David Scott, a 95-year-old World War II and Korean War veteran, regularly works out at Planet Fitness in Dover, New Hampshire. He’s been dedicated to fitness from a young age, playing football in high school, wrestling in college, and he continued to prioritize fitness during his time in the Army. His commitment to staying fit has been a fixture in his life and now it’s proving to be an inspiration to his fellow gym goers as he visits the gym several times a week.
While at Harvard, Scott decided to pursue skiing instead of an office job, leading him to Italy where he skied the Alps and met his future wife, Lydia. He documented their 62-year relationship in his book, "My 20 years in Italy: How Opera and Skiing Changed My Life."
The manager at his gym, Monique Jalbert, describes Scott as “a true inspiration” and says she admires him for his story and his loving spirit. His remarkable life serves as motivation for the people he meets and despite his age, he’s still having a big impact both inside and outside of the gym.
