Performance ≠ health - but half the fitness industry isn't ready for that conversation.While performance goals can have positive effects on body image and self-worth, they’re not always a guarantee of a healthy relationship with exercise or food.

Check-ins are the cornerstone of our coaching process, and how we monitor client progress and challenges. And yet, we are often left with more questions than answers when our clients check-in.

With an emerging body of research to suggest that gay men are at elevated risk of disordered eating and body image concerns, there has never been more need for us to break the stigma around male body image and disordered eating.

You Don't Need to Diet for Christmas (BONUS)

All I want for Christmas is... coaches to stop telling clients they need to "earn" their holidays. Open your Instagram and chances are you'll be bombarded with "Santa shreds" or coaches offering to get you "Little Black Dress ready". You don't need a diet. You don't need to earn holidays. In fact, dieting will probably bring you further from food freedom and peace at Christmas. Don't worry though, the same coaches will then be selling a "January reset" for you to funnel your hard earned cash into

"I feel fat!" This is something that people who struggle with their body image often say.
