Toxic Gym Culture

This week I chat with the fabulous Jodie Arnot, anti-diet fitness professional and co-founder of the Moderation Movement. She is RAGING about the toxic, obsessive, exclusionary and downright cult-like culture of gyms. It seems like there’s no safe place for us to go and simply enjoy moving our bodies anymore: instead, we’re very likely to feel like we’ve stumbled into a weight loss centre. It’s bad for everyone, but particularly for anyone in a larger body, finding a safe space to exercise is like finding the proverbial hen’s tooth. Just what has happened to make the culture like this, and what can we do to make it better?   Show Notes   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
