Many people have wondered and I often get asked what is the symbolic meaning and intended message behind the FitGreyStrong logo?
In the picture displayed, I have deconstructed various aspects of the FGS logo and the messages behind the image that I hope to convey. Here I have tried to embody the notions of a healthy ageing body sitting atop a stack of weights where science has demonstrated repeatedly the ability of resistance training to delay the loss of muscle mass whilst simultaneously maintaining muscle strength, power and physical function. “Grey”, a signature sign of ageing is coupled together with the words Fit and Strong, both virtuous characteristics of ageing well, to bring context and meaning to the image. In deep contemplation and thought, a process of intellectualisation and careful consideration of how best to prescribe exercise, is at the forefront of FitGreyStrong.
The objective: To educate, supervise, train, support, advise, and facilitate older adults gaining some degree of control over their future health, wellbeing and quality of life.
