[Episode 7] My Controversial Fitness Opinions That Made People Angry (And Why I Stand by Them)
In this episode, I (Ben) share my background and how I ended up working in the fitness industry, from becoming a personal trainer to finding my voice online.
We talk about why I’m passionate about discussing mental health, outwardly supporting women (without excluding men lol), why I don’t believe fat loss is easy or achievable in the same way for everyone, and why I think large parts of the fitness industry feel unwelcoming, exclusionary, and often harmful.
I also open up about:
- What I strongly disagree with in the fitness industry
- Things I have said that have annoyed people online, and why I think they are often wrong about me
- My own experiences with mental health, and why I’m so outspoken about mental health issues in fitness
This episode is about what I stand for, who this podcast is for, and why I believe fitness needs to do better — especially for people who feel like they don’t “fit” the typical mould.
If you’ve ever felt confused, blamed, or pushed aside by fitness culture, this episode is for you, and is the final part of the series where you get to know us as your hosts, before we move onto specific health, fitness and nutrition topics.
