The personal trainer who gained 72lbs, in a bid to empathise with his clients, has revealed how he and his wife were stunned by the emotional toll it took on their marriage.

Drew Manning, 30, from Eagle Mountain, Utah, went from rippling muscles and a 34in waist to an obese 263lbs six moths ago, to better understand how it would feel to lose it.

In an interview today with Good Morning America to show how quickly he had returned to his former glory, wife Lynn described how radically her husband's personality had changed with his body.

Still together: Drew Manning's wife told ABC how hard it was to watch her the personal trainer pile on 72lbs in six months and how he became a different person because of the weight gain

Though the experiment was inspired by physical appearance, Mrs Manning admitted that her husband, a usually hands-on father, became lazy.

'I was shocked because I really thought this was only going to be a physical transformation, that Drew was going to pack on the weight and lose it because it was "on purpose",' the mother-of-two said.
