159. Redefining Fitness Culture

Something that has really been on my mind lately is fitness culture (or gym culture), and what it looks like to redefine that.

Fitness culture is EVERYWHERE these days. It can provide motivation, support, and a sense of community, which are all amazing things!

But…it can also lead to unhealthy thoughts and beliefs that are unrealistic, and end up doing more harm than good.

I personally LOVE following other women in the fitness space; I look to them for inspiration and motivation, but I also find myself feeling overwhelmed and drained if I’m doing too much of it. I bet you can relate to this, too!

Instead of following and consuming content from every.single.fitness coach, influencer, etc. online, I want to encourage you to ONLY learn from those who align with your personal goals.

Redefining fitness culture/gym culture is super important to me - it’s a huge reason why I’m all about helping you unfuck your fitness with this podcast, my programs, and more. 

Ultimately, I hope this episode leaves you refreshed, inspired, and ready to embrace the path that feels right for YOU!

• What you think you’ll feel vs. what you *actually* feel when consuming other people’s content online
• What gym culture/fitness culture refers to
