In this powerful episode of Big Fellas, Darren and Mark are joined by Matt Gibson, whose story of transformation is as inspiring as it gets, from battling obesity and chronic pain to running ultra marathons.
Matt opens up about his early struggles with denial around his weight and the wake-up call that came when sciatica forced him to face his health head-on. His turning point came when he joined Man v Fat, combining his love of football with a supportive community that helped him stay accountable.
He shares the small, sustainable changes that made a massive impact, focusing on balance over perfection, with strict discipline during the week and flexibility at weekends. Matt also talks about his incredible journey into endurance running and how it has become a symbol of how far he’s come, both physically and mentally.
Beyond fitness, Matt’s story carries deep emotional weight as he discusses his motivation to raise awareness and funds for Huntington’s disease, which has affected his family. His journey is a reminder that transformation is about far more than weight — it’s about purpose, resilience, and community.
