On today’s episode we discuss why it’s important for ALL of us to see all sizes of bodies represented in the fitness space.
Our guest, Dr. Rachel Millner is on a mission to make fitness more accessible to folks in larger bodies .
During this conversation Rachel and I talked about:
- Rachel’s personal eating disorder history and how that was handled when she was at a higher and lower weight
- How she repaired her disordered relationship with movement and the role Peleton played in that.
- What Rachel plans to bring to Peleton WHEN she is hired as a cycling instructor
- How inclusion and representation in fitness spaces helps improve fitness outcomes for everyone.
PLEASE! Support Rachel’s campaign to become a fat cycling instructor at Peleton.
