If you need some motivation to get in shape, these senior citizen powerlifters from Metro Detroit are it.

This amazing group of athletes was featured on Good Morning America today, and the segment was nothing short of inspiring.

Greysteel Strength and Conditioning in Farmington Hills, Michigan, specializes in fitness for older adults, those in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

The benefits of powerlifting and strength training were discussed, and they are as follows,

  • Reduce the risk of falling
  • Improved memory
  • Improved balance
  • Improved independence for older adults

A married couple, John and Valerie Rosengren, in their 70s, featured in the popular morning show segment, have been training at Greysteel Gym for the past ten years. Their strength and fitness are truly impressive. See for yourself in the video below.

Christine Lauffer shared her journey of being in intensive care before she began powerlifting. Now, at 78 years old, she can deadlift 151 pounds.

Yes, you read that right - she can lift 151 pounds at the age of 78.

If this remarkable group of senior athletes doesn’t inspire you to get moving and hit the gym, it’s hard to imagine what will. Their dedication, strength, and determination are nothing short of motivating.

Greysteel Strength and Conditioning is located at 29537 West Nine Mile Rd, 48336.

If you know of any other gyms in Mid-Michigan that cater to senior citizens, please let me know. I would love to help spread the word.
