Hi, I’m Martin, a 51-year-old army veteran. I was a member of the Sports Centre before it closed in 2017. Since reopening, I was one of the first members back through the doors. I love coming here to support my mental health. It’s a place where I can switch off, focus, and be around friendly, like-minded people.
Adapting and achieving
Due to a knee injury from my time in the army, there are some limitations on what I can do, so I’ve adapted my training to suit.
I particularly enjoy using the Peloton bikes, and last year I completed a 300-mile cycle for charity in just 16 days!
Why Kidsgrove Sports Centre?
For me, it’s the sense of community, the quality equipment, and the friendly people that keep me coming back.
