Rudolf Goetz effortlessly moves the weights up and down on the ab machine.
Pushing 40kg (88lb) weights on the leg press are not a problem for the 100-year-old, either.

Rudolf Goetz effortlessly moves the weights up and down on the ab machine.
Pushing 40kg (88lb) weights on the leg press are not a problem for the 100-year-old, either.
“Many others would be groaning under the weight at 50 or 60,” says trainer and gym owner Marc Baldow with a laugh, as he watches his oldest member diligently go through his workout routine.
Goetz trains twice a week at the gym in Fuerstenwalde, a small town east of Berlin in Germany, without making any fuss, despite his story having been lauded as “incredible” in the local paper.
Rudi, as he is affectionately known, does not even change into gym clothes. He gets right into it, whether he is wearing a pullover or dress shirt, working out for about an hour.
It is easy to assume that Goetz must be a former professional athlete or at least a gym teacher. In fact, he is a retired pastor who only began working out nine years ago after spotting one of the gym’s fliers.
