McGeeney on remarkable 7 stone weight loss: “I saw myself on TV and knew I needed to lose some weight”

Mark McGeeney has been one of a host of darts players during lockdown to reap the benefits with ‘The Gladiator’ going through a weight loss transformation.

McGeeney had lost seven stone since making the decision to start the journey and he spoke to Tungsten Tales recently to discuss it.

“I think it was after the Ally Pally in 2019, I saw myself on TV and knew I needed to lose some weight. That was the time that I decided I’m going to do it, I’ve been putting it off for years. Since then I’ve lost seven stone,” said McGeeney to Tungsten Tales.

“I needed to lose weight because I was noticing I was getting really unhealthy and my knees were starting to go on me because of all the weight I had on me.”

“But then from a darting point of view, you look at Steve Beaton who for me is the perfect example. He’s been playing darts for 30-40 years now and he still looks trim, he keeps himself in shape. So he’s a big inspiration for me.”
