Episode 12 - Jonathan Clark - Friend & Personal Trainer

Today I speak with my friend Jonathan Clark from Form & Function Fitness. I have known Jonathan for a long time however as he is based in Inverness we rarely get to see each other and we met through a love of getting drunk back in the day! Jonathan used to be obese and went through a phenominal transformation of over 11 stone and is now a personal trainer himself helping other whilst holding down a full time job and a family! We talk about his transformation, his business, nutrition and training. A great listen for anyone thinking about starting a weight loss journey. There was a problem with my mic on this one so apologies that I am a little quieter than Jonathan. Thanks as always for listening !
