Revealing... My ultimate ambition is to be a Tai Chi master

Caroline Tee is the owner of the newly opened Horizon Health, a health centre offering ‘everything under one roof’. 

Horizon has a fitness facility, and Bermuda’s first organic café. Caroline focuses on functional training.

She said: “It means we teach you movement to reach weight loss or muscle gain using no machines. Instead we use free weights, weighted bars, balls, kettle bells and lots of other non conventional tools. The reason for this shift in the health industry world wide is because all the conventional machines actually ruin your skeleton over time. Horizon Health is leading the way to proper scientific training and movement which sports professionals in the US are now using as the way to train such as NFL, professional golfers, surfers, skateboarders, soccer players, tennis players in fact all sports.”

Ms Tee offers a variety of classes including Barre Fussion, Pilates, Yoga, Kettle bell, Tabata and HIIT classes. For more information, visit www.horizonhealthbermuda.com.
