from Built For More · host Simon Johnson

He was on the living room floor playing with his six-year-old son.When he tried to get up, he could not do it easily. A former rugby player. A national-level rugby coach. A man who had always been active his whole life. And in that moment he thought this is not right.Guy Gibson is 42 years old. He works two weeks on and two weeks off on oil rigs in Aberdeen. He had tried to sort things himself for years. He kept going round in circles.Then he lost 15 kilos, ran his first half marathon, and booked a cycling race in Mallorca.In this episode Guy sits down with me for a completely unscripted, raw and honest client hot seat covering everything. The moment on the floor. The back pain. The snapping at the people he loved most. The night shifts. The rugby career that defined him and then ended. And the journey that changed everything.We talk about:Why stepping away from playing rugby left a gap he never expected.How his weight and mood were quietly affecting everyone around him.What he tried before and why it kept failing. What finally made him reach out and what shocked him about the process. How he lost 12 kilos working night shifts and two week oil rig rotations.What the half marathon finish line felt like and what Mallorca means to him now.If you have ever been the fit one, the sporty one, the active one and then looked up one day and thought how did I get here, this episode is going to hit differently.📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/
