265: Health, fitness and body confidence for GBTQ+ people | Part 1
Season 6, Ep. 265
•
12% of all gym sign-ups happen in January, but what is unique about health and fitness for the queer community? Body confidence, body image, and the gym itself can be a thorny topic for LGBTQ+ people. Today we are joined by Matt Boyles, who specialises in helping gay, bisexual and trans men to improve their relationship with exercise! It’s a brilliant episode about broadening your fitness goals beyond physical changes and understanding how gay shame can present itself in a fitness environment. Prepare to be inspired and see y’all in the gym!
