Mer-Hooys House of Hope in Yerevan, Armenia

  Global  FitKids  had  the  great  pleasure  of  conducting  their  first-ever  exercise  program  in  the  beautiful  city  of  Yerevan  located  in  Armenia.  We’re  grateful  that  Mer-Hooys  House of  Hope  welcomed  Global  FitKids  to  their  facility  and  gave  us  the  opportunity  to  share  our  passion  for  health  and  fitness.


  Mer-Hooys  is  a  non-profit  501 (c) (3)  organization  based  in  Yerevan,  Armenia.  Their  mission  is  to  provide opportunities  for  at-risk-girls  in  Armenia  so  they  may  achieve  a  productive  and  secure  future.  Their  program  is  dedicated  to  reaching  out  to  girls  from  severely  disadvantaged  families  and  teaching  them  valuable  skills  to  lead  productive  adult  lives.  


Please  visit  https://www.mer-hooys.org/   to  learn  more about   Mer-Hooys  and  their  wonderful  program.


  Our  first-ever  program  was  a  huge  success.  The program  was  very  enjoyable  for  all  the  kids  as  they  were  smiling  and  laughing  throughout  the  entire  program.  The  most  important  aspect  of  the  program  was  achieved by  having  fun  while  challenging  the  mind  and  the  body.


  Global  FitKids  was  honored  to  be  able  to  give  back  to  Armenia’s  youth  since  our  founder  and  director, Tigran  "Tig"  Grigoryan,  was  born  in  Armenia  himself.  It  was  very  heartening  for  Coach  Tig  to  be  able  to  make  a  positive  impact  on  the  lives  of  youth  from  his  native  country.  He  enjoyed  seeing  all  the  girls  smiling  and  laughing  throughout  the  entire  exercise  program.  Coach  Tig was  quite  moved  at  the  end  of  the  program,  when  the  girls  performed  a  traditional  Armenian  folk  dance.  The  traditional  group  dance  was  heart-warming  as  it  resembles  grace,  beauty,  courage  and  perseverance  of  the  Armenian  people.


  Global  FitKids  was  proud  to  volunteer  their  services  and  donate  plenty  of  goods  and  equipment  to  the  kids  at  Mer-Hooys.  We  provided  all  kids  and  staff  with  our  comfortable  Global  FitKids  shirts.  The  kids  loved  the  shirts  so  much  that  they  wore  them  during  their  next  field  trip.  We  provided  all  the  girls  with  brushes  donated  from  a  beauty  salon  in  La Habra,  California.  We  also   provided  the  girls  with  bottled  water  to  keep  them  hydrated    throughout  the  exercise program.  At  the  end  of  the  program  we  passed  out  bananas  and  apples  to  re-energize  and  refuel  the  body.


  Global  FitKids  donated  two  mini  soccer  goals  along  with  two  soccer  balls,  so  the  girls  can  begin  practicing  and  improving  their  soccer  skills.  We  also  donated  two  jump  ropes,  two  agility  ladders  and  several  exercise  cones  so  the  girls  can  start  practicing  with SAQ (Speed,  Agility,  Quickness)  drills.  The  Global  FitKids  curriculum  for  Ladder  Drills  and  Cone  Drills  will  be  provided  to  Mer-Hooys  so  the  girls  can  continue  to  enhance  their  skils.   The  tailored  curriculum  will  allow  the  girls  to  continue  to  train  and  challenge  their  minds  and  bodies,  all  while  having fun!

Cone Drills at Mer-Hooys in Yerevan, Armenia

  Cone  drills  enhance  speed,  agility  and  quickness  as   well as  boost  metabolism  and  coordination.  We  formed  two  separate teams  for  the  relay  race  which  made this  exercise  more  competitive. The  girls exemplified  teamwork  and  camaraderie  as they  cheered  for  their  teammates.  This  exercise  is  full  of   high-energy,  enhancing  social  skills  and  promoting  confidence.

One-foot Hop / Ladder Drills at Mer-Hooys

  Ladder  Drills  enhance  speed,  agility  and  quickness with  improved  footwork, cardiovascular  endurance  and  multi-planar movement.  This  was  the  first  time  the  girls participated  in  any  type  of  ladder  drills  and  their  performance  was  outstanding. Ladder  drills  challenge  the  mind  and  body  as  they  require  the  kids  to  really  concentrate  and  focus.

Coach Tig for the win IN A FUN GAME OF Dodgeball

  The  girls  at  Mer-Hooys  love  playing Dodgeball  as  it’s  their  favorite  game. Dodgeball  is  an  awesome  form  of  exercise that  enhances  agility  and  balance.  It  also improves  hand-eye  coordination,  develops fast  reflexes  and  builds  teamwork.
