Inventor of the Goose Tee.

Have you always been involved in fitness or exercise?
No. I have pretended to be and convinced myself I was. Does that count?

What brought you to Planet Fitness?
I had major surgery 1 year ago on my abdominals. 104kg, weak arms, weak legs, years of drinking and gorging had to be reversed.

Did you have a goal when you first joined Planet Fitness?
Total body transformation, whilst remembering “you don’t have to break records”.

Have you achieved what you originally set out to do?
I have not reached the final goal but I have reached the goals that lead to the final goal.

What was your perception of gyms/health clubs before you joined? Has it changed after joining Planet Fitness?
My perception of the gym was that it was a place for a certain type of health conscious person. It has changed in that I realise everyone is trying to get to the same place.

What are your fitness goals for the future?
To reach my “transformation” and stay there.

Biggest obstacles you have had to overcome on your fitness journey?
WILL POWER. Had some, needed more, got more, getting more week after week.

Do you have any sources of inspiration? If so, who/what are they?
God. If God is for us, who can be against us?

What is your weekly fitness regime?
I walk my dogs every day and come to the gym 6 days a week.
