๐ฅณHappy 81st Birthday John ๐ ๐
John started training at 72 years young, and for the past 9 years he has shown what consistency and smart strength training can achieve ๐ช
When John first came to the gym, he had neck pain, which is why he started personal training with me. In our sessions, we focused on building back strength to improve posture and support his neck, and over time the neck pain disappeared, posture has gotten better, and he said he felt taller ๐
Last year, his back began to tighten and became painful, so we adjusted our sessions to focus more on overall strength, mobility, and regular hamstring stretching. Iโm happy to say the back pain is now gone as well ๐ช
Training once a week, session after session, John always turns up, puts in the effort, and trusts the process. That commitment allows him to keep enjoying life โ from golfing (which he picked up two years ago), to off-road caravan trips (very often), spending time with his six grandkids, and living a very active retirement.
John brings great humour to every session and reminds us that age is just a number. Itโs what you do consistently โ and the right strength training โ that truly pays off.
Hereโs hoping we keep training together for another 9 years.
You are truly inspirational, John ๐๐ช
