When Sue Prince joined Anytime Fitness, it was because her previous gym was closing down, and the new location in Auburndale, FL was just opening up. She chose Anytime Fitness because the gym was close to home for her, and now, she’s been a member for over ten years! Talk about serendipity.
Sue joined Anytime Fitness when she was in her seventies, and started by walking a few miles on the treadmill, five or six days a week. Now that she’s retired, she visits the gym every day. Her favorite way to work out is taking Silver Sneakers and Wellbeats classes, which have helped her keep up her strength and balance.
Sue loved the classes, but unfortunately, a fall led to a hip injury that kept her out of class for six weeks. Too long, Sue says! Missing her fitness family, she asked her doctor if she could start doing her physical therapy there. A few phone calls later and Sue was back at it with her AF family. Even if she was just working out 15 or 20 minutes a day, she was glad to be back, and always felt that the gym helped improve her attitude.
Sue made an incredible recovery and was back in the gym in no time. She also uses the Evolt scanner to track her fitness progress, and recently, at 82 years old, she scored a Bio Age of 67! Your Bio Age score is based on your internal health, such as muscle mass, body fat and more, so the fact that Sue’s score was 15 years below her age means that she’s in seriously good shape. She also scored a perfect Bio-Wellness Index score, a calculation that provides an overall measure of healthy lean body mass, of 10 out of 10.
Sue’s Evolt scan success is just one of the many measures of her health – she’s got the passion to back it up, too! She recently stepped up and earned her Silver Sneakers certification so that she could teach the class in her club. In doing so, she showed her support for the Anytime Fitness community, as the gym had lost their Silver Sneakers teacher due to staff changes during the pandemic.
According to the AF Auburndale team, “Sue embodies Anytime Fitness and our community here in Auburndale. We’re so lucky to have her!”
