Super Nova of the Month: Lesley Hendren

Celebrating Lesley: October's SuperNova!


Congratulations Lesley, you are our Super Nova of the Month!


Lesley joined Nova Health Club in November of 2022. Lesley started her training journey with a friend 1x/week - soon afterwards, she added an additional training session as she started to feel the difference that movement could make.


In less than a year's time, Lesley has made remarkable progress with her training and she is now reaping the benefits in her day to day life. She is someone who was not fond of the gym prior to Nova; now is excited for the mornings that she trains! 


When she first joined Nova she experienced pain in her shoulder, neck and upper back. Within 10 months, Lesley's hard work, dedication and commitment, improved all of these areas for a pain-free life. She is much more aware of her posture and is stronger than ever before!


Every session Lesley comes equipped with a positive and a bright attitude. It's been an absolute pleasure watching her grow stronger and gain confidence week to week. This is what it is all about - and this month we want to celebrate your success!


We had a chance to ask Lesley some questions about how training at Nova has impacted her life:



1)What motivated you to start your fitness journey with Nova Health Club?


“I knew I needed some strength training to protect my bones and keep me fit as I age.”



2)Can you share some key strategies or habits that helped you achieve your success? Any specific workouts, diets, or routines that made a significant difference?


"Working out with a friend in the beginning helped motivate me to work out until it became a habit. My two trainers at Nova were also instrumental in my desire to improve my overall fitness levels. Both were terrific in their encouragement, as well as their knowledge in providing the exercises I needed.”



3)In what ways have you noticed positive changes in areas outside of fitness such as in your mental well-being, energy levels, or overall confidence?


“I feel so much stronger in my body, which is what I need as I age, as well as improvement in my mental health due to my time spent at Nova.”
