Bold Stories: The Power of Putting Toxic Fitness Rules in the Bin (ft. Sally McWilliams)

In this episode of Amplified, Ellen chats with Sally McWilliams a body positive personal trainer and studio owner in Meanjin/Brisbane. With nearly two decades in the fitness industry, Sally shares how she broke away from weight-centric fitness in 2017 to embrace a HAES-aligned, size-inclusive approach. Ellen and Sally discuss the realities of weight stigma in fitness spaces and their experiences of unlearning diet culture, including the guilt of past harm and the transformative power of listening to lived experience. Together, they explore what it means to create truly inclusive fitness spaces, offering practical recommendations that move beyond weight and towards joy, compassion and self-acceptance.Connect with Us:🔹 Sally McWillams - https://fitwithsally.com/about/ - @fitwithsally🔹 Ellen Masson – @ellen.masson_ep🔹 Size Inclusive Health Australia – @sizeinclusivehealthau💌 Stay Connected: Subscribe to our newsletter or explore membership at https://www.sizeinclusivehealth.org.au/ 🤝 Get Involved: Want to help grow our community?
