Leyion - Met in Northampton


He stepped out of a building in front of me and I immediately noticed his strong calf muscles. Thinking about the upcoming Olympics I admired his easy, yet determined walk. After passing him I hesitated and went back.



Leyion had just finished working out in the gym something he plans to continue for the next eight years at least – until he’s 60. Yes, that’s right, this young looking man is over 50 (in fact, he’s the same age as me).

Leyion was raised in Northampton but left after gaining his qualifications to find work in the West Country and on the south coast. He is using his return to the county well, he hailed and talked to many people as we ambled along the road together. His strong, yet easy, manner extends to his character as well as his physique.


I think Leyion will be working out for a good few more years to come, at this rate he’ll be doing gym sessions until he’s at least 90.
