"I do believe we need to redefine fitness from the ground up, the organizational culture, the low expectations of service providers, the culture of blame, the imagery. We need more understanding of the connection to mental and emotional health, we need to challenge fat shaming and fitness shaming, gyms and health centers need to be more accommodating, for instance, when it comes to benches to sit on on the gym floor, [changing stall] sizes and attitudes of staff. We need to discuss the journey and create understanding. We also need to promote fitness to people of all sizes."
