130. Can We Please Make Fitness Less Toxic?


Listen Later

Not all personal trainers are created equal. Some can help you build strength, confidence, and resilience—while others may leave you tied up (literally) in bad fitness practices.

 

In this episode, Tara is sharing fitness horror stories she has seen as a personal trainer, and exposing the biggest red flags to watch out for when choosing a personal trainer or fitness program. From trainers who push macros without qualifications to toxic gym culture that prioritizes aesthetics over well-being, we break down what makes a fitness professional truly supportive of your goals.

 

If you have ever felt guilted, shamed, or unheard in a fitness space, this episode is for you. We are here to help you find movement you enjoy, build confidence, and avoid the fitness industry’s biggest traps.

 

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Personal Training Horror Stories – From questionable workout tactics to clients refusing to touch resistance bands ever again
  • Red Flags vs Green Flags in Trainers and Gyms
  • The Problem with No Pain, No Gain mentality 
  • How to Find a Weight-Neutral Trainer
  • Why You Don’t Need Detoxes, Waist Trainers, or Fad Workouts to be healthy 
  •  

    Let’s connect and keep the conversation going!
