Alex and Geoff from last Tuesday’s Fit to Fat to Fit episode are our guests on today’s show. Bloodwork was an integral part of the episode and Geoff says his levels scared him into wanting to clean up his body. Both Alex and Geoff, felt the challenges on a physical as well as an emotion level. Their transformations were captured for us to share and learn from. Geoff has since kept the weight off for 5 months, which is exceptional. The beach scene is where it all started and has left a scar on both trainer and client.
Catch the next Fit to Fat to Fit on A&E next Tuesday at 10 pm.
