Hercules


also known as Heracles in Greek mythology – is known for his superhuman strength and humility. His life was not easy, as he was constantly plagued by the wrath of his step-mother, Hera, the wife of Zeus. Her spells caused Hercules to do some unimaginable things. He begged Apollo, the god of truth and healing, to give him 12 heroic tasks in an effort to make amends. In the end, Hercules was absolved of his guilt and rewarded with eternal life among the gods at Mount Olympus.

Fitness pursuits may even extend beyond the four walls of the main fitness center – into outdoor spaces, virtual offerings, and additional dedicated group exercise or mind-body rooms. Providing the right mix of equipment, an effective use of space, and knowing best practices for maintenance and upkeep can be a Herculean task.
