A personal trainer who went through “hell” with drug and alcohol issues has explained how exercise turned his life around.
Mike Wiseman, a 31 year-old PT from Fazakerley, runs Trainwise at Sweatbox Gym in Bootle. Mike said that working on strength and conditioning gave him focus and vastly improved his mental health.
Mike said: “I was a little s*** at school, then became a terrible joiner. I got mixed up with drugs and alcohol. I was up for doing anything to escape from reality. That period of my life, between 15 to 20 years old, was hell and it still haunts me and I'd never want to relive that again. However, I know I’ve been able to learn from those mistakes."
