Summary
At 60, Paul Contorno, Sr., a former Parkinson’s patient turned bodybuilding competitor, proves that age and diagnosis don’t have to slow you down—especially when you’ve got a gym in your corner. After a 2010 diagnosis, he doubled down on workouts, not cut back. Now, he’s training at 24e Health Clubs in Pelham, where he’s also a certified trainer and coach. His journey—from divorce to remarriage, to becoming a fitness leader—shows how consistency and community can rebuild your life. He says the biggest hurdle? Just showing up. Start with a group class or a few months of personal training, and let the routine do the rest. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
