Over Weight and Lazy waste of skin - Stoke

[TwoManyPies]

Hi Guys,

I'm 33 and over weight around 6" and 17.5 Stone, I've always wanted to try MMA but never had the balls to get started due to my lack of skills having never trained in any type of fighting art. I did 10 years in the army and was once very fit, however now I hate my body and the slob i have become, I'm looking for a gym that welcomes brand newbies that are keen to learn and change there whole lifestyle and diet.

I live in Alsager, Stoke-On-Trent and run a two companies so time is tight but I can move things around to suit this is something i want to do for myself and my family.

My idea at the moment is morning jogs and evening class's please let me know if there are any gyms in the area that can help.

Steve.
