Wellness+ Changed My Life at 58: Maree's Recovery Journey

At Speediance, we’ve heard countless stories, but few have touched us like Maree McK’s. It’s a story that reminds us: Great fitness equipment stands with you through every rep, every day—revealing a stronger, more capable you.

Today, meet Maree—a former amateur masters boxer, and a woman who refused to let life’s setbacks define her. Her words are raw, honest, and full of the kind of strength that comes from choosing to fight, even when the odds seem stacked against you.

The story of my journey with my Speediance GM2 so far goes like this….

I recently turned 58. 2 years ago, I suffered a shoulder injury at work that required surgery and a lot of rehabilitation. 
Prior to my shoulder injury, I was an amateur masters boxer. Following on 15 months from the injury, I had surgery to try and repair the shoulder. Didn’t go as well as I was hoping and I had to give up boxing and my beloved motorcycle.

I found that traditional physio wasn’t helping with my rehabilitation and with not being able to box anymore I needed something to do to keep fit and try to lose the weight I had gained from becoming more inactive. 

I saw an ad on Facebook for the GM2. Went for a demo after thinking about it for a few months ( the cost was putting me off), but I decided to go ahead.
I predominantly use the wellness+ workouts. I’ve found them to be great. I advised the AI coach about issues I was having with some of the program, and it was adjusted, it was much better afterwards.

I’m currently doing the 12-week strength-building program. I enjoy it so much I even do the sessions after a 14-hour busy work day. I am much more motivated than I was when doing gym sessions for my rehab.  I have noticed a marked improvement in both strength and range of motion with my shoulder. There are still a few things I can’t do, but that will come with time. I love the food logging aspect as well. It helps motivate you to stay on track with your diet as well. So far I have lost just over 11kg since buying it. Recently added a body fat scale to my setup to also help track progress.

I enjoy it so much that I recommend it to everyone I talk to about it. So far 2 people I know have bought one based on my recommendation.  Overall, I feel it is a fantastic bit of kit and worth every cent I paid for it.

Can’t provide photos of myself due to the industry I work in. But here is my current setup. Looking at adding the  rower in the future, just to add more variety.
