There is no doubt that the Maxwell family has outstanding genes.

Bodybuilder Lesley Maxwell is 65 years old, but people frequently mistake her for someone much younger due to her youthful appearance.

Frequently, she, her daughter, and her granddaughter are mistaken for sisters because of how similar they all appear.

Lesley's age is difficult to figure out when compared to Vanessa Christofi and Tia Christofi.

"[People are] 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.

The 65-year-old believes lifting weights is a fantastic way to stay young.

"I'd recommend weight training to women of all ages as there are so many health benefits to training this way," she said.

"It strengthens our bones and helps us tone our body by adding muscle. I’d love to see more women of all ages lifting weights.”

"It’s the anti-aging way to train.”

"I usually do four weight training sessions a week, plus 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.”

"I also do some exercise demonstrations, so I guess that also helps."

The trio claims they frequently receive looks when working out at the same gym together.

"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," she said.

"I’m so blessed to have such a lovely family.”

"I'm also very lucky that I get to share clothes with my daughter and granddaughter. When we do shoots together, most of the clothes come from Tia's wardrobe.”

"She loves doing the styling and color coordinating us."

Tia, 22, claims that her grandmother can keep up with their demanding workouts with ease and that they all "inspire and motivate each other."

"They're taken back when I correct them and tell them she is my grandmother," she said.

"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."
