An appreciative parent took to ‘Whitsundays Noticeboard’ over the weekend to write an anonymous post about a local fitness group who they credit with transforming their child’s life.
And, despite being an anonymous post, a flood of support has been received since.
“Huge shout out and recommendation for Whitsunday Martial Arts,” the post starts.
“New to the area and my teenage son sadly found himself the victim of a group beating for a pair of shoes. I approached the club after the attack.
“The owners, Dan and Anton, were amazing.
“I cannot recommend them highly enough.
“They have gone above and beyond to help.”
Anton Zafir, one of the two owners shared that the club welcomes anyone.
“We are about getting to know everyone in the club, we’re not a platform to cripple or give excuses to quit,” Anton said.
“We have all sorts of people come into the club, and it’s great for the kids to see some of the big guys and see what they can achieve themselves.
“That everything is possible, with hard work, dedication, and drive.”
The Club has a youth session every single day, five days a week, in the disciplines of MMA, Jiu Jitsu and Boxing.
“The classes have drastically improved my son’s fitness, confidence, and discipline,” the post said.
“If you are considering giving boxing a go, WMA is the place!”
The club also have a personal trainer, a 17-year-old who made the move to Airlie Beach to facilitate youth personal training, building confidence with someone who understands what it’s like to be going through the teenage years.
