I was awarded as Top GX Instructor “Fitness First Middle East” 2012.In 2013 I was promoted to GX Manager in Fitness First Beach Park Plaza and a key achievement of mine for this club was that I raised the utilization from 15% (underperforming) to a very successful 30%. Also reduced red line classes (attendance under 40% of studio capacity) from 84 to 16 per month. On January 1st 2014 I transferred to Fitness First Ibn Battuta and as GX Manager, I designed many successful time tables averaging 120 classes per week in 3 GX studios with the average of 13 000 GX member experiences per month.In my role I increased Utilization from 40 % to 53% (1200 more people per month attending GX classes).
