Do you want to become Shropshire's biggest loser? | shropshirelive ...


Gareth Connell and Maz Bedson, who run Purity Health and Fitness in Wellington, were consultant personal trainers behind the Sky 1 TV series Fat Families in 2010 and helped 33-stone Tarnya Cuff (DEL CORR) reach the top of the Wrekin.

Now the pair would like to change someone else?s life and have launched a search for the perfect candidate.

The person who is the most determined and dedicated to change will win two weekly personal training sessions in their private studio at Wrekin Professional Centre, plus a weekly 45-minute sports massage in the therapy room and on-going client support throughout their journey.

Gareth met Maz when she searched for a personal trainer in 2007 after gaining a considerable amount of weight while recovering after breaking her leg in 2005.

She said her life changing moment came when she chose to look for a personal trainer instead of enjoying a ?gin and tonic? while suffering from post-holiday blues.

Maz shed five stone through Gareth?s training and joined him as a professionally qualified personal trainer and together they set up a private fitness studio on Holyhead Road.

?We have developed a niche here for people who are in a difficult place. Whether they are overweight and have reached that dark place, or have had surgery and are finding recovery difficult or have had an injury which has left them depressed.

?Clients who come to us would certainly not have the confidence to go to a normal gym and work out in front of others or may not have ever done any form of serious exercise before in their life,? Maz said.

?We hope we can give someone the opportunity to access our services by launching this competition.

?I?ve got one man who was a self-confessed couch potato and he has lost 60lb. He couldn?t walk on the treadmill for five minutes and is now running a nine minute mile and walking up the Wrekin on a regular basis but the most important thing is he is enjoying it.?

Gareth said their clients included people with diabetes, arthritis and people undergoing stroke rehabilitation.

The two personal trainers often team up with neighbouring health professionals in the centre including a physio and osteopath, along with their client?s GP.

The winning candidate could be recovering from an injury or an illness and or just want to lose weight and get fit. They should also be willing for us to share their ongoing journey.
