Background

When I Started: May 2006
HOW I STARTED:

Never walked into a gym until five and a half years ago at the age of 44, very overweight. Can't believe that I didn't do it many years prior. Have been going regularly since.

WHY I LOVE IT:

The good feeling after a hard workout; seeing my body be transformed.

Motivation

I am noticing a lot more posts lately regarding people losing their motivation to train.  I find it ironic that for the first 44 years of my life, I would be the last person you would find in a gym, yet since I joined a gym I have never lost my motivation.  I can't see myself ever not working out!
