Tom O'Brien weighed in at 24 stone when his GP referred him for an NHS gym membership scheme, which led to him losing 10 stone - an ultimately life-saving change as he was diagnosed with a fatty liver at the age of 24.
A Glasgow personal trainer has credited his GP's gym scheme referral as being the catalyst for his life-saving weight loss.
“My parents always told me to listen to doctors because they’ve always helped me with my Asperger’s. My GP referred me to Glasgow Club to help me lose weight and eventually I managed to lose 10 stone.“You get a concession so it’s much cheaper to go to the gym and swimming which was a big bonus for me. I started with the gym and then did swimming too because I really enjoyed it as a child.
“A four pack of doughnuts from the supermarket was my guilty pleasure and a two litre bottle of full fat Irn Bru. Then I’d have a takeaway and stuff like that.
