This episode features Kat Schneider from the Centre for Appearance Research (UWE), sharing her journey from fitness professional to academic researcher. Together, we unpack body image, weight stigma, and weight bias—focusing on their impact in sport and exercise settings. We explore the persistent challenges in the health and fitness industry, the importance of challenging weight bias, and practical ways personal trainers can create more size-inclusive and welcoming environments. Kat also shares her vision for a fitness future rooted in inclusivity, respect, and support for all bodies and goals.
