Meet our member of the month: Margaret from PCYC Hills District

Maragaret walks through the doors at PCYC Hills District five days a week, rain or shine!

Now retired, Margaret hasn’t slowed down one bit. When she’s not in the gym, she’s giving back to the wider community through her volunteer work and continuing her lifelong pattern of showing up for others.

I have been training at PCYC Queensland for over 10 years.

For me, it’s more than just a gym. It’s the community, the friendly faces, the clean facilities, and the freedom of a 24/7 gym that lets me train when it suits me. My gym friends are my social network, we train together, support one another, and share plenty of laughs along the way!  

I have been exercising five days a week for more than 50 years… a lifelong habit built on consistency, resilience, and joy in staying active.

My goals are to keep moving, stay fit, maintain supple joints, and avoid unnecessary trips to the doctor. (She’s living proof that consistency works!)

My favourite thing to do at the gym is the leg press. (Margaret is still pressing over 60kg in her 80s!)
