Brendan Smythe: May 25 - Member of the Month

Congratulations to Brendan Smythe our May Member of the Month and newest 10 Year Member.

Brendan has been a member of Key to Life for 10 glorious years which is an outstanding achievement and shows how much time and commitment Brendan has put into his health and fitness over these years.

Brendan has been a regular at the Monday 6:30pm and Wed 6am Outdoor Box Blast Sessions and has recently picked up a 1:1 PT session to fine tune some of his goals. He has also attended numerous Running and Social Events over his 10 years as a Key to Life Member.

Brendan has been an absolute pleasure to train and always brings a can-do attitude to the sessions he attends.

This work ethic and his active approach to life is why Brendan is our KTL Member of the Month for May.

A huge congratulations to you Brendo you superstar.

Over to you Brendan:

1. What motivated you to start your health and fitness journey with Key to Life?

I have always been active and as I get older and wiser I just wanted to stay this way as long as I possibly could. KTL has helped me to maintain this over a very long time.

2. What is it that keeps you attending your Key To Life session or sessions on a regular basis?

While exercise is important to me, I find that the friendships I have formed with all members over the years does keep driving me to get the best out of myself.

3. What is your favourite Key to Life Training session or favourite exercise and why?

I used to always say Box Blast was my favourite, however the PT Session I have recently started is now my fav as it provides me with improved strength by lifting weights.

4. If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your favourite?

Most of the KTL recipes I enjoy so I can't really choose a favourite one.

5. What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key to Life?

Training for over 10 years is an achievement that I am super proud of and has given me the ability to get more out of my body.

6. What advice would you give somebody just starting at Key to Life?

Just start, because you will enjoy it after only after a handful of sessions and its so much fun being part of a Big Family that is Key to Life.
