Summary

This week on The Good Influence , the girls are BACK and getting real about fitness; the good, the bad, and the absolutely unhinged. We talk about toxic fitness culture, instructors who think their way is the only way, and why that mindset makes it harder for people to even start their fitness journey. We also get into: Why consistency > perfection every time How social media can discourage beginners (and why it shouldn’t) Making friends as an adult through fitness Wild workout horror stories Bar fights, Paris fights, keyed cars, and bananas (yes, really) At the end of the day, fitness should make you feel good, not judged, not boxed in, and definitely not scared to start. Move your body in a way you love, find your people, and don’t give a single f*ck about anyone else’s opinion. 🎙️ If you loved this episode, follow, rate, and subscribe so you never miss a new one. 📲 Share this with a friend who needs permission to start their fitness journey imperfectly. 🍌 And go eat a banana.
