Today I’m talking with Christa Gurka, owner of Pilates in the Grove, physical therapist and business coach. 

This episode is packed with so much great conversation including:

• Why shorter workouts are often better
• How to find a way to exercise that you actually like
• How to shift away from the all or nothing mindset around exercise
• COVID weight gain
• Body shaming in the fitness industry

I think you’ll be surprised to hear Christa’s candid personal feelings about exercise (she doesn’t love it!) and how she approaches movement and self care despite that resistance. 

And as a Pilates instructor working in a “thin is better” culture, Christa shares her recent experience of gaining weight and the radical acceptance she’s found in this differently shaped body. It is incredibly honest and inspiring.
