Are you wondering what the Strong Program is? Well, it’s an ongoing strength training study to assist people with, and at risk of, Type 2 Diabetes and Geelong’s Gym is proud to be a research centre for this life changing study.

How is it life changing, you may ask? I’ll let our participants share that with you; here are some of the results that they are already experiencing:

Reduced Lower Back pain
Felt steadier and more in control when walking down stairs.
Greater cardiovascular endurance.
Stronger
Choosing to walk more in everyday activities
No more Cramps. Nocturnal cramping (that required Quinine medication) has stopped completely.
Changes in body shape. Large arms now fit into standard size fit clothing.
Rolls of back fat are reducing significantly.
People comment that they are “looking well/looking healthy”.
More tired but so rewarding…a different tired.
Increased confidence to exercise by themselves.
Feel independent and in control.
Feel a sense of “HEALING” after a horrendous few years.

Now those are fantastic results.
