Gerwyn Price recently flaunted his toned physique in a social media post, declaring that he is in the best shape of his life. The Welsh darts player has undergone a significant weight loss transformation alongside his successful performances on the oche, including winning the Poland Masters and reaching the final of the Bahrain Masters this year.
Price’s intense workout regimen has led to a noticeable reduction in his weight, prompting some observers to express surprise at his transformed appearance. Despite the reactions, Price has brushed off concerns about his physical changes, asserting that he feels and looks better than ever in his fit form.
Pundit Damian Vlottes shared his astonishment at Price’s appearance during the European Championship, comparing him to a much slimmer version of his former self. While acknowledging the drastic transformation, Vlottes advised Price to consider adding some weight back for his well-being, emphasizing that the feedback was meant as friendly guidance.
Throughout his darts career, Price has been known for his imposing presence, which he initially developed during his days playing rugby. Transitioning from a rugby career in 2014, where he played as a hooker for Welsh Premier Division teams Neath and Cross Keys, Price’s athletic background also includes stints with URC side Glasgow Warriors and appearances in rugby league with South Wales Scorpions and Blackwood Bulldogs, as well as earning caps with the Wales Dragonhearts amateur international rugby league team.
Phil Vickery, a former England Rugby World Cup winner, lauded Price’s commitment and consistency on social media, applauding his dedication to maintaining his fitness journey.
