Alison Hammond expressed her gratitude and praised her trainer’s support and kindness during her incredible 1-stone weight loss journey, which she shared on Instagram on Sunday.
The This morning host, 50, proudly showed off her five-year transformation as she took to the weights section to give fans a glimpse into her workout routine.
The clip details Alison’s fierce efforts to get fitter as her longtime personal trainer, Ellis Gatfield, shared a video of her using resistance bands to sit up and stand up from a chair.
Alison reposted the video as she gushed about how grateful she was to Ellis: ‘Huge thanks to the incredible @ellisgatfield who started my whole fitness journey,’ the TV star wrote.
‘I will never forget the time you gave me and how gentle and kind you were when I was struggling. You have made my life so much easier with simple changes and kindness I will never forget.’
‘You never looked down on me and for that I will always be grateful. So glad you can still check in on me and push me and hold me accountable.’
Alison has lost 11 stone over the past five years, prompted by the discovery she was pre-diabetic – a situation she has reversed with healthier food choices and exercise.
