Here's a little bit about Dr Iron's apparel

Growing up I had low self - esteem and confidence.

Through my early to mid 20's I developed severe clinical depression although I wasn't diagnosed until my early 30's when it was so bad I contemplated ending my life, to top it all off I was extremely overweight with a bodyweight of nearly 150kgs. A workmate seeing how bad both my weight and mental health were encouraged me to join a gym, so I did, and initially I was self - conscious about my body, as I trained the weight began to drop I felt better about myself, I was on medication for my depression and I started to think to my self that I am not fat I have fat, and I was happier and more energetic than ever and people noticed the change which gave me more confidence. I was even the poster boy for one of the 8 week challenge competitions that my gym ran

The one thing I did find difficult was finding gym wear that fit me especially at the start of my journey, and I glimpsed at the tv during one of my workouts I saw a phrase that inspired me, it was just three words that changed my life, "NO WHITE FLAGS" no surrender, keep pushing.

Now I personally am not a doctor but there have been studies that prove exercise can increase the production of endorphins into the brain, increases moods reduces levels of depression and anxiety.

That is where the name Dr Iron's apparel comes from.
