David

David had always been a team sports guy. Gyms weren't his thing, and for most of his life he'd never needed them to be. But at 53 he'd arrived at the point most people reach eventually, where taking better care of yourself stops being optional. He wasn't doing much of that, and he knew it.

Strength training turned out to be the thing that stuck. He started skeptically, once a week, expecting a short experiment. Then twice. Then three times. Somewhere along the way it stopped being an experiment and became simply part of how he lives.

The goals followed. He set his sights on lifting 100kg in the back squat and got there, hitting three reps before dropping back to 95. He's since pushed past it. For someone who spent five decades convinced he wasn't a gym person, that milestone arrived faster than he expected, and it changed what he thought was available to him.

What he wanted was somewhere he'd feel welcome, without the pressure and the push of a traditional gym. VAMOS is exactly that for him, and the rest followed. He's got the bug now, and he just wants to keep coming back and getting stronger.
