HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRAND AMBASSADOR!

Her story started around 4-5 years ago. “I would like to take PT sessions with you,” she told me. “When would you like to start,” I replied. Every time I put a challenge in her way, she conquered it. Every time I gave her a task, she defeated it. I remember her improving at every fitness test with a 10 point difference in each exercise. She is exceptional, mashallah. She is a great example of the quote “When you set your mind to something you can achieve it.”

Her goal was to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. One day she came up to me and said, “I just wanted to let you know that most of my family is influenced by a healthier lifestyle and I have you to thank for because you helped me reach my goals.” Today, even with a hectic job, she makes sure she makes time to workout.

A few years later, I opened Phoenix but Muneerah had other plans on a different continent. I felt sad that she was so far, but I knew I had made a lifetime friend. Once she made it back home, she joined Phoenix and became the best brand ambassador a brand can ask for. There was no choice in the matter. The brand chose her. She showed loyalty, integrity, generosity, simplicity and she had the most humble attitude about it. “Muneerah, will you be my brand ambassador?”I asked. “I would be honored,” she replied.

Today is her birthday and she wanted a birthday ride. It was one of those experiences you can’t explain. No fuss, no drama - just communities united. Beautiful ride for a beautiful soul.

Sadly, Muneerah will be leaving us again. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Muneerah. Know that you are a special spirit. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors and I am extremely proud of you. Keep your fire burning.

To the bravest human being I have ever known:

Happy Birthday and Happy Always
