About this listen
In this second part of our discussion with Ilya Parker, Ilya discusses the pervasive nature of toxic fitness culture, tracing its roots and harmful impacts. The conversation covers various facets of the weight loss industry, its exclusionary practices, and its connections to white supremacy, eugenics, ableism, and other oppressive systems. Ilya introduces the concept of 'toxic fitness culture' and the misinformation and harm it perpetuates. They emphasize the importance of reclaiming movement through acts of care and compassion, and offer practical advice for trainers and fitness spaces to create more inclusive and supportive environments. The discussion also touches on the problematic rise of diet trends like GLP-1 and the co-opting of wellness rhetoric by nationalist movements. Essential resources and strategies are highlighted for both individuals and professionals aiming to dismantle toxic fitness norms.
