We had the pleasure of having Keith over for a couple of days. It’s always nice to know that we can have a positive impact with someone, even in a very short period of time. Especially when someone is disciplined, dedicated...and a rocker at heart to boot. We asked Keith if he had enjoyed his time at The Forge. Here is what he said. ======================================= "2 ROUNDS AT THE FORGE" What does one do with a 3 day break in Gozo and missed workouts to catch up with? You … [Read more...] about WORKING OUT WITH THE IRONCUTTER
WOULD YOU PAY TO BE CHEATED? (YOU ALREADY ARE…)
After almost 27 years in the industry, I keep on seeing horrifying mistakes being done over and over again by people who “workout”. (You see, "working out" has a LOT of different meanings, depending on who you ask...and unfortunately, most definitions are plain WRONG...) We constantly get clients in at The BodyForge who have been going to other gyms for years, both locally and abroad, yet they don't have even the basic movements figured out correctly. For the very … [Read more...] about WOULD YOU PAY TO BE CHEATED? (YOU ALREADY ARE…)
GOODBYE AZURE WINDOW
I never thought it would happen in my lifetime…but it did. The Azure Window is no more. And with it, the little bay of Dwejra – indeed, Gozo’s coastline – will never be the same again.

I have fond memories of … [Read more...] about GOODBYE AZURE WINDOW
SHARPSHOOTER
When Keith popped in at The BodyForge, I started talking as I always seem to do. I talked about nutrition and training and motivation and life. Yes, I am incredibly passionate about it. It's who I am. And Keith listened. And listened deeply. I never really notice it as this is a normal day for me but I am so blessed to be able to give such a gift to people simply by talking to them. And to be able to inspire someone who inspires others is just as good as it gets. It’s a pleasure … [Read more...] about SHARPSHOOTER
HOW TO BUILD A SUPERMUM
One day, Michael, one of my long term Re-Inventees, brought his mum Carmen along with him to The Forge. “Don, I want you to help my Mum out. She needs to become fit again. I’m worried about her. Book her up on Re-Invention – no question!” When people of a certain age come to me to take up a fitness lifestyle, I am always impressed and humbled. We are talking about someone going completely against the grain here. This is Gozo. Older people are not supposed to work out. That’s the … [Read more...] about HOW TO BUILD A SUPERMUM
