Cheslyn Hay Member Success
Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centre are delighted that one of their regular members, John Cox after months of exercising and eating healthily has managed to completely transform his life by losing 9 stone!
‘I was that big, I could steer the bus with my belly’: Driver John ditches the pizza to lose nine stone. It wasn’t vanity that drove 22 stone John Cox to swap slap-up meals for salads – it was his snoring. John Cox began to lose weight and is now at a fit and healthy 13 stone, total weight loss of over 8 stone !!
As well as his life changing diet, Josh is a regular user of the gym at Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centre.
It is great that Cheslyn Hay are able to share John’s story in hope that his journey will help to prove that change is possible and encourage other people to get fit and be healthy.
