In this season opener, we sit down with George Middleton — a local Southampton man whose fitness journey has transformed not just his body, but his entire life.
From being told he could lose a foot due to complications from type 2 diabetes… to running 10Ks, rehabbing broken bones, and gaining the confidence to step into the gym — George's story is brutally honest, unexpectedly funny, and deeply moving.
This isn't a story about six-packs or before-and-after photos. It's about:
💭 The mental toll of body dysmorphia
👟 Why walking for 15 minutes a day was the most powerful place to start
🤝 The importance of community, kindness, and asking questions
🧠 How fear, education, and persistence reshaped his mindset
🗣️ And how fitness didn't just change his health — it helped him reclaim his life
If you've ever felt unsure, unmotivated, or like you were starting from too far back — this episode will meet you where you are.
George's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how long you've been stuck, no matter how many times you've "failed" — you can always start again.
