September Athlete of the Month - Michael Mason

​Michael embarked on his fitness journey with us in May of 2022, driven by a compelling set of goals. He sought to regain his energy, rekindle his love for an active lifestyle, slip into clothes that had long been neglected, and simply feel better overall. Over the course of the past 15 months, Michael has not only achieved these objectives but has also exceeded them in remarkable ways.
​

A significant source of inspiration for Michael is his father, Bob, who has been a constant beacon of physical activity throughout Michael's life. Bob's enduring passion for adventure, whether it was water skiing, snow skiing, or engaging in various sports with Michael and his 3 brothers throughout their childhood, left a lasting impression on Michael. Now at the age of 93, Bob's continued vitality serves as a constant reminder of the value of staying active during one's younger years.

​When Michael initially embarked on his training program, he encountered challenges that might have discouraged others. His coordination was lacking, balance was an issue, but he recognized the importance of this step in his long-term health and fitness journey. Undeterred by the initial difficulties, Michael persevered through every session, unwavering in his commitment to consistency.

​Through practice and determination, he has made astounding progress. If you were to witness him in the gym today, you would hardly believe how far he has come. Individuals like Michael serve as a profound source of inspiration for our training team, as we relish witnessing our clients push through their barriers, step out of their comfort zones, and embrace the journey of progress.
​

Since commencing his fitness journey, Michael has witnessed a significant improvement in his coordination, core strength, and muscle mass. Moreover, he has honed his self-awareness in movement, enhanced his posture, and gained a newfound confidence in his physical abilities, both within and outside the gym.
Michael has discovered that he doesn't need to accept the effects of aging as an inevitable reality. His motivation stems from the tangible changes in his body, the enhanced mobility he experiences, and the satisfaction of fitting into clothes that had remained untouched for too long.
​

​It's Michael's unwavering commitment and the profound shift in his mindset that have propelled him to achieve the remarkable results he's attained. Despite his busy schedule and various responsibilities, Michael no longer brushes the gym aside when his day gets hectic. He acknowledges that his best days begin with a gym session, and he has made it a non-negotiable part of his routine.

​
​Michael's progress fills us with immense pride, and we can’t wait to witness all the successes that the future holds for him as he continues his journey with the same commitment and dedication.
