How a 94-year-old retiree became a gym rat
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Like many gym rats, Paul Russell lifts weights and runs obstacle courses.
Here’s what makes him different: Russell is 94 — so old he has been retired longer than his personal trainer has been alive.
“I have no intention on stopping. Not until I get too sick or too … whatever,” Russell sajd.
Russell is the oldest member of Max Fitness in St. John’s, N.L., where he strength trains twice a week with Dane Woodland, a man 67 years his junior.
