Dean is a long standing gym member who always has a great attitude towards his training and our other members, and his ability to set new goals and commit wholeheartedly to them is to be envied.
How long have you been a Gym+Fitness member?
I have been a member for almost two years now. I joined PCYC Gladstone because the new gym space had everything I need and so much room with the open gym floor and functional room at the back. There’s also no shortage of equipment!
What do you love about PCYC Gladstone?
I really like the space and how open it is with all the new equipment. The staff and other members are so welcoming and friendly everyone helps everyone when new people come in or see others struggling with some movements.
Tell us about your fitness journey! Do you have any goals?
My fitness journey started at a young age, where I started training at a local gym for a few years and jumped over to Crossfit for 5 years. I competed in a few local competitions until I had some injuries come through. My current fitness journey I’m on involves competing in my first bodybuilding show this year for the IFBB.
What is your favourite piece of equipment at the gym and why?
I have a lot of favourite pieces of equipment! You kind of learn to love the training you do when you do it every day. But the one that stands out would have to be incline barbell bench press and close second would have to be leg extensions.
What are your top tips for staying motivated with your fitness routine?
Keep a routine, have a goal and start small and work your way up from there. Stay consistent – you’re always making progress even if it doesn’t look like it or feel like it.
