USP: Hoop Aerial
Faith is an Aerial Hoop Instructor at MUV KDA, Karachi, and a member and performer with Wahab Shah Dance Company. She also teaches Classical Ballet to young children and loves sharing her passion with the next generation of dancers. She is a qualified Aerial Fitness Instructor, Performing Artist, and Dance Teacher. Her technical dance training includes: Classical Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary, and Latin Dance Styles, developing form, poise, posture and flexibility for beginners through advanced students.
Faith has brought Aerial Hoop to Karachi. Aerial Hoop, also known as Lyra, is a beautiful art form and a fun way to keep fit! It is a full body workout that improves flexibility, overall strength, coordination, body awareness, balance and grace.
Looking for a way to express her emotions, while at the same time building strength, Faith began learning Aerial Hoop in May, 2013. She qualified as an instructor in March 2015 and opened her own aerial fitness gym in the Philippines in 2017. She has now moved to Pakistan to share this amazing gymnastic art locally.
Faith says, “Aerial Hoop allows me to achieve what I never thought I could possibly do. It’s an exhilarating experience, giving me a powerful sense of achievement, and I would like to share the same sense of empowerment with others. Lyra gives expression to my emotions in a creative and beautiful way. With each class, you will feel stronger, more confident, and amazed at what your body is capable of. It’s easy to get started, and once you’ve mastered one move, you’ll be eager to learn the next one!”

USP: Calisthenics
Gul is another phenomenal trainer at Muv Base, introducing Calisthenics to Karachi with a bang and by far has been the most popular class among men & women alike since it got rolling! We personally know people who has achieved immense levels of strength and developed some serious musculature in as little as three weeks of training under Gul and keep getting rave compliments for their physique on and off. No kidding!

Calisthenics happened to Gul six years ago when he could only manage five pushups in one go himself, leave alone pullups. People told him back then how it’s a lost cause – “training with your bodyweight won’t get you anywhere” but he didn’t waste time in being bogged down by all that negativity around him and stuck to his own, well knowing Calisthenics practiced with consistency will reap him noteworthy benefits. Calisthenics is essentially using bodyweight exercises; pull-ups, push-ups, squat etc. to build an incredible looking body while also gaining a tremendous amount of strength.
“As a kid I was often made fun off by my classmates for how slow and weak I was. By the time I hit my teens, I became conscious about how I looked with my shirt off, as they say ‘look good naked’ is the real test! However, with all the mixed information around, I was confused about how to get myself in shape. Discovering this incredibly rewarding and fun form of exercising my whole body in integration changed it for good. Calisthenics guy for life!” shared Gul.

Tooba is a young girl who met the fitness trainer within as she embarked on the journey of losing 23 kilos in a span of 6 months and gaining strength herself over the course of last five years. She took to the method of cross-fit along with high intensity interval training to shred unwanted fat comparatively faster.
Tooba started her career with the pioneers of fitness bootcamp – The 42 Day Challenge ad since then has created many success stories of people benefiting bigtime from her training method. She completed various fitness-centric internships & seminars with Mr. James Largey from FLF Performance center, UK. That enabled Tooba to really grasp prospective clientele’s psychological perspective when it comes to their fitness and nutritional routines. She also earned a certification from Precision Nutrition Online.
Tooba then thought of offering all her knowledge and wisdom via one authentic platform and that’s how her newly opened fitness studio – Escale came into being to bring about noticeable positive changes in the lifestyle, health and fitness levels of her clientele. Escale has come up with a range of group classes and personal training choices.
