I was in my early 40's and just feeling old and fat. No energy and my gut was hanging over my belt. I had always vowed I'd never let that happen so I took myself to the nearest gym and joined up. After about 3 months of messing about I got serious and hired a personal trainer, and the rest is history. I was lucky to have hired someone knowledgable and who believed in the old fashioned power of iron, reps, intensity and diet. 7 years later I'm in the best shape of my life. I've just turned 50, a major milestone in my life and happy to say the best time of my life.

Love the pump, love the compliments, love how I fill out a T-Shirt, love the recognition from others that I've achieved something many never will ...... I love being able to set goals and achieve them. I'm stronger, not just physically but mentally and my self confidence is through the roof... considering I was once shy and introverted, you'd never get me in shorts and t-shirt, let alone shirtless at the beach....now!!! Just try holding me back.... I'm a whole new person.
