Leon’s Journey

Leon, a 24-year-old from Methil, Fife, has become an inspiring figure at Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre. He enjoys swimming, walking, and football. However, this wasn’t always the case! Leon’s life took a significant turn nearly two years ago when he embarked on a transformative fitness journey.

John’s Journey

John joined Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre a few years ago to improve his fitness and mental health. Although he initially felt anxious about starting, he overcame his nerves with help from the staff and now participates in multiple classes every week. Currently, he is training for a boxing event in March 2025 by attending BoxFit classes at both Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre and Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre.

Lynn’s Journey

Lynn’s journey began when she took up swimming with the support of the staff at Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre. Through her hard work and perseverance, she has achieved an incredible weight loss transformation, shedding 25 stone and 2 pounds. Lynn inspires both the staff and customers at Levenmouth and has become a beloved part of the venue.

Jim’s Journey

Jim’s story at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre began nearly six years ago when his wife encouraged him to become a member. She knew staying active was important to him, especially as he transitioned into retirement.

Edward’s Journey

Former member of the Royal Air Force (RAF), Edward Pennycook is a regular at Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre, where he’s become a familiar face over the past 17 years. At 95 years old, his commitment to fitness is as strong as ever, showing that it’s never too late to start living an active life.

John’s Journey

John is a dedicated runner and a long-time member at Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre. For over 10 years, he has combined strength training with his running routine to prevent injuries and enhance performance.

His commitment to fitness has led to significant success in Masters Athletics, where he has won multiple national and international titles, including gold medals at the European Championships.

Kaye and Graham’s Journey

After retiring, Kaye joined classes at Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre to stay active and meet new people. She quickly discovered a warm, welcoming community and formed lasting friendships. More recently, she persuaded her husband, Graham, to come along. Now, they both enjoy staying fit together and catching up with familiar faces. They credit the supportive staff, the variety of classes, and especially instructor Debbie Young for helping them stay motivated and recover from knee and hip replacements.

Dave’s Journey

After the loss of his wife, Dave was referred to our Health & Wellbeing programme at Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre. Staying active has always been important to him — and through regular visits and trying new classes, he’s regained strength, mobility, and a renewed sense of purpose.

These days, you’ll find him at Pickleball — not just playing, but helping lead sessions and encouraging friends to join too. Dave says it’s the support from staff and the friendships he’s built that have truly kept him going. He even has Christmas lunch with some of the group.

Dawn’s Journey

When Dawn first came to Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre, she was using mobility aids and struggling with her health. But with a gentle nudge from her husband and friends, she took that first step and everything changed. She started with swimming, then added Aqua Aerobics to her weekly routine. Now, she’s at the centre Monday to Friday, taking part in a range of activities that have become a huge part of her life.

Dawn has lost nearly 6 stone and is back doing the things she loves — like working in her garden and riding her horses.

She encourages anyone managing an illness or condition to come along for a swim or try Aqua Aerobics. It’s the best thing she’s ever done for herself — and it all began with that first step.

Tom’s Journey

Tom set himself the challenge of walking the perimeter of Fife to raise awareness and money for local charity Fife Boomerang.
