Body Rejection both internal and societal
Feelings of not belonging in wellness spaces
Generational messages of body hate
Fitness Trauma
Weight Stigma
Fear of failure, judgement, or injury
Inability to perform like other gym-goers which creates an element of shame

"SITA's Size Inclusive Fitness Specialist Training is a breath of fresh air in the fitness industry. I can't recommend this training enough! These affirming teachings can be of so much benefit to Personal Trainers, Yoga Teachers, Gym Owners, Nutritionists, and the clients they serve. Louise Green has created something very special here & I'm so thrilled to have been a part of her very first cohort!"
-Jill H, Wellness Coach & Practitioner, USA
There is a Proven Strategy to combat these barriers and an opportunity to be a part of changing the fabric of our fitness culture.
This course isn't about getting your plus-size clients to lose weight. We go well beyond correcting form and modifications. This is a recovery effort to change the way millions of people view exercise.
Unless a trainer fully understands the mental and physical challenges larger-bodied individuals face, there is the potential to further damage this client's relationship with exercise.
Fifteen years of knowledge and experience condensed into fifteen hours
This course is packed with information not taught in other programs. The curriculum was developed through the experience and knowledge gained through 20,000 dedicated hours studying plus-size body mechanics, mindset barriers, exercise adaptations, and motivation psychology specific to the plus-size demographic.
Green has the proven experience to elevate and mobilize plus-sized people from around the globe.

The material considers everything a person may encounter in their fitness experience, including marketing, gym atmosphere, building rapport, and programming for people in diverse bodies. This course should be a prerequisite for becoming a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, or strength coach."
