💟 Linda Maria Heng Stroud 💟

Linda joined as a member at Benton Hall in 2006. She soon became a regular face in the group exercise classes and developed many friendships. Her love for the Les Mills classes coupled with a gentle push from instructors encouraged her to complete an Exercise to Music qualification and subsequently certify as an instructor in her favourite programmes, Les Mills Core and Body Combat. Linda’s passion for these programmes shone through in her classes. She invested hours into practising and polishing her instructing. She welcomed every new face with open arms and the kindest of smiles, and spent endless time offering advice and encouragement. Linda loved being a part of the instructor team and being involved in the Les Mills launch events. Benton Hall was her second home and her presence is truly missed. This event is for her. Celebrating everything Linda loved. Forever in our hearts 💕
