Our thoughts about Sigman Nutrition Article on Body Image

As the owner of Absolute Pilates, I am passionate about creating a positive and safe environment for my clients to achieve their fitness goals. In the fitness industry, there has been a lot of pressure to conform to certain standards that may not necessarily align with the best interests of our clients. That's why I want to share with you an article that highlights some of the potential harms of the fitness industry and how we can take steps to protect ourselves.

The article, written by Danny Lennon of Sigma Nutrition, delves into the harmful practices that can be prevalent in the fitness industry, such as using before-and-after photos as a measure of success, promoting extreme and unsustainable diets, and encouraging over-exercising to the point of injury. These practices can cause physical harm to our bodies, but also mental and emotional harm in the form of negative body image and disordered eating patterns.

At Absolute Pilates, we believe in promoting sustainable and healthy habits that prioritize our clients' overall well-being. Our certified instructors provide personalized attention to each client to ensure proper form and technique, which not only maximizes the effectiveness of the workout but also minimizes the risk of injury. We also prioritize creating a supportive community where our clients feel comfortable and empowered to reach their goals.

I encourage you to read the article and educate yourself on some of the potential harms of the fitness industry. As a responsible fitness studio owner, I strive to provide a safe and positive space for my clients to achieve their goals. I believe that by promoting sustainable and healthy habits, we can create a better fitness industry that prioritizes the well-being of its clients.
