Miles, now stronger and fitter than ever before, attributes his improvements to the exercise and community spirit at Community Moves in Neutral Bay. "I’m a lot fitter than I was a year or two ago," Miles says, adding, "I feel good." He’s even taken up running, something he hadn’t done in years.

Finding Strength and Community at the Gym

When Miles' wife suggested he join a gym, he wasn’t sure what to expect. However, it wasn’t long before he found the supportive environment he needed. "It's a real community," he shares. The small, supervised classes offered at Community Moves allowed him to build strength at his own pace. He now attends three to four times a week and appreciates the welcoming atmosphere that encourages everyone to do their best, regardless of ability.
