Growing up poor in Jamaica, Javeno McLean didn’t have a lot of money. He learned early in life that the greatest gift you can give another person is your time and talents. It’s a lesson he still lives by.

The 37-year-old father-of-two from Manchester, England used to be a player. About 15 years ago, he realized he enjoyed helping other people hit their fitness goals more than being a sports player himself. He dreamed of opening a gym where he could help others. Five years ago, he made his dream come true — and he’s been helping the elderly and disabled keep fit ever since.

There’s one more special thing about Javeno’s gym that makes it stand out from the rest: He doesn’t ask anyone with physical or mental(心理上的) problems for money. “I wanted this to be a gym where people could exercise and find something that works for them,” Javeno said. “I hated the way gyms made people feel — that’s why I called my place a health centre. I wanted to redefine(重新定义) exercise. People feel insecure in gyms. I’m a gym guy, but if I feel uncomfortable by people watching in the gym, what’s that going to be like for somebody who’s ill, disabled, or elderly? It’s going to make them feel even worse. I wanted to change how people experience exercise.”

When Javeno tells people with physical or mental problems his services are free, their reactions(反应) only encourage him to help more people!
