Yousef Al-Qanai — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 10:44:20 +0000

The Fitness Camp (TFC). A program organized by Aymstrong has launched its first season successfully on December 17th/2011 with 22 participants. The project is very unique and is considered a revolution in the fitness industry in Kuwait. Due to the atmosphere in the sessions and its uniquely designed training sessions such as; TFC Army Session, TFC Beach Session, TFC Cardio Session, and more.

Yousef Al Qanai | Founder of Aymstrong & TFC stated:

“We created The Fitness Camp because most fitness programs are boring and going to gym has become very unlikely to give you results. You need a fitness trainer with you, and a gym that is close by, and then you need to find the time to do all of this together. But in TFC; everything is planned and ready for you to come and benefit from the workouts”.

Yousef Al-Qanai — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:11:44 +0000

Luminox Watches by Yacob Behbehani Sons Co. sponsors the 200K RunKuwait Journey and becomes a Silver sponsor for the event. The 5 Runners of the event will each be wearing a Luminox watch during the run.

Yousef Al Qanai, CEO of Aymstrong says: “I am very proud to wear Luminox during my running journeys and to make it the official watch to help me face the challenges brought forth during ultra marathons which I will be participating in during 2011/2012.”

About Luminox:

Luminox is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1989 produced by the Mondaine Watch Ltd. Group in Biberist. Like many other American success stories, Luminox came from a forward-thinking individual realizing a need in the market and meeting it. Barry Cohen, a watch industry veteran, came across a Swiss self-powered illumination system and knew that it would make watches more visible and easier to read in low or no light situations. He asked his friend Richard Timbo if he would like to join him. Luminox was born in 1989 (Lumi is Latin for light while Nox is Latin for night), driven by a commitment to offer cutting-edge luminescence and readability in its line of high-performance sports watches.

Happy Birthday to Mark Gillett. A leader, entrepreneur, risk taker, adventurer, and a lot more.

Yousef Al-Qanai — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:37:41 +0000

Mark Gillett is Aymstrong’s International Representative and Eye For Life Instructor & leader. To know more about him, visit his page [here]

I have known Mark for a while now and it is very hard to say few words about him, i would need to write a book at least.

About two years ago when I established Aymstrong, I met Mark and planned to do some projects with him in Kuwait, and i remember i got a little scared to take an international step in Aymstrong. And he told me not to worry and to push my boundaries an extra mile.

Pushing the boundaries is an important thing i learned from him, it helped me stay hungry for more and not to stop at the first right answer. We tend to get comfortable easily and seek the feel of security. It is our nature to do so and it is not wrong to seek comfort. But, to become an entrepreneur you need to push your limits and i can say that Mark is one of the people who have taught me the practical way of entrepreneurship and risk-taking.
