We're back in the North East this week for our 100th episode, chatting to Bob Glass - Sunderland Aquatic Centre member, Ibiza Wellness Retreat competition winner and regular gym-goer - who's here to tell us all about how activity has changed his life. He tells us how he thought winning the competition was a 'scam', that going to the gym pretty much every day does him the world of good and that yoga and Pilates could well have saved him from needing a knee replacement. For all this, and more listen in to this episode of The Everyone Active Podcast.
