As Seen In

For Fitness Professionals:

Helping Non-Traditional Clients Overcome Gymtimidation

As a plus size Black woman, Roz understands how it feels to be intimidated by the fitness industry. The industry's obsession with young, slender, and super strong athletes often alienates plus size, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and adaptive athletes. This talk teaches coaches how to help these nontraditional athletes start a movement practice they'll crave through practical tried-and-true strategies. We’ll talk about:

  • Defining gym-timidation and what stops marginalized people from working out

  • Inclusive marketing practices

  • Less intimidating intake sessions

  • Meeting clients where they're at physically and emotionally

  • Personalizing success to each client


For Athletes:

Her experience as both athlete and fitness professional have helped her push past internalized fear to achieve athletic glory. Now, she’s on a mission to spread her gospel with the masses. Topics we’ll cover:

  • Diversifying your social media feeds

  • Diversifying your activities (and expecting some failure)
