Members of a Chandler's Ford gym have lost the weight of a baby elephant this year.
The gym-goers from DMF personal fitness have just finished an eight week 'biggest loser' challenge to kick start 2025.
The programme has seen them lose a massive 151kg of fat, the same as a male baby African elephant.

Members also walked a total of 36.4 million steps during the eight weeks.
It was designed to help members get in good shape by developing good nutrition and fitness habits and by working as a team to help motivate each other.
The members were split into three teams and each week there was a different challenge, including step week and the protein target challenge.

"It became quite competitive with the coaching team which created a great atmosphere around the gym in training sessions.
"I’m really proud of what they have achieved."
