Over the last 35 years I have joined numerous gyms in Canada as well as other countries (IE USA, Mexico) and without a doubt HERSS is second to none. The proprietor, Remon Hanoun has created the optimum ambiance for working out. He sets high standards for his staff who must be very experienced and knowledgeable. The equipment is top of the line - by far the best I have ever used. I am having my hip replaced in the spring of 2008 and Remon has designed a special program for me to strengthen the muscles around my hip to ensure I have a speedy post operation recovery. With out a doubt HERSS is a first class facility.

Testimonial
I am writing this while on our second week of maintenance that follows the initial 14 day program. My husband and I along with another couple decided to try out the Inovacure program. My husband is 5'8" and started at 260 pounds. He dropped 20 pounds the first week, and another
8 pounds the second week for a total of 28 pounds! Having to tighten his belt a couple notches and seeing his clothes fit better along with having more energy was the motivation he needed to stick to the 14 day program. Believe me, giving up the pasta, wine, beer, Big Macs, and those double-double coffees was no easy thing, but this program made it happen.
I'm 5'4" and started at 131 pounds. I had already lost 22 pounds after having my third child but was having trouble getting past this plateau.
With Inovacure I lost 5 pounds the first week, and 3 pounds the second, for a total of 8 pounds. To go from buying a size 9 jean to fitting into a 5 is surreal. It's not just the weight, but the inches that makes the difference.
This program is so structured so you know exactly what to eat and when, and what vitamin supplements to take. It also includes the protein pouches in the forms of chocolate pudding, chicken noodle soup, fruit punch, hot cocoa, oatmeal and also protein bars. This ensures your muscles are being fed so the weight you lose is strictly fat. Add fresh vegetables, lean proteins and low-fat cheese where stated and you have a completely balanced menu plan that curbs your cravings.
You are under the watchful eye of Elizabeth, registered nutritionist, who meets with you for the initial consultation and takes your weight and measurements, does a follow-up the first week, and then takes your weight and measurements at the end of the 14 days. She'll meet with us again after the two week maintenance program is complete. The maintenance program is where you reintroduce carbs, fruits and other foods back into your diet, again following the guidelines included.
Overall we are very satisfied with the results and thank Remon for making the Inovacure program available through Herss in Aurora. This has jump-started us into good eating habits that will hopefully last a lifetime and continue along the road to weight loss and good health.
It's also encouraged some of our friends and family to start the same program!
Thanks again,

Hi Remon,
I thought I should send you some feedback since I have been a gym member for about 9 months now. I am really enjoying coming to Herss. I've had memberships to gyms that I barely used within a month. Your facility is so welcoming and nice. It has that personal touch that makes it an enjoyable experience.
Since I have started working with Jayden, I am really seeing the results I was looking for when I joined. He is so much fun to work with. He makes me work harder than I have ever trained before but I still look forward to every time I meet with him. The classes that he is doing that are new to the class schedule have been excellent. I love the spin class and I am starting to attend the GI Jayden classes. More of those would be excellent.
Plus, the supplements have been so helpful. They were well worth the money!
I really think I could benefit from an additional class to work on abs. I'm still weak in the core and am focused on building strength there.
Thanks for providing such a great place to exercise.

Hi Remon,
It's almost time for me to leave; I couldn't leave without telling you what a fabulous time I had at HERSS.
As my husband keeps telling me, joining the gym and having a personal trainer was the smartest thing I did lately and the money used for that was the best investment I ever made. And I actually agree with him, for once! J
The place you have is great and my trainer, Zoe, well, what can I say… she is absolutely terrific! As I was telling you, don't loose her. She is amazing, my sessions with her were fun, she kept me motivated, she put up with all my tantrums and complains and, boy, did she produce results: I dropped 2 dress sizes, the percentage of body fat went down from 25% to 19.2% and, to quote my boys, "Oh, my God, mommy has pipes!" I actually started to reshape my body and you keep telling me that I look 20 years younger! Well, I really hope I didn't look sixty the first time you saw me J! All this in 4 months.
But more than the way I look I'm really happy about the way I feel: I feel energized, no more back pains, I actually feel better than I felt in years, it helped me build up my confidence.
Keep up the butt blaster classes, they are literally a pain J but they are fun and effective.
Thank you so much for the wonderful time I had at HERSS and I hope you are still around when I come back to Canada because I will definitely look you up!
P.S. Please feel free to share the great experience I had with you guys and if somebody has doubts that I'm a real person they can write to me and I'll be more than happy to share with them some of the most painful exercises Zoe taught me! J
All the best,
Georgeta
