In fact, it’s the longest voluntary commitment he’s ever made outside of work or anything compulsory, and it’s become a genuine part of his life.
The Challenge
Before joining Hex Life, Declan hadn’t found anything fitness-related that truly stuck long term.
Like many people, consistency was the hard part.
He wanted to feel better physically, but also mentally — and to find something that would support him as he got older, rather than feel like a constant battle.
Why He Nearly Didn’t Start
At the beginning, Declan never imagined he’d still be training six years later.
Committing to something long term felt unlikely, and like most people, there was a question of whether it would really make a meaningful difference beyond the short term.
The Turning Point
Somewhere along the way, training stopped being something Declan did — and became part of who he is.
Hex Life became woven into his routine, supporting not just his physical health, but his headspace, confidence, and outlook on the future.
The Results
Six years on, Declan is still showing up — and feeling the benefits every day.
He’s achieved:
✅ Long-term consistency (over 6 years of training)
✅ Better physical health and energy
✅ Improved headspace and mental wellbeing
✅ Greater confidence about ageing and the future
✅ A lifestyle habit that genuinely makes life better
Here’s how Declan puts it:
“It’s the longest voluntary commitment I’ve ever made.
I feel better physically, my headspace is better, and mentally I feel more confident about my future and about ageing.”
And yes — he even learned to enjoy the exercises most people hate:
“I like deadlifts, I like thrusters, I like burpees…
But I hate cleans. I hate them so much.”
What This Means for You
If you’re looking for something that lasts — not a quick fix, not a phase — Declan’s story shows what’s possible.
Hex Life isn’t just about workouts.
It’s about building a routine that supports your body, your mind, and your confidence as the years go on.
