Woman Loses 40% of Body Weight to Honor Late Brother's Memory
Rachel, 41, has lost over 40kg—more than 40% of her body weight—through a fitness program called Chub Club, in tribute to her younger brother Matt, who passed away from leukemia a decade ago. Her journey has transformed both her body and mindset.
Rachel, a 41-year-old woman, has transformed her life by shedding more than 40kg (6st), equating to over 40% of her body weight. Her weight loss journey wasn’t just about health—it was a heartfelt tribute to her younger brother Matt, who died from leukemia at the age of 23, exactly ten years ago.
Rachel, along with her twin sister Cath, recently cut her hair to raise awareness and funds in Matt’s memory. This emotional act was part of her broader transformation journey, which she embarked on through a unique fitness program called Chub Club.
Chub Club, run by Dan and Lisa Sobey of SobeyFitness, emphasizes real, sustainable lifestyle change. According to Dan, Rachel has faced multiple challenges and responsibilities since joining, but her resilience has led to impressive results.
Since joining Chub Club in 2022, Rachel has moved her Body Mass Index (BMI) from 'severely obese' to 'healthy'. Dan explained that her metabolic age has dropped by over 30 years, and she has improved hydration, bone strength, and reduced dangerous visceral fat levels.
Rachel shared her motivation: 'This isn’t just about changing my body. It’s about honouring my brother. It’s about showing my kids and everyone around me what’s possible. And it’s about doing something for me—because I finally believe I’m worth it.'
Lisa Sobey added: 'We’re not in the business of creating repeat customers—we’re in the business of setting people free. When someone like Rachel joins us, they’re not just changing numbers—they’re rewriting their story.'
Founded in 2019, Chub Club focuses on both physical and mental transformation, helping participants declutter their lives and build healthier habits. The program has even been adopted by the NHS Health and Wellbeing Centre at Derriford.
The five-week course includes online support and weekly body measurements like weight and BMI. For more information, visit www.chubclub.co.uk.
