Client of the Month - Steve Creelman

Steve has been attending our Active One group exercise classes for over 18 months and has been a dedicated and determined member from the very beginning. When we asked him what keeps him coming back, his answer was simple: commitment and community.

For Steve, the classes have given him a purpose to get up and get moving. The results speak for themselves. He has improved both balance and strength, increasing from lifting 6–7kg to now chest pressing 15kg, while also better managing his diabetes and supporting his heart health. Steve has particularly enjoyed challenging himself with weights, which he says has had a key impact on managing his condition. His cardiovascular fitness has also improved, inspiring him to do even more outside of class, including riding his bike to sessions.

The structure provided by our Exercise Physiologists (EPs), combined with the supportive group environment, has been a game-changer for Steve. This consistency has brought positive change into his life, noticed not only by him but also by those around him. The most important benefit, he says, has been the profound impact on his mental health: “The sessions help with stress, give me energy, and boost my confidence. It’s made a real difference in my life.”

What Steve values most about Active One is the friendships, the guidance from our EPs, and the encouragement that makes every session enjoyable. “It’s a friendly environment where everyone is motivated. The team really understands the challenges people face as they get older and knows how to guide us safely.”

On top of his personal achievements, Steve is always engaging, supportive, and encouraging to everyone in the class — a wonderful example of the values we hold at Active One. With momentum building, Steve is excited to keep going, getting stronger, healthier, and happier with each class. And we’ll be right here in his corner, cheering him on.

Keep up the great work, Steve, we can’t wait to see what you achieve next!
