Training for Life

Train with REAL women ~ NOT Robots!


Listen Later

Description:

In this episode, Sarah and Tanna go on a much-needed rant after discovering the rise of AI-generated avatars promoting fitness programs online. 🤖💪

They unpack why this trend is so harmful, especially for women, and why real, diverse, imperfect, and powerful women are the true role models we should be surrounding ourselves with. 👏✨

Expect raw honesty, fired-up energy, and a reminder of what real health looks and feels like. You’ll walk away feeling more grounded, connected, and proud of your real-life body, goals, and community. 🙌 ⚠️ Spoiler alert: If you’ve ever looked at an online fitness ad and thought “Wow, I want to look like her”… you might’ve been comparing yourself to a robot. 🫠 ⏱️
