I am honored to donate blood as often as possible. I know how much it can help someone in need.
What inspired you to start your fitness journey?
After being retired for two years and fixing everything I could around the house, my wife inspired me to come. My wife told me I was becoming a "couch potato."
If you have a workout playlist, what are the must-have artists?
The Bee Gees, Johnny Cash, and Madonna.
What's your favorite thing about being a member of this fitness center?
It's my home away from home. I feel much stronger and my energy level goes up. Even on days I don't feel like working out, I will come because I enjoy the social aspect of the gym.
