STRENGTH THROUGH ADVERSITY

Words Angelina Manzano

Looking at him, you wouldn't know Luke Grainger endured a childhood deeply affected by obesity. But for the full-of-life personal trainer, food was once a confusing and damaging aspect of growing up.

"I was always the biggest kid," he says, "but it was different back then. My mum and dad had no idea what was bad and good food. They were children of parents who went through the war and whatever you had on your plate, you finished it! That was drilled into me.
