\u201cMany others would be groaning under the weight at 50 or 60,\u201d says trainer and gym owner Marc Baldow with a laugh, as he watches his oldest member diligently go through his workout routine.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cincredible\u201d in the local paper.<\/p>\n
