Balancing sports and mental health

In one video, he explains why he moved away from powerlifting.

He opened up about falling out of love with the sport, as well as battling with “closedmindedness”.

Mental health is a very important subject for Fergus and he has been very open about a suicide attempt which took place in 2018. 

He has used his fitness work to raise funds and awareness for men’s mental health, which has led him to raise almost £100,000 for Movember.
