ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – A new Guinness World Record has been achieved right here in Rochester, Minnesota, for someone who prioritizes health, no matter his age.
On Fred Woolman’s 84th birthday, an adjudicator for the Guinness World Records was on hand to award him the title of ‘Oldest Active Personal Trainer – Male.’
Woolman has been teaching fitness for almost 20 years, which comes after a 35-year career of computer programming and managing.
125 Live, where Woolman now works, put on a big celebration for today’s honor.
“When I started doing fitness almost 20 years ago,” Woolman said at the gathering, “I never imagined something like this happening. It’s just a nice thing to happen, you know, the recognition when you’re older. I appreciate it.”
“Health is wealth,” is Woolman’s message to others who may wonder if they’re too old to start a fitness regimen.
