151. Weight-Neutral Fitness: Training for What Your Body Can Do with Mark Breedon


Listen Later

What if your workout had nothing to do with the number on the scale—and everything to do with what your body can do?

This week we’re joined by Mark Breedon, an online personal trainer who helps women build lasting confidence by getting stronger than they ever imagined. His weight-neutral philosophy shifts the focus away from aesthetics and toward strength, health, and independence because life-changing results aren’t just about how you look, they’re about what you can do.

Mark shares how he went from chasing bigger biceps to falling in love with powerlifting, and how that transformation led him to create a coaching approach free from weigh-ins, before-and-after photos, and body measurements. 

In this episode:

  • How training for strength can be more fulfilling and sustainable than training for weight loss
  • Real-life examples of clients discovering their strength (yes, even in their 70s and 80s!)
  • Why women often thrive in a strength-based program
  • The biggest mistakes the fitness industry makes about motivation and “discipline”
  • How to set non-aesthetic goals that keep you excited to train
