Gym Member Returns to Club16 Richmond After Spinal Surgery

For Francisco, he had long respected and admired Trevor Linden. The convenient location close to home and affordable membership made the decision even easier to choose Club16.

After being away from the club for nearly six months during recovery, returning was not without hesitation. Stepping back into a fitness routine after a long absence felt intimidating, but the support they received from the Club16 team quickly made the transition feel more manageable.

Mark, the Richmond location's Fitness Manager, had stayed in touch throughout the member's recovery and absence. His care, encouragement, and readiness to help made a lasting impression. That continued connection meant the member returned to a familiar, welcoming environment rather than simply walking back into a gym after months away.

The member has also been training with Megan W, an exceptional personal trainer whose guidance has helped him in his fitness journey. In their training together, Francisco achieved unassisted pull-ups for the first time!

With Mark and Megan in their corner, the member is grateful to be back at Club16. What began as an intimidating return has become a meaningful continuation of their fitness journey. The club is not only close to home. It has now become a second home.
