Gym Rat Profile - BUDDY BOYD

From: Mt. Pleasant/Providence

Routine: “At 84 years old, I don’t really spend much time lifting weights anymore. But I’m at the gym every day by 5 a.m. to open up the place. I usually walk for about an hour every day. I also still go out dancing… I miss the good old days at “Rhodes” where they used to have dancing. I would get a gang of about 35 friends together every weekend to go dancing years ago… miss those days! Now I like to spend my time chasing women to stay in shape!”

Favorite Splurge: “A good piece of steak!”

His best fitness tip: Exercise and eat everything in moderation.

Who he thinks is a “10”: Raquel Welch

Where to find Buddy: Buddy’s pretty much a fixture at World Gym on Branch Ave., in Providence. You’ll find Buddy behind the counter running the juice bar from 5 a.m. til about 11 am or noon each day.
