Read Wayne Segedie’s inspiring story of active aging and his lifelong love for exercise, proving that fitness has no age limit, even at 76! 
“I’ve been married to my incredible wife, Lorraine Segedie, for 21 years. She’s also a proud member of the Castle Rock Shred415 community. Together, we share our home with two Chihuahuas, Bandit and Gabriel, who keep us on our toes.
My fitness journey began at age four when I first laced up my ice skates. By the time I was 12, I was winning speed skating races and collecting trophies and medals. Alongside skating, I stayed active playing softball, basketball, and volleyball.
In the mid-1980s, I took up serious cycling, which quickly became a passion. By the 1990s, I was tackling century and double-century rides. I even competed in a 12-hour challenge, where I earned a medal, and a 24-hour challenge, completing 355 miles—missing another medal by just six miles. My adventures took me on week-long bicycle tours through the breathtaking Colorado mountains, where I met Lorraine. After she moved to Chicago to join me, her first question was, ‘Where’s the gym?’
That question marked the beginning of my gym fitness journey. While I was cycling 6,000 to 8,000 miles a year, I started incorporating gym workouts and, later, workout videos at home. Staying active became a lifelong habit.
A few years ago, I discovered Shred415, and it quickly became my favorite workout. Every class brings me joy, and the sense of community here is truly special—it feels like family. The instructors are phenomenal, and I appreciate every one of them. Even the front desk staff make each visit a delight.
At 76 years old, I know I can’t lift as much as I used to, and I have some restrictions with my shoulders and knees. But I continue to do what I can, and I’m proud to keep showing up. My hope is to inspire others to never give up. Fitness is a journey you can embrace at any age.
Thank you, Shred415, for being such an incredible community and an inspiration to all of us.”
Thank you, Wayne, for choosing Shred415 as the place where you and Lorraine can continue your love for fitness!
