Nineteen years sober, country singer Trey Lewis has conquered more than addiction. He’s shed over 100 pounds-twice-most recently dropping from 292 to a steady 225, a transformation that powers both his performances and platinum career.
Lewis’ second weight-loss journey began not in a gym, but in a friend’s cold tub. Committed to sobriety but struggling with food, he challenged Nashville performance specialist Justin Todd: ‘If you get a cold plunge, I’ll start working out.’ Todd got the tub, and Lewis showed up. Three days a week became a regimen of mobility work, compound lifts, and playful conditioning-pickup basketball and disc golf keep it fresh. The scale dipped, but the real benchmark became stamina: he can now run four miles and bang out pushups onstage without missing a note.
That vitality fuels a double-platinum breakout hit, “Dicked Down in Dallas,” which turned a barroom novelty into a full-time touring career. With a Sony Music Publishing deal and cuts for Tracy Lawrence and Cole Swindell, Lewis is no one‑hit wonder. A second, introspective project, Thomason, and new single “2 Inches” signal an artist in control.
Now a sauna devotee (20 minutes at 200 degrees replaces cold plunges), Lewis rises at 6 a.m. to train, prays, meditates, then writes songs. He’s traded 2 a.m. bedtimes for 9 p.m. lights‑out. The pounds stay off because wellness, not weight, is the goal.
