Hello/Hola,
I'm Amina Hetu and I'm so honored to be the 212 Health & Performance December spotlight member!! H.I.I.T it!
I am a busy wife, mother, and a working professional in healthcare at Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Like most women, I must balance my work and family life daily. I am very grateful to all the 212 coaches who've helped me to be able to keep active at the gym and remind me to take care of myself.
I first started with kettlebells in 2011 and have been with the 212 family ever since! This gym has just the right amount of motivation, encouragement, and accountability- no matter which class you attend from Nuts and Bolts to Get Swole or HIIT to boxing! I love this community because not only am I able to build great friendships I am also building great strength and stamina!
There's so much I love about 212 Health & Performance. It is conveniently located just a few minutes from my house. I really love that Kerry the founder/owner is so in tune with all of his members and that the other coaches have been committed to 212 and have been here for many years. This really makes such a difference in fostering a family environment and exceptional service.
Everyone is friendly here. The coaches know each member and take a sincere interest in them. Heather, the operations manager, takes my calls, emails, and concerns while providing quick responses. I appreciate how the coaches always check-in if I miss a workout, or just to see how I am doing. It means a lot when things get overwhelming, and I get busy. Oftentimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day yet they make sure I find time for myself with their encouragement.
I trust them even with my own family. The struggle was real during COVID when my youngest daughter, like many children, was going through a hard time and really needed an outlet. I reached out to my 212 family for help, and they were immediately there for us. They helped her on her fitness journey by looking out for her and encouraging her. She has finally gained the confidence she was seeking, a better mindset, and new fitness habits for life.
This is so important for me because working out is a lifelong commitment, especially working in healthcare. My home and work life can be demanding but 212 helps me to decompress and stay mentally sharp. Being a member at 212 is one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am proud to call this gym home and its members' family! Thank you/Gracias 212!
