Simon is 58 and lives in Stratum. He joined Hex Life with a clear goal in mind — to lose weight, get fitter, rebuild his strength, and safely rehab his knee after surgery.
Like many people coming back to training later in life, Simon wanted results — but without risking further injury.
The Challenge
Before joining Hex Life, Simon was worried about his knee.
He knew he needed to move more, get stronger, and improve his fitness, but the fear of doing the wrong thing or pushing too hard held him back.
Generic gym programmes simply didn’t feel safe or suitable for where he was at.
Why He Nearly Didn’t Start
Simon openly admits he was sitting on the fence.
Committing to a structured programme felt like a big step — especially with a previous injury and concerns about whether training would actually help or make things worse.
The Turning Point
From the start, Simon noticed the difference.
The coaches took the time to understand his knee, tailored his programme carefully, and adjusted sessions so he could train safely while still making real progress.
The small group environment meant he wasn’t just another number — he had guidance, feedback, and support every step of the way.
The Results
Since training at Hex Life, Simon has achieved:
✅ Improved knee strength and confidence post-surgery
✅ Increased overall fitness and strength
✅ Safe, structured progress without fear of overworking injuries
✅ Consistency through a tailored, long-term training plan
Here’s what Simon had to say:
“The coaches have been brilliant. They tailor the programmes so I don’t overwork my knee and it keeps getting stronger. It’s the best move I’ve ever made.”
