Fit for life: Olly and Zane's story

Rounding up our season looking at the people whose job it is to help others, this week we’re heading to the gym to meet personal trainers Olly and Zane. Both have had their own struggles and have used exercise and fitness to help themselves out of a slump and maintain their mental well-being. For them, fitness isn’t about achieving the sort of image we’re all too familiar with - it’s about looking after yourself, valuing yourself and not expecting things to happen overnight. Our podcast recommendation of the week is ‘ Addicted to Sex ’ by the BBC. Trigger warnings for this episode: eating disorders, suicide, mental health.
