and felt a huge pressure in my
chest. I’d just got over a chest
infection and thought it was maybe
the after effects, so I kept walking
to get to work. When I got there,
I had to hold myself up. At this point,
I knew something was seriously
wrong and visited my GP who
rushed me to hospital.”
It turned out Leroy was
suffering from a heart attack!
“I was in complete and utter
shock,” he recalls. “It made me
realise how vulnerable we all really
are. Although I was strong and
thought I was coping, my body was
telling me it needed to rest. It was
unbelievable how it all happened
so suddenly- I’d been leg pressing
some huge weights with ease
just a couple of days prior to the
attack.”
Leroy accepted he needed to
rest and recover properly. As a
grandparent to a 4-year-old he
wanted nothing more than to stay
fit and healthy for his family.
“I gave myself time to recover but
I definitely haven’t slowed down,” he
insists. “I’m fighting fit now and I’m
back punishing clients from all over
the world. My clients come to train
NASTY- and we get results!”
