TRAINING ACADEMY

Creating Equality for Larger Bodied People in Wellness Spaces, by Changing The Fitness Industry One Professional At a Time

The Size Inclusive Training Academy is on a mission to bring awareness to weight bias in wellness spaces and to educate wellness professionals on how they can operate a more inclusive practice.

Not only are larger-bodied people underrepresented in the fitness industry, but when they are shown it is often done in a way that shames them and/or calls their bodies something that needs to be changed or fixed. ⁠
⁠
This current paradigm on larger bodies in our fitness industry actually deters larger people from engaging in fitness in a healthy and sustainable manner. ⁠
⁠
We are working to change this. ⁠
One trainer. ⁠
One gym. ⁠
One person at a time. ⁠

“ACE [American Council on Exercise] is proud to partner with the Size Inclusive Training Academy to better serve individuals who have larger bodies...ensuring that exercise professionals apply a weight neutral mentality in working with this population creates a more welcoming environment for the client and a more inclusive space in the fitness industry. This provides equal access to a healthier lifestyle and more opportunities to incorporate movement into people’s daily lives regardless of individual differences.”

- Cedric X. Bryant, ACE President and Chief Science Officer.

This course is something I think all Fitness Professionals should take. Although there is a positive change happening in the industry, far too many training courses out there are behind the times when it come to including size inclusiveness as part of their curriculum. Louise was fantastic at covering all areas of this subject and helping to pave the way towards a more inclusive environment in the fitness industry. Take this course, you will not be disappointed as Louise ensures all your questions are answered and you feel well equipped to help make the necessary changes the industry so desperately needs.

I believe this course should be an essential part of any fitness instructor, health coach, or personal trainer certification program. With this training I got a deeper education about the need for size inclusive fitness experiences. I’ve now got access to resources and am part of a wonderful community of fitness pros. I no longer feel like I’m alone in believing that everyone should have access to fitness programs that don’t trigger them. I’m so excited about what comes next for my clients.
