The image of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins embarking on an adventure sparked a desire in Smith to pursue his own well-being. This led him to start exercising, initially a walk, which ultimately resulted in a 25kg weight loss.
Now 56, Smith has established 'Fit in Midlife' to guide others through similar midlife challenges. He works as a personal trainer and nutritional adviser, coaching clients globally and building a substantial online presence.
