First time in the gym at 60+, despite chronic kidney disease

For most people over 45, especially those with chronic kidney disease and on dialysis, maintaining body function and muscle mass is a challenge. Strength training is the primary tool for this. It has been proven that with proper technique and adequate intensity, it has an extremely beneficial effect on the body and its longevity.
At the same time, the support and supervision of a trainer who understands your needs is crucial.
Have you ever seen people over 60 in the gym? Honestly, it's rare. In our video, a woman of exactly this age is exercising for the first time on modern, professional-grade strength training equipment, under the off-camera guidance of a trainer—a hemodialysis patient who regularly and actively trains in the gym.
Galina Goretskaya, 64, is not only the director of the "Transplant Sport 2.0" project but also a physically active person, regularly walking a lot and participating in RUTS races in various cities across Russia. I was on peritoneal dialysis for five years, and it's now been 13 years since my kidney transplant (September 2011). I've had 40 years of total experience since my diagnosis of CKD.
Modern gyms and exercise machines allow for isolated or combined exercise of the target muscles, and tailoring the load to suit my fitness level and capabilities. This safely produces tangible positive results in the form of stronger bones and joints, stronger muscles, and increased muscle size and function, even in CKD patients of various stages and ages.
