Finding Joy in Fitness: A Conversation with Camp Gladiator Trainers Amy and Kara

What does fitness mean to you? For our dynamic duo guests, Amy and Kara from Camp Gladiator, it's all about embracing joyful movement rather than obsessing over the numbers on the scale. They bring a refreshing perspective to fitness, sharing their personal stories and discussing the unique, inclusive environment they've created for people of all ages and fitness levels to feel accomplished and successful.
Fitness isn't simply a destination but a journey, and it's often riddled with hurdles like imposter syndrome. Amy and Kara didn't shy away from sharing their experiences and how they navigated around them. They highlight the power of community in fitness and how they ensure individual attention in their classes, creating an atmosphere wherein everyone feels seen, heard and valued. From their approach to fitness, it's clear that it's about how you feel and the strength you build, not just how you look.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn towards exploring the postpartum body and the pressures that come with it. How can we embrace our changing bodies and find joy in movement? Amy and Kara offer insights into this, along with discussing the importance of body acceptance. The topic of pelvic floor therapy comes up too, shedding light on the need to view fitness as an investment rather than an expense. So, get ready to get inspired, feel empowered and maybe even chuckle at a dad joke or two – all while learning to find joy in movement with Amy and Kara.
