MEMBER OF THE MONTH – SEPTEMBER
Great to see someone from the medical profession practising what they preach and proving age is just a number.
Some inspiring words…
“In October 2025, at the age of 57, I embarked on a journey that many people believe belongs only to the young. I took my first steps into a gym, determined to improve my fitness, strength, and overall wellbeing.
Like any worthwhile journey, mine was not without its challenges. One of the biggest obstacles came in the form of an injury that forced me to stop training for several months. Rather than viewing the interruption as the end of my fitness journey, I chose to see it as a temporary pause. Giving up was never an option.
Today, I am proud to say that I have resumed my training and am gradually becoming stronger than ever before. Each session serves as a reminder that age should never be a barrier to personal growth.
As someone who comes from the medical profession, I appreciate the importance of a safe, clean, and well-organised training environment. One aspect that immediately stood out about the MP Fitness gym was its exceptional level of cleanliness and maintenance.
Equally impressive is the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. From day one, I found the entire team to be approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping members achieve their goals.
A special word of thanks must go to my trainer. There were days when I doubted my abilities, days when progress seemed slow, and days when returning after injury felt particularly challenging. Yet, my trainer never stopped believing in me.
My experience has taught me that it is never too late to invest in your health. Starting at 57 may not have been the conventional route, but it has shown me that fitness is not about age; it is about attitude.
To anyone who may be considering taking that first step but feels they are too old, too unfit, or too far behind, my message is simple: start anyway.”
