At 70, Joan MacDonald was struggling with health issues and dependent on medication, but after a conversation with her daughter, Michelle, she decided to take control of her health. By joining Michelle’s fitness transformation group in 2017, Joan began following custom workout plans and eventually working out at the gym.

Joan’s journey shows that it’s never too late to reclaim one’s health, proving that age is not a limitation but an opportunity for growth.
