“With the help, support and guidance of my pal Paul Byrne @bodybyrne I started a 12 week program of training, diet and no booze.

The married father-of-two was full of praise for Paul Byrne of Body Byrne Training whom he credited for getting himself back in shape.

“Thank you yet again for picking me up and believing I’m worth the time and effort.
