Women's Fitness Training and Gym in Brookvale, Northern Beaches.
Too skinny, too fat, too muscly, too weak, too pale, too dark, too curvy, too flat, too tall, too short, too round, too thin, the list goes on...
This is all I hear about in today’s articles about women’s bodies. We see constant complaints from women about how society is judgemental on their bodies and that it’s not fair.

There are some scary statistics about body image out there! It’s really worrying that over 90% of women are unhappy with their body and then resort to crazy diets and ineffective exercise regimes to try and look like the 5% of the women who naturally possess bodies that the magazines tell us we should strive to achieve!

All the time I hear women complaining about how their figure is not where they want it to be...
I feel their struggle!
It took me years of progress to finally love and be happy in my own skin

Although there is still a long way to go, terms like ‘strong is the new skinny’, weight based training systems like CrossFit, and an overall acceptance for the dedication and hard work muscly girls put in to achieve that ‘look’ is beginning to be recognized.
