A Glasgow personal trainer has credited his GP's gym scheme referral as being the catalyst for his life-saving weight loss.
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.
The fitness fanatic is now set to get married in three weeks to the love of his life Shannah Lennox, 28, after his impressive 10st weight loss gave him the confidence to start dating. Tom now believes that the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde referral saved his life and he now works as a personal trainer in very gym he was referred to, reports the Daily Record.
