They have more than thirty years’ experience each in the fitness industry as club owners.
In their late forties, after they’d hit rock bottom, a particularly turbulent period in their lives, Julie and Gary made wholesale changes. Both attended university at an age when most people are considering early retirement. They achieved first-class honours in Sports Studies (Gary), English and Education (Julie). These added to the fitness diplomas they already held. Also at this time both successfully completed 12 weeks mentor training with Greenhouse mentoring in the UK. The combined experiences of hitting rock bottom of a selfish, materialistic lifestyle and then re-educating themselves to be in service to others at such a late time of life acted as the catalyst to spark a new vigour and purpose into the way they both viewed life. Life seemed to begin in their late forties. Using the model of success that they had maintained in their fitness and physique-building world, throughout the bad times, even during the period when it seemed the rest of their world was evaporating before their very eyes, they made changes to every other part of their thought processes. They had to change the way they had been thinking to this point and the way they had been acting along with it. They adapted the rest of their lives using the highly positive physical health and fitness paradigm that had given such stability to their turbulent lives when they’d needed it most. They are learning more each day.
They both ticked physique competition off their bucket lists in their late forties and early fifties. They now train and mentor young people in what Gary calls “PT+”. Thanks to the example learned from their fitness lives in beleaguered times.view less
