Fitspo Is INFLUENCER Sweet Tarts, Not Coaching 😬 | Fix Your Fitness Influencer Algorithm

Fitspo is a net good. But most of what you get is incomplete, and that incompleteness is why you feel lost, distrust trainers, and keep getting sold “thick thighs and thick lies.” In this episode I break down the 4 things every fitness post is actually selling (LOOKS, NUMBERS, FOOD, HACKS), why women’s feeds skew toward looks and food while men’s skew toward numbers and PR culture, and why the algorithm has you clocked better than your own coach does.Then we fix it. You get a dead simple rubric to spot candy content versus coaching content, plus the “Missing Two” test: if an influencer is not covering at least two of the three pillars, PROGRAM (sets, reps, progression), FOOD (energy and protein rules), and GUARDRAILS (swaps, deloads, pain rules), treat it as vibes and keep it moving. This is how you stop getting trapped in gendered fitspo and build a feed that actually makes you stronger, leaner, and harder to confuse.Fitspo is a net good.
