Meet our Active & Healthy Ambassador - Collin Hart
Collin Hart is a local ambassador for the Active & Healthy program. He’s at Southport pool nearly every day of the week and has lost 35kg in 18 months by getting out and getting active!
Starting with the MAD (Mature and Determined) class at Southport Pool, Colin lobbied the local representative, Cr Dawn Crichlow to put on more classes and she agreed.
Now, there’s a $2 class on four days a week at the Southport Pool. Classes include deep water running, aqua fit and the original MAD (mature and determined) class.
Collin said he is thrilled that there are more classes and he encourages more people to get down to the pool and get active.
“Just ask for me, they call me Big Bad Col, but I’m really not that bad, I want to help people get fit and healthy so I’ll make sure you feel welcome" he said.
