Member Profile - Darren Ward

Name: Darren Ward.

Member since: October 2008.

Reason why you joined: So George could have a matching bald brother in the club! Plus Aris' joke for the day! No It was really to lose some blubber and gain fitness in a challenging & supportive environment.

Reason why you have stayed: George might be lonely with only 1 baldy in the club! George is always challenging me and the workouts are always different which build engagement, plus George knows my strengths & weaknesses and can adapt my workouts to suit me whilst working within the workout on the board for the day i.e. doing all the cardio in 1 go to really get the heart rate up and about.

Favourite machine: Versa - followed very closely by the rower.

Favourite exercise: Chest press - followed very closely by squats.

Philosophy on exercising: Move it or Lose it.

Football team you support: There is only 1 team - Port Adelaide - We'll never stop, stop, stop!

Favourite drink: Water - with freshly sliced lemon or a slither of lime... followed very closely by Coffee - Soy Latte!

Favourite food: It's a Spanish dish from El Choto containing - roasted pumpkin & chick pea salad, fennel seed, parsley and goats curd. I'm not a cheese eater so I replace the Goats curd with flavoured Tofu to bulk it up a bit. It contains all of the essential nutrients needed and tastes refreshing. For those in the know and those who like "super-foods", I sprinkle Chia seeds and Turmeric over the top of it which provides energy, vitality and free radical fighting qualities and also aids digestion. After eating this you will feel like participating in the "Running of the Bulls"!

Quote: "Don't add to the world's carbon footprint, become lean & mean to live a healthier, sustained happier life."
