MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
JOHN EPTA (John Epta) and HARRY BICKERS (Harry Bickers ) have been part of the MYGYM family for many years. You’ve probably seen these two champions moving some serious weight around the gym. Although they continue to push boundaries, test their limits and set new goals, what stands out the most is the humble way in which they carry themselves on the gym floor - always making time for a quick chat or to give some helpful advice to those around them.
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Over the age of 50, both John and Harry recently competed in the WRPF Nationals for Powerlifting and after months of consistent training and preparation and while working through some injuries and other obstacles, their results were incredible - including Australian and World Records.
See their competition stats below.
Always leading by example, their passion and commitment are incredibly motivating to everyone around them. They are a great reminder to never lower your expectations of yourself. Keep setting goals, keep improving and keep challenging yourself no matter your age or what gets in the way.
John and Harry, we’re incredibly proud to have you both as part of the MYGYM family and we love to see you working hard on the gym floor. We’re looking forward to following your competitive journey and seeing a few more records along the way.
