After one assessment with Hussein, I knew that I was making the right decision in choosing to train with him. Hussein has given me the tools that I need to successfully master the gym both physically and mentally. Although I am an all around confident young woman, when it came to working out in the gym I have always felt self-conscious. By teaching me the proper movements and body forms, Hussein has given me that extra bit of confidence that I need while working out. Not only is he a dedicated trainer, but Hussein is such a respectful and accommodating individual. When I told Hussein that I used to suffer from extreme body image issues, he kept reminding me that I should only work out for me. Never once did I hear him tell me to “lift like a man” but rather, he told me that he would help me become an even stronger woman. Given that I am a student living alone in Ottawa, Hussein has accommodated my busy schedule by keeping up with me through emails whenever I was unable to meet with him, but required his support. HSL fitness is not just about setting goals for yourself, it’s about creating a lifestyle. I am eternally thankful for all that Hussein has taught me and for all that he has helped me accomplish. I can honestly say that I have never felt stronger, both mentally and physically. I look forward to continuing my journey!
