HUF, (Heron Ultimate Fitness)

was established in July 1996.  On the south east corner of Hurontario and Queensway in Mississauga Ontario Canada; sat a dome shaped building.  What was once a broken down abandoned swimming pool for the apartments was now a multi-level Boxing, Kick Boxing and Fitness club. HUF was not always a family run business, and boxing was not in mainstream fitness clubs nor accepted as the best way to increase your physical conditioning.

 It was viewed by many on PPV and Mike Tyson was the reigning Heavy weight champion.  With a full scale state of the art workout floor, the bottom two levels focused on combat.  Andrew slowly encouraged members to come and try a boxing workout...It was during these years Teresa then a Mormile, walked into the club.  Over weight at 177lbs and about 5' tall she began the program...Losing over 50lbs she gained the courage to compete in her fitness competition; now a national level and OPA athlete.  Her sister, Olga, a semi-professional dancer, was diagnosed with tendinitis in her knees.  Teresa recommended she come to the club to do rehabilitation with Andrew.  After being recommended to go under the knife and have surgery; she was able to strengthen the knee joint through the training programme Andrew designed.  After three months of rehabilitation in the gym; she began running and participating in the boxing and Kick-Boxing classes and her dance career came to an end.  Studying under the tutelage of Mr. Heron, she is now a level 3 certified Boxing Ontario and NCCP coach as well as a level 3 certified official.
