Every week, we highlight one incredible member of our AB community — someone whose consistency, progress, or positivity stands out. This week, we’re proud to feature Andrew, who joined AB in 2019 and has been bringing strength, resilience, and a great sense of humor to every session since.
What brought you to AB?
Back in 2019, Andrew was gym-hunting and came across AB through a quick Google search. What set it apart? A focus on safety, clear walkways (no running on roads), and a well-organized environment close to home.
“AB seemed the safest out of all the others I visited. It was also very close to home, seemed very organised — which I like — and the price was very affordable. The supportive community is what made me stay.”
A Win to Be Proud Of
Andrew recently celebrated a huge personal milestone — recovering from a lower back injury. That kind of dedication and patience is something we admire deeply.
Community Matters
More than just fitness, AB has given Andrew a space to connect with others.
“I have people I can relate to and talk to. Being part of a loving community is refreshing.”
Favourite Unexpected Moment
We all have our fun gym moments, and for Andrew, one stood out:
“Doing the suitcase carry this Wednesday evening — we called it the ‘shopping bag carry.’ I love to carry my groceries from the shop instead of having them delivered.”
Favourite Class and Movement
Andrew’s go-to is the Friday 12PM Iron-Strength class. He’s especially hooked on the squats (even if he jokingly shows up a little late to dodge a few sets).
“I love the squats and doing them in the 30-20-10 second style got me hooked — but they are incredibly challenging. I come late so I usually miss most of them, luckily haha.”
What Keeps Him Coming Back?
“Making it a purpose and thinking about how happy it makes me feel to be around the lovely community of people that we have at AB.”
That mindset is exactly what makes Andrew such a valued part of our community.
A Recent Small (but Big) Win
“Bench pressing 20kg with my right arm despite the issues I’ve had with my right shoulder.”
We love seeing members celebrate progress like this — it’s proof that the small steps add up to big results.
Post-Workout Feels
“Refreshed, happy, and proud.”
Exactly the feeling we strive to deliver.
AB in Three Words
Fun. Supportive. Community.
Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your story with us. We’re lucky to have you as part of the AB community.
At AB, every member’s journey matters — and Andrew’s story is a powerful reminder that progress comes not just from physical strength, but from resilience, community, and unwavering commitment. Whether you’re just starting out or pushing through challenges, remember: you belong here, and your best self is waiting to be unlocked.
Keep showing up. Keep pushing forward. And just like Andrew, you’ll find that with the right support and mindset, anything is possible.
