Fans of the hit BBC game show Gladiators are in for a treat this summer, as a familiar face from the arena is set to appear at the next Longevity Games. Joe — a standout competitor who powered through The Eliminator and reached the semi-finals — will be joining participants at the Moredon Sporting Hub on Sunday, 20th July 2025.

Joe’s story captured hearts on national television, but it’s what lies behind his success that truly resonates. Unlike many athletes, Joe only began his fitness journey later in life. At one point, even running down the road was a challenge. But through dedication, perseverance, and belief in himself, he transformed his health and fitness, eventually earning a place on one of the UK’s most demanding physical competitions.

“Joe’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to take control of your health and push beyond your limits,” said Tim Howe, founder of The Longevity Games. “He embodies everything we stand for — resilience, growth, and the courage to start.”

The Longevity Games is a unique community fitness event designed to inspire everyday people to improve their health-span and embrace a life without limits. With challenges tailored for all fitness levels — from Novice to Proficient — it’s a welcoming and empowering experience for all ages and abilities.

Participants will not only get the chance to take part in the event alongside Joe but also meet him in person and hear more about his inspiring journey.
