Angus & Graham do a road trip to Lancashire to interview Ken Heathcote, often hailed as the “Father of the Fitness Industry” in the UK.
Ken revolutionized health and wellness by founding Bolton Health Studio in 1968—the nation’s first multi-purpose fitness club. He also co-founded the Fitness Industry Association and developed the first national weight training course. A respected figure in bodybuilding, Heathcote served as a judge for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Britain contests for over 20 years. Perhaps most impressively, at the age of 90, he is now undertaking the “Not Out at 90” charity challenge, swimming 90 lengths in both a pool and open water to raise funds for Stroke Awareness, Cancer Research, and Alzheimer’s Research.
