Roger Sanchez trains like an athlete before his shows.
The veteran DJ plans to continue performing as long as he can and has been taking ideas from professional athletes on how to stay in shape.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “I’ve been thinking about the hyperbaric chambers that footballers go in and I’m going to start getting more into cold water plunges. But I train. I go to the gym. I do take care of myself. I do biohacking too.
“I will have biohacked it to the point where I can jump up and down on stage for years to come.
“I’m trying to avoid wheelchairs at all costs.
“I never gave thought to the expiration date. I enjoy the mental gymnastics of trying to think five tracks ahead and reading the dance floor.
“I’ve never really viewed this as a job. I viewed this as a passion, and I’m fortunate enough that they pay me to do so.
“That being said, I’ve never said, ‘I’ll keep doing this until I’m 100.’ ”
And, Roger, 58, revealed people are often surprised when they hear his age.
He said: “People always ask, ‘Who’s your plastic surgeon?’ I’m like, ‘God, I’ve never had any work done.’ My wife keeps me on my toes. She is my inspiration.”
Roger’s wife Kristen Knight is also a DJ and they love working together, although Roger admitted he can be a “turntable hog”.
He said: “I’ve been around for quite some time, which allows me to open some doors, but equally I am happy to step back when it’s time for her to take the position. When she’s playing, I try to make sure that I’m supportive and she makes sure she’s supportive of me.
“I tend to be a ‘turntable hog’, as she likes to call it. I try to step back and not be as greedy with the decks as I can be.”
