Speaker 1: with my recorder to find out that you've just sort

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: of got a space there for We put this sight

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: the older crowd.

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the average age of our members is around fifty six.

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: We are for the older population, but we do have

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: some young guys and girls girls that are as well.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Some some teenagers, but mainly thirty thirty years plus.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: And it all started from Frank Connelly's work, didn't it.

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: It did. Yes. Originally Frank opened up the gym and

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: had a physio through there and it was mainly around

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: have an exercise and since then we've yeah, taken over

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: three years ago and grown from there.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: Something that is a real theme when you read through

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of these comments is the connection that people

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: make for life and just the fun, just the environments

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: that you've nurtured. There is that a real focus for you.

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is all about community for us. Really great

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: community vibes there and everyone talks to each other, which

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: is really really important. It's very uncommon for people to

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: come in with their headphones. There are some people and

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: we totally understand that, and a lot of our members

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: they do tend to say hello to each other, see

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: how the day's going. It is a real community vibe

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: just for the Yarns.

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: What gives you the biggest cac.

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: I think just for me at least to seeing people's

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: results and the confidence that gives those people, whether it's

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: someone that's just starting out of the gym or someone

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: that's been with us for years, to have those ones

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: for those people when they succeed, we succeed and we

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: love to see those people make progress. So that's the

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: big one for me is if they're getting results, we're

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: getting results and we love that.

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,760
