Only 1 in 5 women in Australia are satisfied with their body weight. The constant exposure from social media and TV adverts showing bodies that are not realistic or representative of the general population can easily stir up feelings of anxiety and impact our sense of self.
Many women refuse to go to a gym, knowing that they just don’t fit the stereotypical image of the usual attendee. This is especially true for women with a disability, older women, women who feel unfit, or women who feel that they are overweight. Because they feel they are being judged, they avoid the exercise that could help them become stronger and healthier! If only there was a kind and compassionate personal trainer able to help with both their physical fitness AND their body image issues!
