In the fitness industry, there is often too much emphasis placed on being a certain shape and size. Even though there isn’t just one way to be strong, fit, and healthy, the images typically showcased in related marketing, social media posts, and education are still pretty clichéd: noticeably muscular men and slender women who “glow” rather than sweat. In today’s episode, we unpack why these stereotypes are harmful, why coaches must be especially careful when it comes to voicing their own unconscious biases about body image, and why commenting on another person’s body is almost always inappropriate, even if you believe it’s well-intentioned. Tune in to find out why we should take the focus off size, shape, and appearance in the fitness industry and celebrate movement instead!
