‘You find things you enjoy about the gym and that’s the one thing I struggled with when I was old enough to be going to the gym but not recently.

‘When I used to go to the gym by myself, I would just lift the weights and use the running machine and I hate that.

‘It’s monotonous, there’s nothing enjoyable for me about that.

‘But my PT quickly realised that there were things that I might enjoy and that was boxing.

‘Like physical things.’

‘But it wasn’t until my pupils asked questions about it when they witness me checking my blood glucose levels one time that made me realise how important it was to talk about it and help them to understand it.’
