SIZE INCLUSIVE

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. ⁠

SITA FOUNDER

Louise Green

Coach, Educator, Trainer, Two Time Author

The Size Inclusive Training Academy [SITA] was founded by Fitness Industry Veteran, Louise Green. Green started her fitness career in size-inclusivity in 2007 when she opened the first fitness bootcamps exclusive to plus-size clients in Canada. Since 2007, Green has expanded her business across the globe with online coaching, a fitness app called Big Fit Girl and a column at SELF Magazine. She has authored two books, Big Fit Girl and Fitness For Everyone. She continues to educate and consult industry professionals and brands on how to become more size inclusive. Louise tenaciously works to create equality and accessibility for larger bodied people to safely and effectively gain better health through movement.

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.
