They might spend their days working on others' physiques, but now two local personal trainers are set to bare theirs in a full-frontal display to more than 200 people - and for a very special reason.
Physique Transformations’ Cameron Elliott and Tom Frame have agreed to ditch the gym for the dance studio for the next three weeks as part of a unique charity challenge.
Their mission - set by local choreographer Christophe Chateau - is to perfect a flesh flashing routine to be performed alongside the Utopia male striptease team on Friday 13 October.
Cameron and Tom have chosen two different charities to which the proceeds will go - Cameron has chosen to support local cancer sufferer Laura Cafferty, who has just two years to live needs help to fund her specialist treatments, while Tom has selected Silkworth Lodge, which helps to rehabilitate drug and alcohol users.
For the two aspiring Magic Mikes, there'll be an added element of complication to the show - they'll also be competing against each other, which choreographer Christophe described as a "character building challenge."
Cameron says he's already had a head-start with his first rehearsal. He told Express that he's nervous being out of his comfort zone, but that "it's for two great causes so it'll be fun." He was concerned as to how his fiancé would take the news of his participation, but she's already said to have bought her front row ticket.

Tom added: "Both Cam and I are extremely competitive so it will be interesting to see who gives the better performance on the night for such a great cause – and who will be the most nervous, as we’ve never done anything like this before."
So what will they be wearing - or baring? The fact the show is strictly over 18s only is perhaps a clue. "Well, you will just have to come along and find out how brave they really are…” Christophe said.
"They are working hard so I’m sure they will make everyone proud," he added.
