Gym Class Revolution

  • Summary

  • We’re on a mission to promote exercise not as a means for weight loss, but as a tool for self-care. On this show, we talk about physical activity beyond the usual gym workouts to revolutionize what exercise means and transform your self care.This podcast was created specifically for marginalized communities because not all fitness spaces were created for us so We focus on experiences from black indigenous people of color, LGBTQ folks, and folks with disabilities. With this focus, we aim to make exercise more accessible, so that it’s positive effects will reverberate throughout our communities.

    If you're ready to confront yourself to stop letting perfectionism get in your way, you need to ask yourself these questions:

    • What’s the first earliest memory of perfectionism? 
    • How has perfectionism helped me or hurt me in the past?
    • How is it trying to keep me safe with xyz?
    • What are all the good things that could happen if I didn’t care about being perfect?
    • What’s the worst that could happen?
    • Why is it SO important to do my best to be perfect?

  • How Perfectionism Ruins Exercise
    Mar 23 2021

    Does perfectionism derail your exercise goals? Perfectionism leads us to:

    • Procrastinate until we feel "ready"
    • Quit due to all-or-nothing mindset
    • Obsess over linear and efficient progress
    • Scrutinize how we compare to others
    • Value performance over experience

    If you fall into these behaviors, listen on to see how you can recognize these patterns.
