How long have you been a Gym+Fitness member?
I have been a Gym+Fitness member for around two years now. I joined because no matter which PCYC club I went to, I also found there to be a great, lovely community and I have made friends and been well looked after at every club I have been to.
What do you love about PCYC Maranoa?
I really enjoy how holistic PCYC Maranoa is, with Activ8 Fundamentals and Activ8 Group Training included in my membership, which I have used to really maximise my progress. All the staff members are really kind and the trainers are very helpful and professional! But mainly, I cannot stress enough just how wonderful the PCYC community is!
Tell us about your fitness journey! Do you have any goals?
I aim to not be using any form of assisting device when I am 90. I want to be able to get up and down without any help and remain fiercely independent. I’d rather be the oldest person in the gym that the youngest in a nursing home!
What is your favourite workout class and why?
I love the Activ8 Strength class. I really enjoy getting stronger, staying focused, and seeing real progress. I also find that it helps me get my heart rate up as well as my muscles working!
What is your favourite piece of equipment at the gym and why?
My favourite piece of equipment is definitely the Lat Pull Down Machine. It is great for ladies wanting to get rid of their back fat!
What are your top tips for staying motivated with your fitness routine?
“It doesn’t matter how fast you go as long as you don’t stop”. Some days you might be lifting more while the others less but as long as you keep going you will get there.
“Celebrate the non-scale wins”. Losing weight isn’t everything. When I first started, I was only doing 20kgs on the Lat Pulldown, now I am doing 35kgs. Every day you go to the gym and improve, and keeping going should be celebrated just as much as losing weight.
