Terry Robson (Class of 1960) was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by Everybodies Gyms. Terry has been a loyal member of Everybody's Health and Leisure for 20 years. He says:

 ‘The downside of winning a lifetime achievement is they recognise what an oldie I am , and really wont ever get another award, there's only one Lifetime so therefore only one Lifetime Achievement Award, but I was absolutely thrilled to receive it.’

Terry has completed 117 races in his lifetime. When a back injury forced him to switch to cycling with Everybody’s, he refused to slow down. He has since conquered Land’s End to John o' Groats four times, most recently at age 81, with a fifth trip planned for 85. His global cycling adventures include 1,000 miles from Normandy to Nice, tracking the Rhine from the Netherlands to Venice, and a solo 1,600km ride along Australia’s River Murray. Terry’s endurance extends to the water, too; he swam two million metres at Poynton Leisure Centre by swimming a mile every day for nearly five years. Off the bike, he has spent 51 years supporting his community as a Macclesfield Rugby Club player, referee, press official, and gatekeeper.

Throughout the last year, Terry has been living with lymphoma, undergoing both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Undeterred, he is currently training for a 1,000-mile ride from Munich to Rome in October, alongside planning another tour of South Australia’s Riverland region.

He is an inspiration for people of all ages to take on new challenges and refuse to let obstacles hold them back. He says:

"Give things a go. It's always easier if you go with another person initially so get to find someone who could help introduce you to a new activity and get in there.  My view is if you're  not sure no one will come knocking on your door and ask you to become involved, each person has to make the first move themselves.”
