Personal trainer becomes obese on purpose to experience what clients go through

Why would someone whose job is to help people lose weight and get healthy, subject themselves to eating garbage foods and not exercising, you ask? Well, 30-year old Drew Manning from Eagle Mountain, Utah wanted to experience firsthand what his clients went through when struggling to get their fitness on track. Since May, Manning has gained about 70 pounds as part of his 6-month challenge of letting himself go. He’ll spend the following six months getting back into shape.

On his website, Manning says that his goal is to “Inspire people to get fit, teach them how to do it and give them hope that it IS possible to get fit and stay fit.”
