What if the reason you hate working out isn’t because you’re lazy, but because the space was never built with you in mind?
Most of us have been there. You walk into a gym, the mirrors are everywhere, someone yells something about burning off the weekend, and you spend the whole class watching yourself and wondering why you don't look like everyone else.
In this episode, we get into why boutique fitness has become as much about belonging as exercise, the emotional exhaustion of fitness culture, and why Tara thinks most people don’t actually hate working out nearly as much as they hate the experience surrounding it, plus:
- Why she removed the mirrors from her fitness studio entirely and what that one decision says about everything else she's built
- How she's created a fitness community where the energy people walk in with is protected and the judgment doesn't get through the door
- What strength training for women looks like when the goal is chasing strong instead of chasing skinny
- How she runs a genuinely body positive gym without making it a whole thing every single session
- Why belonging, safety, and joy turn out to be the health behaviors that actually keep people consistent and what HAES fitness has to do with it
If you've always had a heavy feeling before, during and after going to your fitness studio, you'll need to hear what Tara shared in this episode about inclusive fitness as it's such a breath of fresh air.
Let’s rebrand wellness together!
