FITNESS-MAD pensioner Keith Denyer is still showing the youngsters the way ...at the age of 70.
Keith has just turned 70, but still runs fitness classes three times a week.
Originally from London, Keith now lives in Hockley and works with his daughter, Julie Wheeler, teaching classes for the Guaranteed Results Boot Camp.
Keith started as a fitness instructor at Pitsea Leisure after being made redundant 20 years ago.
After retiring, he found he couldn’t keep away from the active lifestyle he was used to, so went straight into leading classes with his daughter.
Julie, 43, said: “People are in awe of him.
“I kicked him off Facebook a few days ago, so I could collate birthday wishes for him and all the comments were so nice and positive, saying how inspiring he was.
“I don’t know any other 70- year-olds that can do what he does, teaching our Insanity classes and covering for my skipping class when I’m busy elsewhere.
“He says if he stopped, that would be the end of him, but there’s no sign of it yet”
