Mike Jones is one of the most dedicated Gym Athletes in the UK. Whether he is organising events such as 'The Gorton Grueller' or being part of the set up as a judge, or time keeper in any of the Gym Series events, there can be no doubting Mike's commitment to see the sport grow.

At the age of 50 Mike now moves on to Vet Status, competing with the likes of Gary Nicholls and I'm sure these two Gym Athletes will go on to perform for as many years as they can and serve as a constant reminder to those thinking of taking up the sport, that to be the best in sport - it's the all over fitness at any age that is one of the most inspiring aspects of X Training.
