“Throughout my life, I was skier, weightlifting, hiker and runner, including many local races of 10 km local. After replacement surgery of the aortic valve with an open heart at the end of 2023, I embarked on a cardio rehabilitation program introduced by the Cardio center: I mix this with my 24 -hour local fitness, where 20 years ago, I was able to conclude the biggest case of my life – a lifetime subscription for $ 5 per month. »»

“I love the fact that I have been able to keep my routine in recent years. I feel much stronger and more agile. No matter how tired I am, when I start a strength training, I feel very energetic later with a positive attitude towards things.
I work with a coach twice a week, so I have to introduce myself whatever happens. My third session is a group class and after a few sessions, I started to feel part of the group. The head of the group class is like a camp advisor urging us to go further and working harder. And with fun music that I would probably never listen to (by myself), I really appreciate each class. »»

“I am walking at university and I continued to do so sporadically. Other than that, I have never been previously lifted. I love the tonic look of the muscles and I like to feel strong and not to have to ask helps to move or lift things. It gives me a feeling of independence. “
—Edith Hicks, 66, catsworth, weighingtlIfs twice a week
“I tried to stay active all my life, everything, boxing and martial arts when I was young on the road and mountain bikes, climbing and skiing. I started (circuit training) at 17 and I have done it for 52 years. I warm up with dumbbells, I walk, I make a set of thrusts, I do another set of thrusts. And keep repeating.
I am 70 years old this year and I “famous” by making 700 pumps on my birthday and 70,000 pumps for the year. My goal is to add 1,000 pumps per year as long as possible. »»
