A 65-year-old grandma, personal coach, and fitness guru, Lesley Maxwell, is taking the internet by storm with her appearance, a testimony to her healthy lifestyle. The health and fitness enthusiast says with proof that “age is just a number” as she showed off her bikini body occasionally. In one of her posts, Lesley posed with her granddaughter as they each held a dumbbell. She informed med fans via the caption that they both “share a love for health, fitness, and apparel.”
In no time, her followers flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts, particularly about Leslie’s resemblance to the pretty young lady. “Who is one, and who is the other?” someone asked. “Gorgeous! Very inspiring to your beautiful granddaughter,” another added, with more agreeing that Lesley was setting a good precedent for her generation.

In the snap from last September, Lesley wore a pink patterned two-piece gym set and let her blonde hair down in a side part, while Tia went for a white sports bra and light pink leggings. The 22-year-old wore makeup and kept most of her hair in a ponytail. “Both of you are amazing and perfect,” a fan commented. Another compared both ladies, saying Lesley has a “stronger body and better shape” than Tia. “Such an excellent inspiration to grow in a positive environment for the granddaughter,” someone else added.

Although she is consistent, Lesley has days when she prefers to rest, as she revealed last month alongside a shot in her bra. “Today’s mood! I just felt like lounging around this morning. However, I’ve definitely made up for it this afternoon! Do you ever have days like this?” she asked, to which a cocky fan responded, “Well, all have days like this every once in a while. It would only be more amazing spending it with you.”
Three generations of fitness
Lesley loves working out at the gym with her daughter Vanessa Christofi and grandkid Tia. She is “passionate about helping people to be healthier, happier, and feel young and sexy at any age.” She credits intense physical activity as the secret to her youthful looks, leaving people shocked at her age. She does photoshoots with her daughter and granddaughter, and fans do not hesitate to gush about their similarities despite the considerable age gap. “People are always surprised to learn that we are actually three totally different generations of a family. However, we always have a wonderful time together—chatting, having a laugh, and training. I’m so b essed to have such a lovely family,” the exercise advocate gushed.
The Melbourne-based trainer also admitted to swapping clothes with Vanessa and Tia since they shared almost the same clothing size. “I’m also very lucky that I get to share clothes with my daughter and granddaughter,” Lesley gushed. “When we do shoots together, most of the clothes come from Tia’s wardrobe. She loves color-coordinating us.” Meanwhile, Tia shared her experience as the youngest of the fit trio, saying she often has to correct people that Lesley is not her mom. “They’re taken aback when I tell them she is my grandmother,” she recalled.

The fitness enthusiast confirmed Tia’s experience, revealing that her fans also find it hard to believe she is a grandma. “They’re shocked to find out that I have grandchildren because I guess it is a little out of the ordinary to think that a grandmother is doing deadlifts and chin-ups in the gym,” she said, advising “women of all ages” to embrace weight training. “There are so many health benefits to training this way. It strengthens our bones and helps us tone our body by adding muscle,” she explained. “I’d love to see more women of all ages lifting weights. It’s the anti-aging way to train.” Lesley also shared her routine, which involves “four weight-training sessions a week” and some add-ons during training sessions. “As I’m a trainer and in the gym most days, you could say that I get some incidental exercise as I’m often carrying the weights or ’spotting’ my clients,” she shared.
After separating from her husband, Lesley found solace in the gym in her late 40s and has since remained consistent. Her diligence has also paid off, as she has been named world champion and has been in over 30 figure competitions so far. Through her shared interest in intense physical activity, Lesley, her daughter, and her granddaughter have grown closer and constantly churn out content that inspires others.

One of Tia’s videos featuring Lesley became popular on TikTok, reaching people beyond her half a million followers. “I film my grandmother and I working out, and people love to see it. She’s 43 years my senior, and we both lift weights and follow the same workout routine while dressed in similar apparel,” she explained. “It was a video that went viral.” Aside from gym session clips, Tia also gives a peek into their adorable grandma-granddaughter bond with fit hauls and random shots.
