MILAN

Milan (pictured right) is an electrician and Anytime Fitness member who found strength, purpose and community at his local gym.

He survived a suicide attempt in 2024. During his recovery, he made a promise to himself, his family and friends to actively seek support and transform his trauma. 

He emphasises that simple acts like asking "are you OK?" and ongoing check-ins can save lives, highlighting that everyone may be struggling beneath the surface.​

He found connection at Anytime Fitness by greeting others, engaging in conversations, and building a supportive network that helped combat isolation. He’s sharing his story to encourage others to join the Lift the Weight challenge and promote connection and conversation in everyday moments.
