Our Opinions About… The Evolution of Fitness Trends

In this episode of Girls With Opinions, we thought we were just going to talk about fitness trends we loved and regretted… and then it turned into a much bigger conversation.From Beachbody days to today’s GLP-1 era, we’re unpacking how fitness culture has evolved — and how our perspectives have changed right along with it. We talk about the trends we bought into, what we look back on with a little cringe, and what actually did help us along the way.But this episode goes deeper than just workouts and programs. We get into how messaging around fitness, weight loss, and health has shifted over time — including the current conversation around GLP-1 medications — and how complicated it can be to navigate what’s helpful, what’s harmful, and what’s just… noise.As always, this isn’t about judging anyone’s choices. It’s about sharing our experiences, being honest about what we’ve learned, and recognizing how much context matters when it comes to health, fitness, and the decisions people make.💬 In this episode:Fitness trends we used to love (and regret 😅)The impact of programs like BeachbodyHow fitness culture has shifted over timeThe current conversation around GLP-1 medicationsNavigating nuance in health, weight loss, and wellnessWhat we actually value now when it comes to fitness✨ You’ll walk away with:A more nuanced perspective on fitness trendsValidation if your views on health and fitness have changedA reminder that context matters more than trendsPermission to evolve your approach without guilt📲 Join the conversation on Instagram and tell us: what fitness trend do you regret the most?Erin: @ErinBurnsWellnessKristy: @KristyCastilloFit
