He cycles to work, swims at the St Clair Salt Water Pool and competes in tennis, football, open water swimming, the triathlon and 10km run.
For the last 25 years he has played a major role in keeping the vision of the New Zealand Masters Games alive.
Last year he had a major coup by securing the Games' future in Dunedin for the next 20 years.
It was fitting he should be given the New Zealand Masters Games Life Award at the opening ceremony on Saturday night.
The Games makes a big impact on Dunedin, with half of the competitors coming from outside the city. It adds around $5 million to the city's economy each time it is held.
''The award is wonderful and I'm really honoured to receive it,'' Bezett (71) said.
''I've never looked on the Masters Games as being a chore or an impediment to my daily life.
''It's been a pleasure to be involved with it because I'm active in sport myself and enjoy the company of people who have a similar lifestyle.''
As chairman of the New Zealand Masters Games Trust, Bezett has played a crucial role in ensuring the survival of the Games in tough economic times.
''The role mixes with my council activities because I'm getting out and meeting people,'' Bezett said.''
Bezett acknowledged the help he had received from many people over the last 25 years.
''One person can't do it on their own,'' he said.
Bezett has witnessed the change that participation in the Masters Games has made on people's lives.
Overweight people had had their health and fitness restored by training for the Games. The physical activity had helped people overcome depression.
''It's more than just competing,'' he said.
''The Masters Games gets people training and inspires extra physical activity.''
There are 5258 people competing in this week's Masters Games in Dunedin.
Probably the major highlight for Bezett is the change in the public's perception of health and fitness.
Bezett is grateful to sponsors of the Games.
''Quite frankly, if we didn't have sponsors we wouldn't have the games. We get very little funding from central government.''
On visits to Masters Games across the Tasman, Bezett has found they get funding from the Australian federal and state governments.
''Funding means that you can employ the appropriate number of staff to work with the sports co-ordinators,'' he said.
''We need sports co-ordinators working in Christchurch and Auckland to help us get our numbers up.''
Bezett praised the support of the Southern Trust that had backed the Masters Games for several years and this year became the naming rights sponsor.
He said it was a good way for the Trust to put money back into the community.
Bezett highlighted the strong relationship that has developed between Wanganui and Dunedin, the cities that host the Masters Games on alternate years.
