For me, Happy Cactus has always been a safe place. A place to work out, make friends, build confidence and talk about my emotions. It's amazing to know that the coaches are always open to what I have to say, especially on a tough day . . . .

I faced Nepal and it was the best experience of my life. Happy Cactus has also helped me accept myself and my body. My new favourite feeling is walking out of the gym sweaty and tired but feeling happy. Joining Happy Cactus has helped me gain many friends and experience great things like deadlifting my highest weight of 57.5kg. Joining Happy Cactus was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
