From Overweight to Fittest in the UK: Zack George PH187 - a podcast by Julie Foucher-Urcuyo MD, MS + Dani Urcuyo, MD
from 2021-03-16T01:00
Zack George finished the 2020 Open as the Fittest Man in the UK and 26th worldwide, but hearing this accomplishment, you would never guess how far he’s come.
As a child, a steady diet of sweets and fast food led to him being extremely overweight and self conscious. With the support of his family, he was slowly able to transform from a kid who hated exercise to one of the most athletic teens in his school.
Fueled by the knowledge of how much better he felt living a healthy lifestyle, Zack has made it his mission to inspire others to do the same. In addition to training for the 2021 CrossFit Games, he coaches others at his affiliate, CrossFit BFG, works with remote clients, and has just written a book based on his personal mantra: Start Where Others Stop.
In this episode, we chat about how making small changes can lead to dramatic results, why it’s important to surround yourself with the right community, and why it’s never too late to set big goals and chase them down.
