The personal trainer helping others who are battling eating disorders

Mhairi is a 22-year-old personal trainer from Glasgow. As a teenager, she suffered from anorexia, obsessing over her appearance, exercising constantly, and eating very little. Her thinking was, as she explains, “totally warped”. Her mum, Rosemary, was terrified that her daughter was going to die from the disease.
Eventually, Mhairi was admitted to hospital and began a slow path back to recovery. Now fit and healthy, Mhairi specialises in helping others with eating disorders, like her client Lorna. “Mhairi doesn’t just deal with how you are in the gym,” Lorna explains. “She cares about every aspect… she makes you feel like you can take on absolutely anything.”
