He agreed, but before he could begin, Windy Hill requested a standard physical assessment. That routine medical checkup revealed an unexpected prostate cancer diagnosis. By a stroke of pure luck, the simple decision to join the gym caught the cancer early and ultimately saved his life.</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="b6e3068a-f6e2-4a3f-827e-ed939f1f740c"><h4>A Lifelong Habit</h4></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="c3bb3d91-5f3a-4b36-a9a1-cd7832198d03"><p>Today, exercise is simply a seamlessly integrated part of Garry’s everyday life.
