Podcasts about radically fit

Ozempic and other weight loss drugs have opened up a new conversation about our nation's obsession with thinness. This episode from 2022 delves into our nation's refusal to acknowledge that the ideal, at its core, is racist. How do we get beyond the belief that bigger Black bodies are a problem? And instead, allow ourselves, no matter what size, to take up space?GUESTS:Sabrina Strings, Ph.D., scholar and author of Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia.Carvell Wallace, author and memoirist.Mozell Ward, trainer at Radically Fit.INSTAGRAM:@carvell_wallaceLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: tonya@deartbt.com

First week in February and we’re killin’ it (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself lol!).This week, we’re continuing the impromptu “series” on all things body care with the incredible Luca Page. Luca has been a personal trainer living and loving in Oakland for over five years. After falling in love with working out, they wanted to share that passion with anyone who wanted to find it. As a queer person of color, they wanted to be able to open and run a gym for the LGTBQ/POC/Body Positive community. With the help and support of their community in Oakland, this dream became a possibility and Radically Fit was born. They are so grateful to be able to serve the community by doing something they truly love to do while reshaping people’s view of what “being fit” looks like. It’s all about empowerment and Luca helps us reconnect with that in this week’s episode. Enjoy!

Our guest this week is Lindsey Page, a personal trainer and the founder of Radically Fit - a gym for the LGTBQ/POC/Body Positive community, based in Oakland, CA. We talk about creating safe and inclusive fitness spaces, doing fitness without a weight loss agenda, why not having mirrors in the gym may actually be a great thing, and more!

We decided to leave that in because self defense training, especially for QTPOC, is so important. And hey, maybe you'll be able to catch the last class on Feb 22!You can find our own Nicky (aka Nicole) Gervacio leading a month long workshop at Radically Fit on Friday mornings in March!More at www.radicallyfitoakland.comIG & FB @radicallyfitoakland- and -www.weriseproduction.comIG & FB @weriseproductiontwitter @weriseproducers

Today, we take a look at turmoil happening in Sudan in a new series called Bay Views. Then, a new show by young people who say they aren't quite yet adults just yet. And, we'll hear about a space in Oakland where queer people of color are getting Radically Fit.Links:

Today, we’re talking to Luca Page, the founder of Radically Fit Oakland. Radically Fit is the Bay Area's body positive community gym for all queer, trans, POC, big bodied and fat identified folx and their allies, regardless of experience or ability. Luca first got into fitness while grieving the loss of a close friend. With physical movement being such an important part of their healing, they wanted to share it with others through their training. They created Radically Fit to build a safe space for fitness, self-care, and well-being for those who need it most, but often don’t feel served or welcome in more traditional fitness spaces. We had an insightful, honest conversation about inclusivity across race, gender identity, sexuality, and physical ability in the fitness space, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to share their story and mission. In this episode, we talk about… Luca’s experiences working in the fitness industry, and not having a body type traditionally seen as “fit.” Creating fitness offerings geared towards POC, queer, trans, big bodied, and fat identifying folks. Ways the fitness industry relies on shaming as a key marketing tactic, and how we can change that. The significance of representation across intersectionalities in the fitness space. What being an ally truly means.   RESOURCES: Radically Fit Website: https://www.radicallyfitoakland.com/ Follow Radically Fit on Instagram: @radicallyfitoakland Like Radically Fit on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RadicallyFitOakland/ If you’d like to visit Radically Fit, reach out to Luca at info@radicallyfitoakland.com   If you're in Seattle, join us for our first Balanced Black Girl book club meet-up on January 27!
