Meegan B. - PT
Six months ago, Hien told me that come September, I would be running the 12km City to Bay fun run. He was talking to a girl who had barely run before in her life and wasn’t even certain she could. I had clearly been working with Hien for around 4 months prior to that and had gone from unfit and flabby to fitter and significantly less flabby but running most certainly wasn’t in my vocabulary. As I become fitter, Hien’s workouts have become harder, extending me beyond what I thought my limits were and proving to both of us that when I say I can’t do it, I really can. I am now feeling fit and happy getting sick less often and well on the road to having the flat stomach I have always wanted. Oh yeah, and I can run. I can run 7.5km without stopping and though I remain slightly doubtful I have the mental strength to do 12km, I know that Hien will have me fit and ready to run on the day and I will cross that finish line because he believes I can.
