Julie Wong is 70 years old and she lifts weights three times a week. The grandmother of three can squat 45kg comfortably. She can go heavier with just a little more effort.

Wong may be the oldest in her strength and conditioning classes at Revelation Republic, a gym in Petaling Jaya, but she is often the benchmark not because of her age but the grit and determination she displays in completing the WODs (Workouts Of the Day).
