Husband and wife Mark and Sarah Smith were stuck in a rut with their lifestyle and their relationship - and tucking in to takeaways and bottles of wine almost every night had seen them pile on the pounds. But when Mark, 39, had a health scare with his heart, it became the wake up call that the Salford couple both needed to change their unhealthy habits.
After seeing Instagram videos of celebrities working out with the 'tough' trainers at Manchester's Ultimate Performance gym, Sarah decided to take the plunge and contact the gym. Both Mark and Sarah decided to sign up for UP's total body transformation programme in October last year, determined to change their unhealthy ways.
It was exactly the kick the couple needed. Mark has gone on to lose four stone and turned his 'beer belly' into a rippling six pack.
