The fitness industry, like many others, has long struggled with issues related to the range of body types and weight bias. It's vital to recognize that fitness is not a one-size-fits-all journey and that regardless of body type or weight, everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. By acknowledging and addressing biases we may have, we can foster a more inclusive environment that promotes overall wellness, and we can make needed adjustments in our thinking and behavior.
