I'm a lady on the brink of retirement.

I was a very active woman in my 30's and 40's then settled into university to complete a property degree. With full time work and studying I had no time for exercise let alone marathons and long distance trails.

Eventually my body started to seize up.

By the time I turned 57 I was suffering from all sorts of pain and health problems. I knew I had to move.

That's when I found Mel.

I have a thousand reasons to get fit and strong again and I have Mel to thank for that!
