**Meet George – 92 Years young and a true Lords legend**  
If you've ever wandered through Lords in the morning, chances are you've seen George. At 92 years old, he's one of our most dedicated (and most charming) regulars. Being a member for nearly two decades, his routine hasn't gone astray - 7:30am workout, followed by his daily chinwag with staff and members, then it's all topped off with his cappuccino at the café reading the morning headlines.

George is a shining example of how staying active can be simple, social and seriously good fun - no matter your age. We recently sat down with him for a quick Q&A about his routine, his favourite parts of Lords, and a few rapid fire questions to get to know the man behind the morning workouts.

Q: How long have you been a member at Lords?

George: "Around about 20 years."

Q: What first brought you to Lords?

George: "My family. Some 20 odd years ago, I had my pipes replaced in my heart - and after that everyone said you must exercise. That was the beginning of it, and it more or less became a bit of a habit. And then of course I met some nice people along the way, which made me want to stay."

Q: What's your morning routine?

George: "A bit of fruit, maybe a cup of tea and then I come here [Lords]. This place is my starter of the morning - it gets me going. Then when I've come to Lords, I'm ready to function for the rest of the day."

Q: What is your routine at the Lords gym?

George: "Little bit of this, a little bit of that. I do the chest expanders, I do a bit of leg work. But nothing in particular, just the general "get me going" type of exercises. Loosen the muscles you know."

Q: Who's your favourite person/people at Lords?

George: "The coffee girls and the reception team. They're all very nice. Also young Elouise Buckley is also not bad - we get on alright."

Q: What do you love about Lords?

George: "You've got everything here, come on! You walk through that door - space! You've got your basketball courts, your group fitness studio - pilates and yoga, you go along and you've got the pool. If you get overheated you just jump in. Of course as well you can then have a game of tennis. You've got everything here - the biggest combinations of things under one roof."

Q: What's your secret to staying active and healthy?

George: "Force - my family is at me if I don't exercise or go to Lords."
