The certified fitness trainer and nutritionist’s initiative is welcomed since all gyms have been closed to help tackle the spread of this disease and Henry explained that the COV-fit camp is cognisant of the social distancing guidelines and is taking the necessary measures to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
During an invited comment with Kaieteur Sport, Henry noted that, “Even though it is a group activity, we keep persons in a relatively far distance away from each other and that is possible because we have tons and tons of space at Durban Park. In addition, it is not a large group of persons I am working with. It’s a maximum of only 10 persons per session.”
Henry shared that the COV-fit camp started only three weeks ago and it runs Monday to Friday with two one-hour sessions which begins at 05:30hrs.
The former rugby champion who has won a total of eight titles playing with the Green Machine; Guyana’s senior men’s rugby team, reminisced that, “I was always passionate about health and fitness even before I got certified. If you check my track record, I have also competed in powerlifting, in addition to my known exploits on the rugby pitch.”
“It’s a venture I have been looking to get into a long time and I used this opportunity during the serious covid-19 pandemic to do my part in help keeping persons’ immune systems up through exercise.”
