✨August Member of the Month!✨
Meet Paul 🙋♂️
Paul has been nominated as our Member of the Month for August because of his sheer determination in the face of adversity and his friendliness around the gym.
We wanted to share Paul's story and why he is such as inspiration to admire!
Paul has been in the fitness industry for over 13 years, progressing through his career to become a Level 4 GP Referral Specialist. He’s now working towards completing his degree to become a physiotherapist.
For a long time, Paul has suffered with silent hip-spine syndrome, which has since progressed to the point where it impacts his daily routines and his control over his body.
Despite this, he continues to push through the pain, adapting his exercises to suit his abilities while awaiting surgery. It takes a huge amount of physical and mental effort, particularly as he currently has very little control over his lower body.
And just to be clear… he assures us he’s not using alcohol as his pre-workout — he just doesn’t have the balance or awareness of where his legs are! 😂
Even with everything he’s dealing with, Paul is always happy to help others in the gym and share his knowledge. Not only does this help boost his morale, but it also allows him to keep his physiotherapy knowledge and clinical skills fresh as he continues developing as a therapist.
A great example of perseverance, passion and continuing to help others, even when things aren’t easy. 💪
