Meet Julian! As well as being an all time legend here at OJ Gyms Cranbrook, we give an extra special Happy Birthday to Julian who celebrated his 80th birthday this month 🥳💪
Q: How many years have you been training / been active?
A: I’ve been a cyclist for many years, then I got into running and now I’ve found OJs Gym Cranbrook! To answer the question more clearly, I’ve been active for quite some time and I’m so happy to now be part of such a great, friendly and social environment.
Q: What exercise did you do well in the past?
A: I’ve completed a few half marathons and one full marathon.
Q: How long have you been a member at OJs Gym Cranbrook?
A: I’m not exactly sure, I think about 6 years - I haven’t looked back as I thoroughly enjoy it and have benefited enormously both physically and mentally.
Q: What keeps you going / motivates you?
A: My health and fitness continuously improving, increasing my bone density and generally encouraging myself to live a fit and active lifestyle. Also, the staff and fellow members keep me coming back!
Q: What’s your favourite equipment / machines here at OJs Gym Cranbrook?
A: I love using the vast range of dumbbells and the cables/pulleys because there are so many exercises you can do with them.
Q: Lastly, what advice would you give anyone unsure whether to start their gym journey?
A: Just do it! You won’t ever regret it! Don’t be afraid, as the staff are super lovely, friendly, supportive and encouraging. This place is an incredibly friendly and social environment — we talk a lot! This place is for everyone and I encourage everyone to come down and give it a go!
Happy 80th Birthday once again, Julian… and thank you for being such an inspiring part of the OJ community! 🎂👏🧡
