Soph Ingram | There's a silent crisis in the fitness industry right now | F&T#26

Soph Ingram is a qualified personal trainer who designs and leads women’s wellbeing retreats.Trigger warning: in this episode she speaks candidly about her journey from her childhood and into the fitness industry and the realities that often go unspoken therein, namely the “silent crisis” of presenting as if healthy while actually experiencing disordered eating that she’s observed in women’s spaces and I’ve certainly seen in bodybuilding circles.We reflect on what it means to look like a PT as well as the idea that “we are all just doing our best,” and we talk about the differences between same-sex friendships and how they shape our ability to open up.The conversation also touches on fears around relationships, including the question, “Will I be alright if this person leaves me?”, and the misconception that looking healthy and being happy are the same thing. If you’re reading this and experiencing any form of “crazy” thought, chances are we’ve thought it too!Find more from Soph:https://www.instagram.com/revert_fitness/https://www.instagram.com/revert_retreats/https://www.revertfitness.com/upcoming-retreatsF&TForget six packs as a measure of wellness, over this way, the Fitness & Thinking podcast centres on six pillars and you can now catch us audio-only on Apple Podcasts on Wednesday evenings and in surround-sound technicolour on Spotify or YouTube on Thursday mornings and catch the newsletter on Substack: https://fitnessandthinking.substack.com/
