    Weaverville, NC (WLOS) — At Work Out Anytime in Weaverville, it’s not uncommon to see men and women of all ages lifting weights and doing cardio throughout the day.

But lately, the gym has acquired a new member who is not their typical customer.

“How old am I? I’m 39 years, 662 months,” Margaret Morrow said with a smile.

Morrow is 94 years old, but that doesn’t stop her from driving herself to the gym and getting her sweat on almost every day.

“I think 20 minutes is the most I’ve done,” Morrow said. “I’m not old. I don’t feel old.”

And even though she can walk the treadmill on the second lowest setting, she proves that any effort can lead to results.

“I lost six (pounds) the last time and another pound this week,” she said.
