A Family That Trains Together, Stays Together

Starting at 48: Why Fitness Has No Age Limit

Before joining Carbon Gym, Claire had never been to a gym. “I started in January last year,” she explains. “I’d never been to a gym before, but my son and daughter were already members, so they encouraged me to join.”

Since then, Claire has been coming five times a week, driving 25 minutes each way. “The vibe here is so good—it’s worth coming,” she says. Her story is proof that it’s never too late to start, no matter your age or experience.

Pushing Through Challenges and Finding Strength

Claire’s journey hasn’t been without its hurdles. “I’ve got a few back issues with my age,” she admits. While she prefers lower-body workouts, these can be tough at times. “I’m working on it,” she says with determination.
