Member Spotlight – Ken Mckeon

At 80, Ken Mckeon proves that age is only a number when it comes to fitness and strength. A member of PARC since 2022, Ken is a beloved part of the PARC Health Club community and is often seen working hard in Powerzone. 

We spoke with Ken and asked him to highlight a few of the things he loved most about being a PARC member.  

 How long have you been a PARC member?  

I’ve been a member for 3 years; since October 2022. 

What do you love about coming to PARC? 

The connections and friendships I have made with fellow members in class. Coming to PARC means feeling connected and being part of a community.  

What keeps you motivated? 

Feeling strong and keeping niggling injuries away.  

We loved speaking to Ken, and what he enjoys most about being a part of our PARC community. Members like Ken are who make our PARC community so special.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober:

🛗 Take the stairs – Skip the lift when you can.
🚗 Park further away – Add a few hundred steps before you`ve even started your day.
📞 Walk while you talk – Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move.
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime – Even 10 minutes counts.
🖥️ Step on the spot – Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
