Darcy Cogdale: From Prison to Personal Trainer

I promised myself when I was in there that, no matter what I'll do, I'll never go back to that life and no matter what happens to my mum, if something happens or I'm in there, I'm gonna keep making her proud long after she's gone.
Ever felt trapped by your past mistakes? Meet Darcy Cogdale, a man who turned his life around in the most unexpected place - prison. Bullied and struggling with self-esteem issues, Darcy found solace in the wrong crowd and soon spiraled into daily drug use and dealing. His lifestyle led him to Lotus Glen Correctional Centre, but instead of breaking him, it became his turning point. Inside those walls, Darcy discovered the transformative power of fitness.
He embraced a structured routine that not only kept him physically fit but also provided much-needed mental clarity. After his release, Darcy didn't just leave his old life behind; he sprinted towards a new one. Now a passionate personal trainer, he's dedicated to helping others change their lives through fitness and positive habits. In this episode of The Truth About Addiction, host Ron Isherwood chats with Darcy about his incredible journey from addiction to fitness.
Darcy shares how accountability, routine, and a supportive community played crucial roles in his recovery. He offers practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction, emphasizing the importance of building healthy habits and making positive choices every day. Tune in to hear Darcy's inspiring story and learn how fitness can be a powerful tool in the journey to sobriety.
