With so many dining options (reminiscing about you, Franco’s beef tenderloin!) available at Kuredu and the resort’s plentiful relaxation venue, it is not impossible that your fitness takes a back seat. The good news, however, is that the island’s gym is so well equipped – not to forget that it offers amazing views – that you will be pleased to squeeze in a few hours of workout into your schedule to remain fit and fabulous while in the Maldives. The person who knows the ins and outs of the gym is Heshan, whom we’re crowning this month’s Kuredu Celebrity.

Heshan Rangana, originally from Sri Lanka, joined Kuredu in 2012 and is as sporty as it gets – even in his spare time, when he’s not looking after the gym, tennis, badminton and rental bikes, you can find him at the gym, tennis or badminton courts, riding a bike, playing cricket, volleyball, table tennis, or doing one of the many water sports available at the resort.

Whether you wish to continue your workout routine or start a new one, Heshan is the person to talk to about all things related to stretching, circuit and weight training, and for those of you who wish to take on something even more intense (and highly rewarding!), Heshan runs boot camps every Sunday.

You can also grab a protein bar or a protein smoothie from the gym’s health corner to boost your energy, and football fans shouldn’t miss the Kuredu FC jerseys that make a great souvenir and will remind you of your time at the resort.

Visit Heshan and the gym the next time you’re at Kuredu and arrange to play a game of tennis to learn from the best.
