About Hoorays!
“The creation of a business always has a story at heart!”
Anthony
I am Anthony Guinehut, co-founder of Hoorays!
Having spent my teenage life between the west and south of France, surrounded by nature and open spaces, I developed a sense of freedom at an early age. It was clear to me that I would travel the world to fulfill this feeling. Learning to cook from my mom and being exposed to the hospitality world at a young age, it was only natural for me to join a Hospitality Business School and get a degree in management.
While I loved the elegance and the culture of our hospitality industry, at 24 my wanderlust and dream of exploring the culinary world took over. With itchy feet and the need to experience new territories, I landed up in Orlando to work for the “Chef de France”. Thus, began my love story with America, and it's been so for 23 years.
I am privileged to have worked with some of the most prestigious chefs like Lea Linster, Daniel Boulud, Jean Yves Schillinger, Rainer Becker, Alain Allegretti, Alain Allaire across 25 countries.
Running hotels and restaurants made me realize that we should not only look at making people happy with fantastic designs and trendy ingredients, but also look at how we do things in parallel to preserve our planet. I want to play a role in encouraging people to be part of a community that cares about sustainability.
With Hoorays! I am starting a new chapter in my life and building this business with my best friend is a challenge I am relishing. I want to help people rediscover the meaning of happiness and find a sense of freedom again.

I am Christophe Gredin, co-founder of Hoorays!
Originally from Normandy, I spent most of my teenage life in the Loire Valley where my parents had a bike shop. At the age of 5, getting my first cycling license initiated my love for the fitness world.
After obtaining a degree in Restaurant and Hotel Management, I spent 25 years running award-winning restaurants in London. I learnt that to be successful in the hospitality business, you need passion and be ready to give. It is not “how much” you give, but “how much love” you put into giving. Thriving for excellence and making people happy have always been my top priority.
At some stage in life, we need to reflect on what would make us truly happy. No matter how successful we are, we should always be open to self explore and analyse our life and set our own expectations.
This happened to me when I turned 40!
​
Using my experience in hospitality combined with my love for sport and nutrition, I decided to become a fitness and nutrition coach. Today my mission is to help my clients find their physical and mental happiness.
​
My journey made me realize that there is more I can do for people and our planet and this is what Hoorays! is all about, happiness, community, and sustainability, and of course my friendship with Anthony!
When the body, mind & spirit work together... anything is possible!
We are Anthony Guinehut & Christophe Gredin, the co-founders of Hoorays!
Our friendship goes back to grade 7, and together we work as a whole, better than what either of us could do individually. During a casual chat in January 2020, we realized that with our 25 years experience, we had the knowledge and passion to embark on a new challenge and share our vision with others.
Hoorays! was thus born.
​
Our mission with Hoorays! is to offer different types of wellness services that will bring people together again and create a sense of community.
Our online events will give our clients the chance to connect with like-minded people around various topics. Happiness can be found in many ways.
Our wellness escapes will be designed to ensure that our clients get the greatest benefit and will go back home “reborn”.
With our sustainable products, our clients will be able to treat themselves with a trendy selection of jewelry, accessories, shoes, and more.
Today the world needs “tender loving care”. By the world, we refer to the people and our beloved planet. As humans, we need to rediscover the meaning of well-being and give ourselves a chance to rejuvenate and reset. Our planet should also get its slice of love.
​
This is the beginning of Hoorays! and there will be much more to come.
HIP HIP HIP HOORAYS!
