On today’s episode with Becky Scott we’re chatting about microaggressions in the fitness industry, the problematic “worth it” aspect of exercise, how to create more inclusive fitness spaces, and the work she’s doing with FitPros Against Weight Stigma.
Becky is the creator of MissFits Workout. Becky found body positivity and fat liberation in her early thirties after a lifetime of self-hate, ‘failed’ diets and exercise regimes. By following bloggers and influencers she began to challenge her views on the diet industry, find peace with her body and grow in self-confidence. She rediscovered her love of dance and joyful movement and found it liberating! She began to blog about her experiences as a plus size Health at Every size fitness enthusiast and became a This Girl Can Ambassador in her home county.
Becky has since trained as a fitness instructor and now leads her own dance-based exercise classes – MissFits Workout! She promotes a holistic approach to fitness and wellbeing that’s not about aesthetics – She’s more about building confidence than muscle, more about losing inhibitions than inches! Becky’s approach offers a great introduction to dance based group fitness for those who don’t feel ‘at home’ in the gym – with a plus size instructor who has designed routines with plus size bodies in mind.
