“My primary goal is to make me fit, make me stronger because I know the more you age, the more you need to exercise”
After 12 years away from the gym, successful entrepreneur Philip Cuazon Jr. embraced the Strong For Life lifestyle with Kinetix+, proving that strength has no age limit. His journey with Kinetix+ is a testament to his commitment in improving his fitness, health, and wellness.
From this interview with Mr. Philip Cuanzon Jr., he shares his fitness journey with Kinetix+ and how it helped in his overall health.
OSM: Okay, so to get started, can you tell us a bit about yourself, what you do for a living and your fitness background before joining us [Kinetix+].
Mr. Philip: To be honest I’m a senior citizen, I’m 63 years old, I’m a businessman, and regarding fitness programs the last time I went to the gym was about 12 years ago, okay. I started feeling weak and a lot of my doctors would recommend me to go back to the gym and do some exercises. So, I just started last January 8th (2024) and while having lunch in Tsumura, one of my favorite japanese restaurants, which is beside Kinetix[+] okay, and after dinner I saw this place and I walked in and checked it out and then I enrolled. You know, following my doctor’s advice, I started last January 8 (2024) and so far so good and I like it.
OSM: Do you think maintaining an active lifestyle has impacted your work life in any way?
Mr. Philip: Definitely, at first I didn’t believe it eh, I never really believed in exercising because when I was younger all I did was [party], I’m a party goer person, nightlife person. I used to smoke, not really drinking but I really am a heavy smoker, you know. But I have stopped that [and] it’s been three years since I stopped, quitting smoking cigarettes and then even vaping, I stopped.
I never thought by going back to the gym after 12 years or 15 years, I would enjoy it and Kinetix[+] gym has really influenced me to do my regular training now. I do a minimum of three times a week and three times a week physical therapy sessions with the coaches here.
OSM: Can you tell us about your Kinetix+ experience when it comes to coaching nutrition and the recovery services?
Mr. Philip: You know, at first when I joined, I enrolled on a monthly basis first because I know myself. I was enrolled in different gyms, I can say, I will not mention the name of the gyms but these are exclusive gyms, high-end gyms that I enrolled for a year, but you know, after visiting three or maximum of five times I quit, see. Mabilis ako tamarin, you know. But here in Kinetix[+], I don’t know, the atmosphere, the people are nice [and] friendly. The people who come here to the gym to exercise, parang kanya-kanya, you know, and I can see [there’s] not much people which is good in my case. I don’t like too many people or the place to be very crowded. And I’ve been with coach Jorge since day one and as I said, I started [last] January 8 (2024) and today is already July 12 (2024) and I lost almost 15 pounds already. But my objective is not really to lose eh, yes, losing weight is one of them but my primary goal is to make me fit, make me stronger because I know that more you age the more you need to exercise, see and that’s what I’m doing and so far so good and I plan to stay here. I don’t know until when, but so far I’m enjoying it [and] that’s the most important, I’m enjoying it.
OSM: How would you define being strong for life?
Mr. Philip: As I said, being a senior citizen, I have too much or too many sickness or I’ve been taking a lot of medicines already, but because of this routine of mine that I go to the gym, three times a week, minimum. I can say that my doctors are very happy. I will be doing my blood chemistry test soon and I know there are going to be improvements in my blood works. I am also a diabetic person and that is the reason why I enrolled in this gym because I wanted to put my [blood] sugar lower, and I promised myself that the more I age, the more I will be hitting the gym and doing more physical exercises.
