Abi Hollyoake, 32, had always wanted to be a firefighter, just like her dad, but she was always just a bit too overweight for that. Each time she went to her local fire station she failed the fitness tests. Determined to achieve her dream, mother of two started working out and went from 101 kg to 63 in two years. She’s now a happy firefighter for Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.
