fit my whole life -- ran 10k's, played numerous sports, gone to the gym consistently, etc.  But I never saw great results.  Hadj's Grind class took me to another level. There is no possible way I can push myself alone the way I'm pushed at this class.  That's what makes the difference for me.  It's getting to the point where I want to quit, where I'm sucking air, where my legs are jello.... that Hadj encourages me to keep going.  It's staying at that intensity level and pushing through the 40th, 50th and 60th minute that I believe has given me exceptional results.  I am leaner, stronger, faster. Hadj mixes it up so that our brains and our muscles never know what to expect.  I especially like it that he works out with us, rather than just telling us what to do.  We're all in it together.  -- Kelsey Winkler      After 10 years of doing Hadj's Grind Athletix, I have seen participants from all walks of life.  Professional athletes looking to take their game to the next level; Recreational athletes looking for that extra step on their opponents; People looking to get into better shape or for a change of lifestyle or just looking to get toned for the summer.  No matter what the reason for their attendance, they have all gotten amazing results.   -- Jamie Fraser    I have been doing Hadj's class for 6 years.  It is the most consistent I have been with any program.  His classes are challenging yet fun and never the same!  It's a great place to be, no matter what level of conditioning you are in -- he will take you to the next! -- Jennifer Jankowski     Hadj structures his classes in such a way that we find ourselves matched up with people of the same ability and fitness level.  We end up challenging and pushing one another.  This is ideal for getting positive results. While having been a member for over 10 years, the last 2 have been ones in which I've attended consistently and I have been amazed at the reduction in body fat as well as increased speed and agility. It's a great place to be.  Members are encouraging and there is a family-like atmosphere.       -- Kevin McGloin   Hadj's Grind reminds me of the workouts I used to do with my provincial soccer team.  It is not like other workout "classes".  It's full of athletic people who want to stay in GREAT shape -- and we all come because even though we are getting our butts kicked, deep down, we love it.  Plus, he doesn't play cheesy aerobic-class music! -- Cristi Zuk      I've been taking Hadj's class for over 10 years and have seen dramatic improvements in my fitness, strength and health.  The exercises we do in class will hone any athlete's speed, agility and power.  You can't get the same type of performance gains lifting weights in a gym.  The class atmosphere is exciting and supportive.  This is the ideal training regiment for the weekend warrior or serious athelete. -- Alex Guy Hadj has inspired me to push my limits beyond anything I could have accomplished alone.  Every class presents a new challenge and the fun and exciting atmosphere always keeps me motivated.  His classes are fast-paced, challenging and fun... the best combination for a great workout! -- Tiffany Pulice         Forget the whole concept of bootcamp!  I consider myself fortunate because I stumbled into Hadj's class when training at a gym in Kitsilano.  Hadj was actually covering a class for one of the instructors who I later found out used to be one of his students!  It only took two classes for me to get hooked on Hadj's teaching style and I can honestly say that I'm addicted to the feeling I get after each and every class.  After years of training on my own and wasting time at gyms I can honestly say that I am now in the best shape of my life.   -- Darren Patrick
