Dreams Come True

“Fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes.  At 42 years old and 285 lbs, I knew I had to get more exercise.  I Phil Burgess 4 - Copystarted to ride my bike and was soon riding to work every day.  I joined a recreation cycling club and am now riding 5-6 days a week, with almost 150,000km logged in the past 13 years.  I ride pretty well all year round”

This past 2 years with the Phoenix Fitness Hamilton gang has helped improve Phil’s game.  This winter was the first time Phil didn’t gain back the “spare tire” he worked off the preceding summer.  The Spin classes also improved his cycling style and endurance.  “My Hamilton Personal Trainer has been fabulous in supporting my wife and I in our activities at the gym.”

He recently completed his first week long cycling holiday, where he averaged over 140km a day.  The highlight of his week was completing the Classic American Century 106 mile (170km).  The past two years Phil has combined his passion of cycling with his Volunteer spirit by providing First Aid Support at the “Round the Bay” road race as well as the Grand Bend To London 2 day MS Bike Tour.

Thank You Phoenix Fitness Hamilton.
