A Lodge Park Sports Centre Success Story Featuring EGYM Smart Strength 🔵
When Sue first walked into Lodge Park Sports Centre on 3rd September 2025, she admitted something many new members feel:
➡️ She had never used a gym before.
With her 69th birthday just around the corner, she knew it was time to invest in what mattered most — her strength, her health, and her future. Taking that first step wasn’t easy, but Sue made a powerful decision:
🌟 She wanted to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in everyday life.
With the support of her instructor Jana, Sue began training twice a week using the EGYM Smart Strength machines — technology designed to guide every movement, track progress automatically, and personalise resistance perfectly for her needs.
Every session became safe, structured, and empowering. 🔧📈And what followed has been truly inspiring. ✨

Not only has Sue committed to her sessions with Jana, but she now completes an additional workout independently — something she never imagined doing when she first stepped inside our gym.
The combination of smart equipment and expert coaching has fast‑tracked her confidence and strength.
📊 Outstanding Progress (15th Sept 2025 → 4th Feb 2026)
🔥 Lat Pulldown: Nearly doubled
🔥 Seated Row: 21.5 kg → 50 kg
🔥 Back Extension: 30.9 kg → 58.3 kg
🔥 Leg Curl: 4 kg → 27.7 kg
These aren’t just numbers — they represent life‑changing strength gains for someone who had never used a gym before. 💥
Through the connected EGYM app, Jana can monitor Sue’s programme, adjust sessions, and offer ongoing support — ensuring every rep is tailored, safe, and enjoyable. 📱💙
Sue’s transformation shows exactly what EGYM is designed to do:
Turn beginners into strong, confident movers — no matter their age or experience.
Her current BioAge Strength score now reflects a biological age of 62, proving just how far she has come. 🌱💪
